considering that the top team in New England is only #22 in the region, I'd say it is not likely that a RI team would be in the top 5. But I'd take # 1 in RI over #2 in RI. LOLOL -

Girls > U13 Rays
Having had first hand knowledge and experience with this club, and it being my first venture into RI Premier soccer I can only say this:Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
" It is too bad that such an amazing group of girls are under the control of such a poor, ‘socially inept’ and unskilled coach. This really good team could be a really great team if they had a decent coach! I am disappointed in The Rhode Island Rays for allowing this man to be in such a position of control over my young daughter." ~ Crazy, Lunatic Parent?? (Maybe not so crazy after all...) -

Seriously PM...I can't even beleive you are still going on about this.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
You are the one that ruined your daughter's season... you didn't go to practice and missed games and tournaments for her CYO Basketball career. You were never committed and maybe that's because it was your first year in premiere soccer so you really didn't know what you were getting yourself into.
But to do all of that and then complain when she doesn't get playing time?? Really?? when there are other team members who didn't miss practices, games or tournaments and who play soccer as their #1 sport and only sport?
Come one anyone will tell you that no matter what "playing time" is not a given right on any premiere team.Comment

Come one anyone will tell you that no matter what "playing time" is not a given right on any premiere team.
At the U16 and below level, any premier team selling "player development" should have some minimum playing time, except for violations of team rules or other extenuating reasons (health, safety), guaranteed -- if the kid is not good enough to put out there for at least a short period, then do not take the player for that team. If having commitment to other activities is so bothersome, don't take the player.
Training progression goes up to "match-like" -- The objective of the training session is to prepare players for competition. If you are not going to put kids in competition, then training is a waste of the time and money involved. The no playing time guaranteed philosophy is for school teams, where the wins and losses impact the coaches' job, and frankly, where there is little time (at least at JV/Var level) to work on player development.
But playing other sports is not mutually exclusive with developing as a soccer player -- look at some of the bios of the players on the USWNT - Becky Sauerbrunn was all state in basketball, Hope Solo played basketball in college (didn't even play GK in HS or on her club team), etc.Comment

Who's the coach?
I think this is primarily a coach factor. IT all depends on it. Do or die!Comment

U16 is not about development. At U16 it's about winning. It is what it is at that age. So, don't let any coaches tell you differently.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How was the TW trip to Denmark? Home yet?Comment

From pics I have seen looks like they are having a great time. Finished first in their bracket 11 goals for one against. Made it to next round and won one zip this morning to make the sweet sixteen. Another game tonight. Glad to see you are still obsessing over them bruno dad!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I wasn't the one that mentioned it but since you brought me into it here goes: Went on the Dana Cup web site. The U16 group they are playing in states that it's for players born after 1-1-95 pretty sure that means TW should be playing in the U17 group over there. Maple is 8-1-94 thru 7-31-95. Which means TW has players over the age limit for the U16 at Dana Cup. Hey, they found the net somewhere since they can't here in wonderful America.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Among the players on the list must be 3 players who are 1 year old (in 7-man classes 1 player).
In the 11-man classes must in a struggle participate up to 16 of the players suffered participant list.
In the 7-side classes, all the players on the team list to participate in a match. Age Requirements, etc. There is, as mentioned automatic exemption to apply the team list 3 players who are 1 year of old (in 7-man classes 1 player).
That means each team is allowed 3 players born in 94 which is what they have. The rest are 95's with 2 96's!Comment
