Girls 02 Rankings

Agree & understand. My question is why don't those play ups also play back on age with the 2003s in the games that don't overlap? That's what our club does. Helps the players and both sister teams.

For that matter, why not have Copa players play for Samba on days they aren't busy with Copa games.

Players need rest; it's disruptive to the other team (especially if the subbing first-team player gets all the PT and the second-team kids get to ride pine), and just perhaps--maybe the coaches are actually a bit serious when they claim they are focusing on development and not just wins? Generally, guest-playing during league games is best limited to a) not enough players otherwise, or b) needing to replace a keeper who can't play, for whatever reason, and who has no adequate backup.

If Copa TS '02's girls were routinely making guest appearances for '03, the usual suspects would complain loudly, I bet.

I know little about the makeup of 02 Copa TS, but Westside has ALWAYS been aggressive about playing kids up, especially if a kid is more physically advanced than his/her peers. (It's also likely that many 02 teams playing in fall need 03 players to fill out a roster if the freshmen aren't available due to HS soccer).

TS 02 is a closed roster.

Our club & many others do just that for the wins. Nice to hear Westside is only in it for development.

If the six '03 girls playing in the U15 TS team played on age it might make for a more interesting U14 league.

Are they afraid they'd lose to Tiki & even 2nd place Eugene?

Maybe GPS, not Eugene.

West sides copa ts would beat gps (dumb idea) hands down. They did the year before and with all their players on age they would beat all the 03 teMs

Looks like the 03 Copa team is doing terribly.. only won 2 out of 10 games. My money would be on HPS for that game.

GPS-not HPS.

Tiki Taka also beat Copa TS last year in the playoffs. Most of TT girls were 03s, not sure what % TS team were last year. U14G Copa TS would clearly be doing better if their 03's weren't playing up.

How many of their 03s are playing up? And why? The 02 Fall league is a little weak and hodge lodge isn't it since most of the girls are in high school? Were they playing up in Fall to just to be able to have enough to make an 02 team?

6 and they have al been playing together for years.

GPS, Eugene & more would likely beat TS. TS has only won 2 games. Add the play ups and maybe they move up to 3rd or 4th. Some other teams from last year, like Eugene, got much stronger getting to play 2003 now.

2003 teams should stick with the 2003 thread. 2002 teams can remain on this thread. Nobody cares about the current 2002 teams right now because they're not doing anything. There's a reason OYSA said that our stats don't matter - the current teams aren't a true representation of what the TRUE club teams are like. The games were just for fun. Nobody cares - unless you're TS.

I think the 03 talk was germane to the conversation. You don't like the way this conversation is going? Too bad. Its TS. Don't be a thread bully. It doesn't work.
