If you watch the team close there are only 2 or 3 girls that can win 1v1 . Rest pass it up quick.

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.

Agree, good post.

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.

You better hope the coaches move this team to a larger club in the next couple of years, or the better players will leave for clubs that can offer more big tourney opportunities. It is very rare that the best teams at early ages stay together. Been there, done that. Onyx is the only team I've seen that has been dominant since the get go, and they belong to one of the strongest girls clubs.

At the younger ages the only thing you should be worrying about is your DD's skill development, not wins and losses. Possession at early ages is counterproductive to 1 v 1 player development.

Guess players should never pass then and the goalie should just roll the ball out to themself and take everyone on. Get real. Btw most everyone of these girls could take most girls on at age 1v1.

This team reminds me of the 01B Fireballs. They were a great team with a good coach, but finally assimilated into Eastside. It happens.

Don't think so. Something else to watch when you see this team.

Resistance is futile. You will become part of the collective.

I did not see any teams in NWCL trying to just win 1v1 and if your team is the one Im thinking of yours definitely didn't. It was more playing the ball behind the defense and let one girl run on to it. That is, when a player actually had possesion and attempted to do something with the ball with reason.

Its clear, you are trying to say whatever it is you have to to keep your players from jumping ship. I don't blame you for that, just dont bash others in the process or you look desperate and lack class.

True and it's only when the girls are much older the parents will see.

I guess the teams that are focusing on individual ball skills are all wrong.

Never understood this statement!! It's not always the club. Granted Timbers get all of their crappy teams into NWCL somehow. But a good team, regardless of club, will get invited to the top tournaments.

If you don't understand then you must not have any older kids who play in college.

LOL--I forgot about the dangling carrot. Again good teams will get invited to good tournaments and have the option to join high profile tournaments with your college recruiters. Your club must love you. We found another one who believes everything we tell them.

Here it goes again - someone posts something silly, everyone believes it is a parent on this team, then the haters let their mouths run again. Let's bash the parents! Yeah, let's bash the coaches too! Oh, let's bash the girls! Pretty sure they all suck!

Every parent on that team understands that this is a fun run and won't last forever. Every parent on that team knows their kid may not be playing 2 years from now because they like band better. AND every parent on that team understands - because it was told to them by the coaches - that there will be opportunities for those who want to take it outside of this club.

Right now, they are developing and having fun at the same time. Have a couple of strong seasons and everyone immediately jumps on the hate train. All of those girls are good kids and work extremely hard. Give them some credit for bringing a little bit of success to a small club. It is pretty cool when you can be the first girls team in a club to win a Champions League match.
