Right. I have no idea where the players they had came from specifically, but as good a tourney as Jeff Cup is, it’s almost entirely East Coast and some Midwest. Even East Coast the presence is fairly minimal north of NJ.

There’s virtually nobody from CA, TX and other spots.

Which makes a lot of sense because the team in question is 2015! Flying around the country at 2015 for soccer is insanity.

worried about what other do with their money & time is one of your many problems in life. Blame your boss for not paying you more & giving you more time off work

ok, SYC mom

ok, Arlington dad. Your wife is begging you to get off the forum & take her on a meaningful date.

Also wants you to stop screaming at little Cindy on the ride home after she doesn’t score a hat trick & get the super team invite.

The doctor also wants you to come in for your biweekly checkup. U10 soccer has your blood boiling & worried about what other do with their time & money. Loser

Everyone knows SYC parents are the cray ones, honey. SYC are the ones flying around the country at U10 (supercopa anyone)? Why you flying around the country at U10 only to get humbled at U13? Slow clap.

SYCs U10s are #1 in the state. Jealous much?

Not even from NoVa and I'm really jealous. Loved some of your obnoxious parents at older AGs though.

Whatever happened to the Samba Boyz? Oh right... Quicker falloff than the girls at the same age year.

If this isn’t a troll, I’m here for this.

Jeff Cup has named co-champions due to girls finals being canceled last weekend because of the weather instead of single champions based on points. I respect that decision. Unclear who real winner would be without the final game.

Here I was angry about clubs/teams claiming they "won" Jeff Cup without actually playing in the finals. I guess they were technically correct, but the worst kind of correct especially with some of the unbalanced brackets.

Does it really matter either way?

Nope, but it really pisses me of seeing people claiming they "won" when they didn't actually "win" anything. You won some games in an effort to play in a championship that didn't actually happen.

Depending on brackets/flights that's a huge difference

All over the country? for a tournament in Richmond?? LOL come on. You can't seriously believe that. Maybe all over the Mid Atlantic like every other team in the tournament but not the country. I am sure the can play in a tournament in Cali, AZ or TX before coming to Richmond.

I was doubtful of this myself, so I took 20 minutes to figure out where these Ballers Elite kids were from. Looks like 6 are from California, one is from Texas, one is from Utah, one is from Kansas, one is from Ohio, and one is from NJ. There is at least one kid on the roster from Florida who wasn't there. From what I could tell, there may be only two who play on the same California club. Everyone else seems to be on different teams, mostly 2014G and even 2014B but also 2015G for a couple CA kids. This was all pretty easy to find because they are all heavily promoted on instagram by mom, dad, whoever. Having older ECNL kids, I have to say I don't think I've seen this kind of thing allowed at Jeff Cup before but I could be wrong. I am not sure how being in that flight benefited them at all, but it is clearly getting them attention! So maybe that was the point.

What's crazier, a super team or a grown adult stalking kid on the internet to see what club they came from, do they train together, etc....

Couldn’t agree more. A bunch of adults picking on little kids and their Instagram accounts. It not like these same hypocrites don’t post selfies all over FB of their vacations, purchase, or whatever else they want to show off.

The irony of all this is that some of the same kids in the Ballers squad have guest played for clubs in this area in other local tournaments. Local clubs guested players from out of state last weekend for Jeff Cup. Where’s the outcry against this behavior. Yet everyone is all upset when someone else does it. Be upset with the tournament organizers. Picking on these kids is ridiculous.

I'm not mad at the kids whatsoever. They're awesome! It's the parents/organization ruining everything. Jeff Cup also needs to step up and actually enforce their "guest player" rules or you know not allow a completely made up club to enter against other actual teams.

Ballers couldn't even fake a crest on GotSoccer to appear legit.

Well I guess we have a different mindset. My d's team was slated to play in the finals and I wouldn't tell her she "won" anything. She had a great time, won 3 games, but didn't actually win her flight until that final is played.

You’re not wrong and have some valid points, but it’s still very different than when an entire super team is created and has no regular presence in any league etc. There is supposed to be a maximum amount of guest players. But I think they’re getting around it because none of them are technically guesting. The regular roster doesn’t exist. It’s made for the tourney.

Nothing against the kids and it is what it is. But doesn’t seem in the spirit of what a u10 tourney should be for teams who play together all year as a team and look forward to Jeff Cup. Or a great reflection on the state of youth soccer. Just my two cents.
