What happened to all of the competitive teams at pacific fc? They had some real talented girls teams at the younger ages now I see no top level teams at all. Are they focusing on the rec side and not the advanced?

They have a nice niche, provide a quality environment for kids that are slightly better and want more than Rec soccer. They do a great job and have a working relationship with Vantucky Timbers.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
And their teams are about on the same level as WashT so it's all good.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

So pacific is sending their top talent to bigger clubs that have the resources and capabilities to help these types of players grow? Good for them.Comment

Then why send them to Vantucky Timbers? Seems a step backwards...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Definitely not a step backwards from Pacific. That club has dropped off a cliff. No teams, no leadership, no future.Comment

First off they aren't sending players to WT.FC, those players and teams are going because they realize they aren't going to get the support at pacific. Thats not a bad thing, its not the niche that Pacific originally was going for. And the reason you are only seeing that movement the last year or two is because of the changes made at WT.FC are actually working and others in the area are seeing that.
The other big issue they have is they gave some teams the option to stay together when the age group changes happened. Thats a huge mistake if you want competitive teams. It means for example at the 03 age group you have a team full of both 04's and 03's rather than all 03's. Thats fine if you just want to let kids stay with their friends or their favorite coaches, but as far as staying at the top of the development, its not a good move for the kids.Comment

It would seem so for people stuck in the '80's and '90'sOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It's been what, a few weeks, since the toothless wonders up north got their internet working in the mobile home park and started a good bash fest between the clubs. Always entertaining. It's kind of like MMA having a division for midgets.Comment

Yes it's volunteers. But the club still grew. Why is it they are making these strong teams at the younger ages in the first place?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Their only mistake is letting the whole team transfer over to WT. Only 5-6 players are premier, so after one year, those bottom 5-6 realize their mistake and come back.
WT needs to stop accepting the whole teams, and have real try-outs. And maybe spend some time developing their own youth players.Comment
