U12G State Cup

[Unregistered]

Ron has been to state cup....Paul didnt know team, but he put together a losing strategy?

the strategy was to place in each position, the best player for that position, not the best athletes on the field. (does that make sense ?)

So if you have a player that only plays say left mid, but is a 2nd stringer, they got to start and play most of the game. Then the player that plays both left and center, but primarily center, along with another player that plays only center, that dual roll player was on the bench, even if she was the better "overall" skilled athlete.

Then when the team seemed out of wind, substitute every player from the bench at the same time in hopes of putting all the fresh legs you could on the field all at once. By doing so, you were replacing strong players (that werent tired) with other strong players from the bench and weaker players for stronger players.

It didnt work and he went back to what worked. Ive never doubted Ron and wont. It isnt in him to throw a game at any cost. it was a plan that sounded logical and might work in older age teams or teams with every player being multi-talented and equally skilled, it didnt work for Crush.

did I explain that in a way that you understand it ?

Ah, no...this is incoherent... He did this twice? and talked to you about it? I think this tops the all time weirdest posts. (It is a very complex way of losing and not just giving some credit to the other team.)

Quotes

Quote:
2 turf fields and a professionally prepared city park is crappy ? you must live in Lake Oswego and are still bent from loosing to Crush in the finals.

Then why is it SS teams are continually showing up in Tualatin to practice? By the way, “loosing” is spelled “Losing” LO may have lost but their schools at least teach proper English.

Quote:
It only takes one coach at a time. having a slew of over paid "know it all's" does not make you a wining program.

Basically admitting SS does not have enough quality Coaches…WOW!!!

Quote:
Crush team is made up of 3 girls from Tualatin, 3 from Sherwood, 2 from Canby, 1 from Aloha and the rest from the Tigard area. That seems like a lot of "out of towners" (9 of 16) to me for not having much of a geographical pull.

The meaning of SS does not have the area to themselves is saying that they are not getting all of the best players from these areas anymore. Which would make them a lot stronger of a Club. Can’t spell or comprehend English when reading it.

Quote:
The others dropped along the way after the 1st & 2nd cuts. They were not asked to leave, they left for various reason.

Just say it…they did not have the skill set to make it!!

Quote:
their fees are just $100 more than WSM. I blew that on drinks tonite. Quit crying.

Number one, how would anyone know as SS does not publish their fees…hmmmm. The parents that I know from SS say the initial cost is $1700. That is $600 more than WSM which posts their fees.
Number two, $100 is lot of Hamm’s beer.

Quote:
(Concerning the fact that SS has no college placement program) Good for them. That is why ODP is important

Hmmm again…ODP is Coached by those over priced know it all’s you mentioned earlier. DOH!!

I know there are a few people posting here...I just want to make sure it is clear. You are saying that Ron, the coach of Crush,after being undefeated all fall and all spring asked for advice from the SS Doc (Slover) for the 3rd and 4th game of pool play in State Cup. And these were the instructions?

I knew it would be too much for someone to understand. You weren't there, you dont know how it went down and didnt witness the changes that took place that caused the upset in the balance on the field.

Think what you want, but face facts, your player was on a team that got beat by Crush and it's all over know. Get your kid some training, get em on a team that has a chance of winning and hope that this year will be better and above everything else quit complaining and blaming others for your losses.

how would anyone know as SS does not publish their fees

I know it must be hard for you to type with both thumbs in your ears waving your fingers and sticking your tongue out...........or...............maybe really understand how the internet works, but here is the link that I found on Southside's website of their fees. Im not a rocket scientist, but if my 12 year old can find it, Im sure yours can too. Next time just ask them before you spew such rhetoric.

http://www.southsidesoccer.org/docs/...sic%20Fees.pdf

Here is the link to Tualatin's fees http://www.tualatinsoccer.com/doclib...20for%20TM.pdf

Here is Lake Oswego's fees .........wait, I couldnt find one (and neither could my kids). Can you point us in the right direction ?? Do you have it bookmarked on your browser ?

THUSC fees :$1225 payment in full, $1275 (payment plan$255/per month), $1325, if paid after june 1st ($50 late fee)

Westside Metros........same as Tualatin Metros (duh)

Eastside fees: couldnt find it...finally gave up, the cosmic sounds were driving me crazy.

OSA: Bernies done a good job on his site....hide all the costs to participate so you cant compare.

Then why is it SS teams are continually showing up in Tualatin to practice?

Is Tualatin a protected wetlands or something ?

Do they not allow soccer practice there ?

These questions are as dumb sounding as yours.

Southside Soccer Club represents players and families that live in the Tigard/Tualatin school district. Their recreation teams are formed around the grade school boundary in which you live in. If teams are practicing in Tualatin, more than likely it's because the players on that team live nearby and/or so does the coach.

Tualatin has approx 750 players participating in their programs each year. Southside has approx 2000. There are only so many fields to play/practice on, and during the winter months those fields get used (and abused) pretty quickly. Southside has winter classic teams, Tualatin does not.

The fields in Tualatin belong to the either the school district or city parks department and are open to reserve by anyone (including you) and that includes the high school turf field.

Does that help you understand better ?

Why is anyone having to justify how or why Southside got scored on or tied or lost a game? Who cares? All teams win and all teams lose, it's called sports. I hope you people feel like idiots because when you come on this thread to bash other U12 teams or bash the U12 teams your Crush team has beat, you look like an idiot. Did you read it correct?

Reminder = these are 12 year old girls and you are adults. Get a life and let the girls enjoy their soccer years.

Crush finished the season 8/0/0, 24 Goals For, 3 Goals against.
Rage finished the season 5/2/1, 13 Goals For, 5 goals against.

You forgot thusc. Maybe that was on purpose though.

Iridium finished spring season 7 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie, 22 goals for, 3 against.
State Cup: 5-0 in bracket play, 24 goals for, 0 against.

where are they ? too good to show up ?

They obviously dont belong to any of the top 8 U12 teams as their best did. And if they dont, then they must really stick out like a sore thumb with all their greatness spewing all over the field playing in the silver brackets or presidents cup.

By younger girls, I meant they were too young to show up so they really had no choice. But no most of the girls from our U12 team didn't show up because they decided to wait to try out for their age group this coming season, '98. We did have 5-6 U13 girls make the pool and I believe 4 made State pool.

Wow

Reading this stuff about 11 year old girls soccer is amazing. Make you wonder if this is the first exposure to competitive soccer for parents. It is one thing to root for your kids but it dangerousely psychotic to get so consumed in 11 year old soccer. Makes me wonder if your child is the one that really wants to play or is it the adult how wants to live it through their child. I have seen many games at this age group. My opinion the best teams are LO & WSM based on their technical abilities and of the brand of soccer these teams play. As these girls grow older and physical abilities start to equalize the ones with the techinical abilities will shine. *

I agree. LO is a better team than Crush although the final results didn't show it this year. LO, much like FC, develop teams at the younger ages. When they get to high school, then they will start winning big games. I watched LO vs. Crush ( i have no kids on either team or either club). I felt that LO played much better soccer.........using technical skill and had much better passing game. Crush will not continue to win games since they do not focus on skills and overall team development.

I also agree that these kids are 11. They will change a lot in the coming years. Clubs and teams that chose to develop and build skills at the younger ages, will dominate at the older ages. Just look at FC and LO. They have been solid and strong for years.
