Girls Spring Team Rankings

Heard last night at practice that 2 starting defenders from bruno girls U14s have left to join bayside.

I asked why and one of the Dad's told me that they were sick of losing all the time.

I can confirm that 1 Bruno girl is at my daughters practice and looks to be training with us.

I will say this, I know that the Lusitana girls U12 team is very, very good. Not saying that they will win the state cup, but they will definitely contend. I know some of the girls on that team. They can play.

Information

The point is that if you are going to do rankings it stands to reason
that current information about the teams you are ranking would be helpful.

[Unregistered]

My point was that many of the divisions you are ranking are now actually playing each other indoors and those results may conflict with some of your calculations.

I assume you wanted accurate results so this additional info could help with tweaking your lists. There are several divisions that play each other at WWIS and those results don't require calculations but are just facts.

I'm not trying to criticize just pointing out what the latest info is.

Bayside looks to be the top Club in RI and Im not shocked to see that the bigger question is what is going on with Bruno? How can they fall so far so fast? Did Noonan leaving have that much of a impact?

Why wouldn't the bayside U14s and U15s (the state championship team) play in subregional? Why allow the Rays to represent RI in the u13,14,and 15 age group rather than an up and coming program like bayside that wants to increase its prestige?

Bayside may have applied for subregional in the 14 and 15 age bracket. It would be helpful for them as a program to move out of Maple, especially D2 Maple, but this season will go a long way to demonstrating the strength of their teams vs the rays, which is really the only other serious contender for top girls program in ri.

Ok so I took a second look at the bracket and here is what I got.

Bayside was a clear #1 they just finished an ok season in the blue division (1st D) and were champions at Stars Cup they are also ranked 1st by got soccer.

Black Watch had a similar season in the green division (2nd D) below bayside they were also finalist at Nashua in the top division and they are ranked 2nd by got soccer.

Lusitana was in the lowest division (3rd D) of the 3 and had a very good year but were unable to promote themselves to that top tier. Their tournament history is not the greatest I know they won a tournament on the cape but they played 2 town teams.

So here is my problem with indoor all these teams play 11v11 on a 105yrd x 60yrd field then you stick them on a 70yrd x 30yrd field (at best) play 7v7 with no offside and people want to compare results. To me this isn’t a fear way to rank. No ranking site uses indoor as part of its criteria not saying I wouldn’t but Lusitana and BWP play again this week let’s see how that game goes and the playoffs. If Lusitana can beat them convincingly again and win the league then I think they play their way into the #2 spot. If you beat a team 3 times whether it is 7v7 or 11v11 you’re the better team 1 win in that setting is not enough for me. Ask JB if they are what you say they are it will show up in future rankings look at Boys RISC.

It's hard to calculate indoor results for a lot of reasons...some of which are explained above.

Another reason that indoor results don't necessarily equate to outdoor results is that many teams - Bayside, for example - split up their outdoor squads into 2 equal indoor teams. One of their indoor teams may not have a regular goalkeeper, some kids may be playing out of position, etc.

Plus, some premier clubs - like the NE Wave - don't even play indoors any more.

I enjoyed reading the pre-season rankings...thanks to whoever spent the time doing it, it was fun to read.....but please don't take them to heart. What happens on the field is what counts.

I totally agree with all of your points. They are not taken to heart and they were posted with the invitation to debate. I was just trying to invite interested parties to watch this division as it may get interesting. There was some good soccer played by many of these U12 girls at Christmas tournaments at WWIS and the Hab. All I'm saying is that I'm not totally sure these rankings are correct but we shall see. It will be fun to watch!

The U15 Ray's have beaten Bayside 9-10 games.

Did they even played 10 times you must be counting Indoor games against the U14 team during the Christmas tournament.
