end of the year comic relief

The team that you are referring too is very good . The parents should be very proud of these girls. They are technical , agile and very aggressive. They have beaten a bunch of club teams in maple and local tournaments at the premier level.
They will give any girls club team in the state a game and you could very well hear about them being the u12 RI champs in a few years . They are better than the Cumberland Team that went to regionals.

Please tell me we are not talking about U10 girls here?? You people are nuts if you think you know what kids that age will be doing in a couple of years. Btw. The team that went to regionals was not very good. They were only RI a Town team good.

The team that went to regionals were not as good as this u10 team . They have better coaching. The coach has a b license and played on man u youth academy. The U10 team has talent. I have been around youth soccer for 20 years and I can tell you that if these girls stick together they will beat any bayside team at their age. Bayside will be loosing girls to nefc, stars etc. The club parents always want something better than what they have. Really looking forward to the next couple of years

Yeah, yeah, yeah, beenhearing that story for years. "These girls are tight" "they're gonna stay together". Yes Bayside loses kids to Mass clubs. But your team will lose kids to bayside. Come back on here in May 2017 and tell us if they won state cup, ok buddy?

Here's the problem as I see it, and I too have been around soccer forever in RI. You're playing 6v6 now at u10 (maybe 8v8) and you are carrying a roster for that. As hard as it may be for you to realize this right now, no matter how good you think your town team is, and they may be great, I don't know, it will be close to impossible for you to recruit the players you'll need to grow your roster to be competitive at 11v11. Kids from other towns just won't go play for another town team if they are elite type players. They will migrate to clubs that the infrastructure to attract top talent. The clubs that have college coaches, the ins to all the big tourneys, etc... Just enjoy what you have and cherish it while it lasts. You're lucky to have what you have right now.

With the community rule (is that still in place?) for town associations, those comments are pretty much on the mark. Add that the push for middle school soccer will start to weed out some players and reinforce to some parents that Susie or Johnny does need to "move on" because greatness awaits and the local club will only hold them back from the all-state status in HS.. Add the fact that a chunk of private schools compete in RIIL and pull away (ahem, recruit) good players so you lose even more of that potential "local school team" loyalty pull..

Then add that as nice as u10 is because (most) coaches get it and everyone plays somewhat equally, once they hit 8 v 8 and Susie or Johnny does not get equal playing time, it's the better to be the A player on a B team than the B player on the A team effect.

Then add when they hit u14 and HS that "wow, there's a lot of other things I want to do and so now some of those still very good players that are on the town team still like soccer, just don't want to commit as much as Susie or Johnny (or their parents) do

Hate to be a downer, but the system SRI created was meant to promote premier, not higher level (older) town programs...how many do you see doing well enough to compete in state cup or a premier league after u12 (even with the community rule going away at u14)? South County had a team or two that got to u14 I think, you see Smithfield Strikers as an attempt to bridge this gap (but even then it had to become a premier program), Portsmouth, Ocean State, Cumberland, Lincoln..probably leaving out a few others..they don't sustain for those reasons cited above (and others)..

Bayside will be losing some key girls players to NEFC next year. better players are realizing NEFC is the better choice long term, better coaching and opportunities for growth.

NEFC local yokel team or NEFC Elite team?

That "local yokel" team is producing some pretty strong teams. The GU14's beats the Premier team regularly and beat the Elite team in the NEFC Jamboree. My daughter plays for a different "local yokel" team, but some of these are much stronger than many Bayside folks want to admit.

Ok and we believe you. Your daughters U14 team will have the chance to play Bayside this spring in state cup. Until then do yorself, your daughter and her team a favor and stay off this site. It's January you loser get a life see you in May.

Apparently you have reading comprehension problems. My kid is not on that team. But I've seen them play a lot. I've never put down a Bayside team, but all the digs on the regional NEFC teams may come back to haunt you someday. Just saying.

You must have missed the sarcasm. Your obviously a dad of a player on the 14s pretending to be someone else. So you just casually stroll youth soccer boards defending teams in your daughters club? Like I said ok I believe you.

And as far as the regional scam NEFC and every other club do it, Bayside included. Lets make a few teams in the same age group. Great idea now lets combine the top players make them travel to Marlborough and leave the rest of the teams wondering what happen to the top 2% of the players on the team. Hence the word scam!

You definitely posted on the right thread. This is comical!!! For the past few years we heard this same crap coming from NEFC south coast parents. How great their teams were and how they would beat Bayside. And on just about every occasion in multiple age groups. The results spoke for themselves. Bayside won just about every matchup. We never really heard much from Blackwatch as far as boasting or claiming superiority. So all this talk is obviously coming from an NEFC south coast transfer. Or it could possibly be Martin himself. The only team that most likely has improved since the merger is Martins U14 team. But Bayside has also added more depth to an already good team at this age group. Until they actually play each other we won't know. Time will tell

You are completely wrong on who you think I am, but I agree with your last 3 sentences.

Aren't you on this site too? And you're calling someone a loser for being on it? Typical Bayside again. Can't wait to see that GU14 team play the Bayside team.
