FCP plays to win, their role players don't have much skill but they can take orders. TS plays to win (sometimes quite dirty in the process) and certainly with the most bootball. Eastside makes the most of what they have but only gets results when other teams are working on formations and player adjustments but they are decent competition. TT has technical ability but not the killer instinct...or perhaps they found it recently given their showings against FCP. THUSC and WashT are 6 strong and they fight like hell but don't have the horses. - Thank you for asking my opinion, I believe TS will repeat as State Champions and they'll have 5 yellow cards along the way.

The only way to compare the teams is with analytics. Any coach can say that they teach possession and that their team dominated. Without the analytics to back it up, it is nothing but hot air.

This might be the most unbiased, and accurate, reply in this thread.

In pro soccer, analytics are collected by an array of cameras stationed over the pitch, feeding banks of computers, engaging in all sorts of fancy image-processing and backend statistical analysis.

NOBODY does this sh1t for youth soccer. About the only stats that are reliably kept are the match scores and the disciplinary record.

Thus, it becomes subjective. When my team's centerback launches the ball upfield from the 18-yd box to nobody in particular, it's a defensive clearance. When your team's centerback does the same thing, it's bootball. (And even in U11, I've seen quite a few teams that are rather proficient with long passes over the top, managing to reliably deliver such balls to speedy wings who manage to stay onside, creating scoring chances--and a few other teams that keep passing goal kicks to the other side's forwards, making no attempt to beat such pressure the obvious way...)

Don't bother, you need to be invited.

My point exactly. You can say you are a possession team all you want, and even convince parents that you are.

It is a type of motorcycle race "Tourist Trophy." See for example the Isle of Man TT.

Here is a video. It makes girls soccer seem slow by comparison.

My DD is on one of these teams. I concur.
Waiting for the "caveman" throwing troll to ruin the whole thing.

As is mine, which is why I know it's absolutely accurate.
