Could it be that the position needed to be filled is not the primary position of the best player in their own age group? I.e, defensive vice offensive? Did i read this wrong? The previous 2 replies seem to talk out of an age group.

I'm not sure I understand your question. She is a very good 07. I haven't seen her look amazing, but maybe if she were playing against 07s she would. Against 04s and 05s she can't keep up. It's not her fault. It's a combination of size and speed. So I agree with the poster who suggested 06 might be a good fit. I don't know if she needs a "strong" 06 team or just an acceptable one. You don't have to be on the very best team in team in twin to develop.

The playups, with the exception of the 07, are not the best for THEIR own age group let alone the age group they are playing up with.

Agreed. At least some of that has been parent driven.

This is what Spirit MD, Richmond United, NC Courage, VDA, Penn Fusion, NC Fusion, etc have all done. They didn’t just start a club one day. It took planning and time with qualified people. Not people looking to attach themselves to a “pro” team.

This comment makes no sense. Coaches at Spirit VA came from other clubs like McLean, FCV, etc.

As a Spirit parent, I'd argue that the one thing Spirit DOES have is the coaching. I have issues with the bloated rosters, choices for where and when players play, inconsistent talent, etc., but I can see that DDs team is considerably better now (despite these issues) and is playing tighter games, etc., than they were in the fall and last year. That means only one thing -- coaches are doing the best they can with what they currently have to work with. I do agree with PPs that 3-4 players (less in a couple age groups) could be the difference in one and two goal differential games. We are not seeing the blowouts we saw last year....

One talented player can close a 1-2 goal gap. 3-4 can change the soul of a team.

Yes, not on your “play-up” obsession bandwagon. Sorry, lady.

Nothing but a recruitment line. But good luck finding the players that are going to change the soul of the team

Of course, all women here. It makes even people on your side not want to be.

Facts, not recruitment, you crazy woman. Go back to your Barca Academy thread.

1-2 players can change a team, whether that is players joining a team or leaving it. 3-4 can take a team a level up in joining it and a level down in leaving it. I've seen it time and again.

It’s not sexist, you really need a chill pill. Wish you had the background but you obviously don’t.

Whoever you are, find this "lady" in person. These "I know who you are" posts make you sound crazy.

So post to the masses. I did ask nicely. I have no clue who you are talking about, and I don't actually care. I love Spirit, and I want people to love it too. So I don't want us to sound like a bunch of paranoid, pseudopyschic nutjobs. It hurts us all.

LOL because the remainder of the ridiculousness in this thread is helpful...
