In soccer you win championships if you score 1 more goal than your opponent. Think outside the American box |

Yes your strongest best players play the spine. Striker, center mid and center back. |

| a player who plays "defense" but does not contribute to the offense is a 1-dimensional player |

Correct. If you can’t pass then you have no business playing soccer. |

| Again a scrimmage among 12-13 year olds. Should have been 5-1 Arlington but I will leave it at that. |

Big players can be be fast and quick. Now if they have a high soccer iq and/or skill they are not playing center back at this age. Center back is for physical players and the skill part can be “developed” later or maybe never developed. |

Arlington has that rep. You need both athleticism and skill. Skilled players finish. Bad touch and bad technique = missed opportunities. |

Heading into the Spring season, here is where we currently sit. I also a including Jeff Cup Groups. I was able to find Arlington GA and include them. If you don't care about rankings, I know, I know, they are only 12 and 13 year olds, blah blah blah. Please spare us of your ridicule. Some parents like to see how teams stack up against each other. Just forgive us and move on.

You ever noticed how none of the older age groups, 05, 04, 03 and such never seem to have pages dedicated to comparing clubs and ranking teams? I wonder why that is? |

Because they did not have rankings like this so don’t really know what to look for. Sort of like telling your grandmother about a smart phone. |

Because 03s have pretty much already decided what Colleges they are going to and it doesn't matter. Pretty much same thing with 04s. Rankings do help place Showcase matchups however for those looking to impress D2/D3 schools. Parents/players are still paying attention to rankings in U16, as again, is important to draw better match ups in showcase events. Coaches want to see kids play against better competition. Obviously there will be people like you who downplay this. There is also a reason why you try to downplay rankings.... |

The top ECNL teams in group one and the crappy underperforming ECNL clubs in last tier. No surprise here. They themselves know it. |

Based upon the BSC parent(s), the 2008G team has talented Midfielders and D Backs. Sounds like they might need talented Strikers/Center Forwards. Hence, if your DD is a talented CF/Striker, BSC might be a good option. |
