I thought they were all going to play their age group? Some still playing up. Why? Have they considered dropping some and recruiting better players?

They were selling the team as if only 2012 and they were to bring down the best players. One left because she knew wasn’t good team. -
I think the 3 2013’s are still going to play a year up and the 4 2012’s playing a year up will eventually help the 2012’s.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

I’m guessing one of the 4 2012’s playing a year up left for a good team like FA at this age group?Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

but why should the talented girls who play up, play on weak team?

My simple rule is this: If the kid is not starting when playing up they should play their age. If the kid is a starter they should play up until they get beat out for the position.Comment

she should have been playing her age a while ago. Heard she went to 2012 AGAME which will not be as strong as MFA 2012.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Yes the girls will play their age group and up when appropriate as dictated by MFA Coaches. The girl that left was due to ECNL travels being overwhelming for her family - they opted to play local (nothing wrong with that). The girls’ parents obviously trust their development to MFA coaching staff perhaps you should let them be.Originally posted by Guest View Post
The MFA 2012 team will be solid whether the girls are all playing their age or not. It’s all about development of each player to her full potential and not just winning games or tournaments unless when it truly matters. Fortunately MFA has the wonderful luxury of deciding how best to use these wonderful players to both advance the club, team, and their skills. The future looks very bright

Even the MF Morris 2012 B team and MF Morris 2013 A team are better than that A-GAME team.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

C'mon be real, we all knew those girls wouldn't be playing 2012, some of you were truly dreaming if you bought that at contract time. Even if the existing 2012 team was unreal, no parent with a kid talented enough to start a year up would allow that. Just not good for their development. Moonlighting "when appropriate as dictated by MFA coaches", i.e. coming to save the day when needed is a much better arrangement for them.Comment

the 2012's are registered to play in U13 for the Fall. So are you saying that 2013's will be playing against 2011's?Comment

It is what it is… MFA 2012 Blue team will a strong team to reckon with especially if the 3 girls playing up are suited up in a game. Soccer while a team game is in fact a personal development journey for each player. Kids should be challenged and encouraged to grow at their own pace with healthy dose of effective coaching. I like hybrid approach MFA has implemented with these 2012 girls - hopefully their parents will embrace the opportunities presented within.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Reality is you can’t please everyone!!! Some people will always complain no matter what MFA does with these talented girls. Some are bound to complain if thsee girls were limited to playing their age resulting in some annihilation of opponents while others will complain if these girls only played up questioning why they are not playing their age to make the team stronger. It’s a no win situation for MFA as some people will always hate.Comment

Why wouldn’t the 2013’s playing up be playing against 2011’s? The 2012’s playing up played against 2010’s and they went undefeated last season. Soccer is not strictly played by year of birth rather by skills and physical abilities. Age is nothing but a number.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment
