Both Bayside U13 and 14s play better soccer then rays I dont think anyone will be leaving Bayside. In fact I hear that some rays players are already guest playing with Bayside.

I think you have that reversed. SOme bayside players are playing with the rays in a non-premier tournment this coming weekend Not aware of any rays players coming over to us on 13 or 14

Correct--no rays players on Bayside in any age group. Some Bayside players playing as GUESTS with rays u14 but implies no move to actually try and become part of the rays team next year as far as i know.

Simple enough. Why do you ask.

Mr "T", Why are you playing this game? Your daughter is a good player. I hope she likes Bayside. Afterall, this is a game our kids play. It's not supposed to be a game you play.

Mr."T" is not the disgruntled poster. Any gripes that he has had have gone directly to the top.

Every parent on the rays that might read these posts knows exactly who the disgruntled parent (parents) is (are).

Certainly, there is a disgruntled parent on here posting. However, assuming it is a certain individual is wrong. Yes, I do come here and read some of the posts occasionally but seldom do I post anything. Airing my feelings out on a forum about what I think of the team is unneccasary now and in the future. And to answer the question of me being disgruntled, dissapointed a little this year maybe, but not disgruntled.

In looking for a U12 girls team I noticed that Bayside has a tryout listed for a maple division 1 team. There was no listing for that team in U11 this pass spring. Does anyone know if this is a new team or did they play elsewhere before? Also I thought that fall placement was based on spring play for this age group.

The bayside U12 team is the former Explosion u11 team Coach took the whole team and went to Bayside.

Sounds like a good model for developing a club. What happens if they get relegated, do they get kicked out of the club, and replaced by a team from another club? Better yet, Bayside should hold a tournament/tryout. The winning teams get to join the club each year

Girls Premier Club Soccer in RI

I find it interesting in reading these posts that there is no mention of the NE Wave. The Wave just completed its 2nd year and is founded by the dean of NCAA women's soccer coachhes, Brown's Phil Pincince. MY daughter has been playing for the Wave for 2 years and I can tell you the coaching has been phenomenal.

And an fyi regarding the debate over RI State Cups - the RI State Cup has been devalued tremendously by the brain-dead, "support-the-mediocre" members of Soccer-RI when in March they passed rules limiting releases to non-SRI clubs AND blocking non-SRI clubs from participating in RI State Cup play even when such clubs have more than 50% of its players from RI.

From now on, call it the RI Fake Cup.

So I take it you would recommend the club? Why was the coaching so phenomenal? Aside from the fact that the head coach is a college coach. Please elaborate.

Phil himself didn't coach my daughter's team, his Brown assistant Dennis did. My daughter learned tons from Denis, her level of play improved signifcantly over the past 2 years. Her confidence on the field also grew. He had a great way with the girls and was passionate without being overbearing.

Based on my conversations with other parents of other NE Wave teams, they experienced the same thing. The teams are very competitive - I'd put them a notch below the Rays in terms of on-the-field performance. I can tell you in U12 pool play, the Wave gave all the Rays they could handle before losing on a late, late goal, 1-0. Unfortunately, the Wave is barred from further RI State Cup play in 2011 due to the rules-happy SRI board.

Hey, for my daughter it's a good fit. And in youth travel sports today, you can't ask for much more.

Ok, I was at that same U12 pool game you talk about. When you know you have no chance of playing with a team, you play 9 back in the box and pray for a counter-attack goal. It almost worked, even though the Rays dominated and outplayed Wave on both sides of the ball. When they met again at finals, the Wave tried the same 9 players in the box strategy, except that time it didn't quite work as well (4-0 I believe the score was). Once they gave up the first goal they were forced to play and the Rays picked them apart, dominated possession and outclassed them. I will say that Wave played a better game than BW. We played them with our defenders up top and our forwards on defense and picked them apart way too easily for a team "competing" for state cup.

One more thing, after the SC Final, that wonderful coach for Wave you talk about thought it was a classy idea to tell the team that just beat him 4-0 that they need to finish their opportunities and score when they get the chance (as he was looking directly at the Rays Coaches). I think a simple applause and "job well done" would have been more appropriate. Great turnout at try-outs btw this week and last, not sure about the rest of the club all that much, but next year's U-13 Rays team will be tough for any other RI team to deal with, as usual.
