They played under Pacific Reign in 2012. Also had Breakers team. This is third year together.

Half of the team was part of a 40 girl academy at U9. Officially formed team last year.

Again, that was 8v8 and only about half of the current players. Most got rotated academy style. The team was not formed via tryouts until last spring, so basically 1.5 years together.

The roster did not switch much and you can get that info too. Team been together 3 years already. I think how well people say this team plays would indicate it has been longer then last year. Nothing to hide from. It will help explain why other U11 teams in this area are not as advanced. Especially for the parents of other teams on sidelines watching. It gives other players an idea if you work hard where they might be in a few years so consider it being a good role model and not a negative.

That is fine and dandy, and no one is hiding, let's just do the math correctly...

Acadamy formed in spring of 2012 - 40 girls. Pacific FC enters teams of selected girls in tournaments the summer of 2012.

2012 + x = 2014

x = 2

This team, not all, has played together for 2 years. This may be the 3rd summer together for a few of them, but not 3 years.

Sorry mistake going into third summer with girls. I noted you have played over 62 games in 2 years so that is something too from your website results? Most U11 don't have that many games. This does not count the 2012 summer games. Again not a negative unless you look at it that way. It's more to educate the other U11 teams around this area why this team is so advanced. Maybe it will take the sting out of it for those other teams that have to play against this team in league this fall. Also gives those players idea if work hard where they might go after 3 summers together.

I understand that and personally agree. What doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the argument is just how good this team was with 0 playing time together. They were dominant right from the start, summer #1, and after a half dozen new players were added via tryouts in the first official year they were even better. That has to say good things for the coaches - whether you call it recruiting or development, something worked.

I guess my point, after beating this dead horse, is: You have to have talent on your squad. That is where big clubs will catch up with recruiting and player pools.

YES! Tell them brother. Don't run and hide. Come out of your hiding place Revolution!

Dude, they are 10 year old little girls. Tone it down a little bit. How'd you like someone calling out your 8 year old?

Yeah but highly talented and athletic 10 year olds. Play a higher quality of pure possession soccer that most U14 teams. If you understood European soccer training standards you would understand.

The coaches have some very special things planned for this squad. They will be revealed when the coaches feel the time is right.

Wow, have you been reading any of he other threads on here? Don't get it. Previous poster was correct saying the bigger clubs will catch up through player pools and club recruiting. You sound like this is only group of girls who can learn to play possession soccer. Bad thing for your girls is pressure is on this team to stay number 1 for years. Girls got some long car rides home to come. Home their hearing doesn't get to damaged.

This team plays just like other top U11 teams this year, last year, 5 years ago. Nothing special.

1. If my 10 year old kid was told to play possession soccer I would literally call into question the coaches understanding of developmental components for kids that age. You won't even find European clubs Ajax etc who support teaching that kind of game prior to u12.

But if you understood anything about developing players vs trying to make it look like end result, you would understand. Don't question me, question ussf, Nscaa, Ajax curriculum. All of which stress developing individual components at this age.

2. Your coaches will be outgrown by these players by next year if not already. Judging by what is being wrote on here by parents and probably the coaches, you will soon realize they need someone who knows what they are doing.

It's just time on the ball. They've had it a little longer and at this age it shows up more. Give it a year or so and watch what happens.

Coaches will be questioned on their lack of understanding. Parents won't like that they aren't winning. 1-2 move to a better coach and or club and no one will talk about this team.

Pacific who?

Please, what is all the fuss over one team. Great, you won a few games and a couple tournaments, congrats.

My experience with this club was a game a couple of years ago, typical girls team from a rural area, limited skill, booted everything long, parents cheered for big hits and fouls. When we wore them down and were up 4 or 5 nil, coach blows a gasket and gets a red card. The game was delayed as he wouldn't leave the field until he was done yelling at the ref. No assistant, so a parent had to finish coaching the rest of the game. Classy.

Guess things have changed over there and it's now Barcelona on the Lewis River.

Possession at u10 9v9 vs comparing to u14s 11v11?????

You pacific coaches and parents are one dillusional bunch. Possession is a style of play that teaches players to have the little amount of time on the ball as possible........

Sounds like a great thing to teach kids who don't even know how to use their left foot or even dribble properly.....

I'm going to be that there are at least 7-8 players on that team who rely on 2-3 others the entire time.

If your coach really wants to stand behind his development. Ask him to not pigeon hold players in one position and see if they are capable technically of playing another.........oh that's right, you don't care about development, just winning as if that will matter next year and onwards.
