2013 Girls Age Group

[Guest]

Why tryout for GA rather than ECNL? GA is slowly dying.

Does anyone know how many girls are on each of these rosters? My daughter may try out for them in the spring. And I’m just wondering how many kids are on each roster.

Oh. That’s a lot. Are they playing 11v11 in the spring?? That would be the only explanation for having 15. Either that or they want their money

The Pre-GA/ecnl leagues transition completely to 11v11 in spring.
15 is not outlandish even for 9v9. 13-15 is standard for academies and higher level teams.

There is also a C team that only has like 9 kids on it, so plenty of chances to play with them to get extra games in and lose 11-0

15 for 9v9

my kid's team has 15 also. Most of the outfield players all get between 25-45 minutes, which is a bit borderline at U12. If you figure 480 minutes between 14 players, that's an average of 34 minutes. They probably should be playing more than that at this age. Assuming they'll also play 35 minute halves in the spring, that average goes to about 50 minutes. I have a feeling though that they'll add two or three players for the spring because our club loves big rosters. 17-18 isn't terrible for 11v11, but this is also the age where kids need to really get game minutes/reps in to develop.

I think that’s satisfactory. It is obviously great to play more, but in the battle of game v practice - practice always wins for importance & development.

Too many parents blame minutes that equate to half or slightly more than half the game for the child’s lack of improvement. Reps are what you do on your own time. Build that at home to earn more time.

Now if your child is playing significantly less than half it is time to look for a new team because the coach does not trust them to be in the game.

Can the Pre GA teams post their scores?

Can the Pre GA teams post their scores?

Why even have that highlighted from the front page of GA? If U8 team managers can figure out how to post scores, surely they can, but I'm guessing there's another reason why they're not being posted.

[Guest]

Best team in NJ?????????? Seriously. No lame comments like PDA passes the ball great between all their defenders and can't get the ball past the half because everyone knows their dumb game. Everyone just stands there and watches their dopey coach convince their dopey parents that they play the best soccer. Best team in NJ??? Let's go.
