There is no question that Nick Heinemann and the fellow coaches at PDA know a thing or two about soccer. Watching the Championship Game this weekend at FC Stars Cup, and previously reading all about WE ARE THE SHORE, PDA Legacy held position for 70% of the game and MF Shore 09 failed to have a legitimate shot on goal or breakaway; merely two free kicks from about 30 yards out. The talent was top notch on both teams and the game was hard fought, but PDA's foot skills easily regained position in the middle and they dominated passing around the MF Shore players. PDA is much more tactical and that is why they fair so well in ECNL and national tournaments. It is evident Nick Heinemann cares about developing his players and has been successful at doing so. It also seems some top talent has come to the team this year to make it stronger.
I guess it's not how many games you play but rather, how good your coach is at teaching these young players the actual game and the level of competition you play against. MF Shore will struggle in the ECNL, playing top teams like SUSA or Pipeline who all play tactically. Better coaching will help but not sure it will come fast enough for MF Shore.
