Goalies in U-13. I have 2 daughters in this age group so unfortunately-lol I watch alot of U-13 soccer. Over the years I have seen 3 very talented goalies while they played in U-little. I thought the NEFC GA, Stars ECNL and former Select goalie who I believe moved over to Scorpions ECNL, were all very good and have the talent to go far. Goalie is a tough position, especially when they are little, but those 3 goalies showed alot. It should be fun watching those 3 as they get older.

my daughter played at Liverpool at U-10 and U-11 in Taunton and I remember that select goalie. She was really good. Could punt it a mile and very active. She always shut my daughter's team out.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I'm very biased because I have a d on her team, but I love the composure and athleticism of the Stars goalie. She almost never lets in a bad goal. During the years I have seen some good goalie play in the U-13's. Like the poster said, it is a very tough position to play so good luck to all the goalies.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I'm with you. The select goalie was unreal for a young girl.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

As the girls get older goalies become so important when games become low scoring. You need a goalie that is solid. Im not familiar with these girls, but glad to hear there are some good younger goalies coming up in MassachusettsComment

you can add the keeper for surf RI (used to be at GPS RI) and the other keeper at Scorpions to this list. Good group of keepers in the area.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I don't know these girls but U13/U14 is where things get interesting for keepers. Those who got by on their athleticism at u-little on the smaller nets now have to learn the technical aspects of the position. Always best to start as a great athlete (and some genetics for height) but it only will take a girl so far. Lots of work ahead for these 12 and 12 year olds.Comment

Anyone know what is going on with surf RI? Rumblings that 08 team has alot of infighting. Each week starting right after Thanksgiving my daughter’s team has had a RI surf girl at practice. Wouldnt be surprised if several of the girls leave next year. My guess is that they overpromised parents as they always do. This team should be better than playing in the last division of Jefferson Cup in 08’s. U-13 Coaches are probably circling all over Surf RI.Comment

No idea but the 012 group can kick.Comment

Punting the ball a mile to the other team the #1 coveted skill for any keeper for sure! If they can play it to the other keeper in the small field the kid is a lock for USNT. Punting critical for teams that can't play soccer .... The best way to out a little time between the other teams goals.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I was the poster for that and in that particular game she got a beautiful assist to the striker. Select goalie punted the ball and the ball bounced twice and their striker had a clean breakaway and scored. She was a major weapon for select. Havent seen her at the Scorpions because Liverpool never plays them, but it would go without saying that she must be punting the ball very well. My point of posting was to give credit to a little girl on another team. I never said anything about USNT. I just remembered her when my daughter played her.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

lol this is ts dont expect too much when complimenting anyone. I love the positivity of your posts but..... expect that it will be taken to the gutter soon enough by other dads. Just roll with being positive and remember others aren't as positive. At the end of the day its just ts and anything goes.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I think the main issue is that goalie punting in U-10/11 is not something that should be happening much. That's the coaches fault, not the players though. But a "goalie assist to the striker," while it works on the small field and may seem fun, is not helping with player development for the goalie or anybody else.Comment

08 Girls
Is everyone on the same page that 2008 is 11v11 on the large field? I've yet to see a consistent corner kick to the goal from any 2008 this season, nevermind a 40 yard punt to a striker for a quick score. That will come in due time but right now these players are adjusting to the 4-6 miles they're running each game while trying to learn proper positioning.Comment
