Is match fit shore training really that bad???

[Guest]

Maybe they can hire a licensed coach to demonstrate how to train.

That would be a good start

MFS parents need to move their daughters and sons to clubs that train the technical and tactical skills they need to play when they get older and size evens out and kick and chase doesn’t work.

MFA shore has size on many of their teams. But you need more than size.

The scrimmage training is being exposed in Seattle.

Believe or not a few are just fine technical. The problem is the lack of ability to attract any talent. We played them, they had a girl up top with little ability but played almost entire game ever when out of energy early. Their middle can barely win a ball half the time so the outside attacking mid ends up doing 5 times the work. Their defense doesn't give up much, which is good because I saw some balls slow roll between the posts in playoffs. Give them a solid center mid, and a center attacker with speed and foot work and it's another story. Until then, they will be what they will be. This is just the 2011 team, never seen any others play.

Not sure why we call it training

At this stage of the game it could be tough to find those skills at a high level as ecrl isn't a huge draw, nor is the training at mf shore. If shore gets the badge you'll find those players.

Exactly.

I wonder what changes are in store for the 09 team after a second failed attempt at playoffs. Obliviously something needs to be done with this team, because what they have now isn't working.
