U 10? Just enjoy it while you can. You have plenty of years to be obsessed but only a few to appreciate your CHILD being a CHILD.Comment

Good job Buzzkill
That is a response only Dr. Phil would love. Cmon - this is competitive soccer. Or did you forget that these kids are in a year round program?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not, that I disagree. But spewing venom and hate over 12 year old soccer isn't much better.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This just exemplifies how stupid it all is. Some parent is enjoying their kids experience and wants to talk about it. But they're an idiot. So here's an article to prove it. But if only 11 play out of 50 states, does it matter? I mean seriously. We play 11 at U11. Is it in the kids best interest? No, but the arrogant doc's can make more money. It's all a joke.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I can't remember if they keep score at this age. Does Westside have a good team? How about Lake Oswego? I would guess that a lot of the kids that are serious will start gravitating to the Timbers' teams.Comment

That's a pretty much meaningless article. No DUH that youth soccer is dominated by boot-ball. That's what Westside U13 and below and rec coaches teach so that their teams win games. It will continue unless the value to those types of coaches is taken away.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Easily done by implementing a rule that specifies a violation if a boot-ball occurs. Define boot ball as something like the defender kicking the ball that plays in the air ahead of the last opposing defender or something more precise. Until then, this is all touchy-feely talk.Comment

Maybe our kids should just play futsal. The concern of too many players is eliminated, DOCs won't make as much money and will have to change.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

FYI. What you get at U10 does not matter one bit as probably 30% of the kids quit classic soccer by U15. Then the rest gravitate to two or three good teams by U16. Some of the best teams fall apart completely and do not exist.Comment

I don't know if it is their first child! It usually takes at least a year to find this forum!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
