She might be fast. If she is fast enough that is all you need. ECNL is at its highest level is just High School kids. If you are really fast you can make a ton of mistakes and recover. It’s like having a big eraser.

Dumbest statement of the day award.

And what does just high school kids mean? WTF do you expect them to be? Robots? I’m mean, at the end of the day, we’re all humans. So why do you get paid more than others? We’re all humans, so why is Tom Brady a great quarterback and I’m not? So forth and so on

No it make totally sense. In high school and lower you can be one dimensional(fast/great athlete) and just show up. I have seen it a many times especially with speed. Someone shows up and has speed(like 4.5 in the 40 speed boy or like 5.0 for a girl), they will make a place for them. Now at the next level(college or pros) the differential in athleticism decreases and it becomes about skill.

The tall, superfast kid with no skill? Good centerbacks sort kids like that out by U13.

Sure - but the good centerbacks aren't playing in high school since they are playing on teams which discourage or flat out forbid it.

There are plenty of high school teams (no - probably not the top ones) where the PP is absolutely correct - and a blazingly fast kid who really can't play will get on the team and even start.

Dude....you need to stop. You sound foolish.

You're confused. I'm the guy who made the last comment, but not the one who made the earlier comment. I'm agreeing with him (or her) because I have seen it with my own eyes.

You have seen what with your own eyes?

Blazingly fast kids with no ball skills starting on a high school team.

If your player with great ball skills cant catch my players who is too fast for them. The better player is the faster one . If your not fast or athletic you need ball skills to make up for it. if your bigger faster stronger. ball skills are a clean looking extra.

You sound like Loudoun County or Champe coach. Kickball because you don’t know better lol

No because your player would be picked off by another player. It’s a team sport. You know a player is fast and that team plays kickball, you double up and skill prevails. It’s not rocket science.

Yet another league thread, I.e., where the parents of the talentless come to debate the value of a league patch. Nobody with talented kids or talented teams cares about this. You only need to talk about being in the Ivy League if you are not at the best in the league or the best in your class at a school in the Ivy League. The rest all put school bumper stickers on their priuses while the talent is flying in their private jets. How are those priuses these days? Have a wonderful day folks.

I can only tell you Lears and Cessnas are looking great these days.

Ummm..the game is won by being able to get the ball in the net. The fast player chases down the long ball and within half 3 seconds the ball is distributed out of bounds, shot 6 or more feet wide of the goal, or stripped from speed demon and redistributed back to the opposing half.

We have all seen this happen dozens upon dozens upon dozens of times in school ball.

Folks focus too much on speed and size. The reality is that a certain level of athletic ability is required and once you meet that basic level, skill, IQ and grit can help a player mitigate the lack of speed and/or size. If you have speed, size, skill and IQ, you will dominate.

You've wondered onto a message board about a different sport - silly. You're talking about American football which, although it shares the same name, is a totally different sport than Association football. In Association football the better player is the one who can move the ball fastest. So if you want to run with the ball your players have to run faster than my players can pass it. If you can't pass the ball you need to be able to run faster than Usain Bolt to make up for it. And since you can't run faster than Usain Bolt your silly players run all over the field trying to catch the ball which is moving faster than they can run. Ocasionally one of my players will make an error and one of your players will actually get the ball and then he will immediately give it away since he can't keep control of the ball when he is running so fast and he can't pass.

Oh - and if by some lucky, but unlikely, chance your player gets anywhere near goal, he will either miss the goal altogether or kick the ball straight at the goalie.

I think you all are talking a bit too black and white here. You can be fast and have skill and IQ. That’s the best combo. Just because someone is fast and tall doesn’t mean they have no skill and just because they have skill doesn’t mean they are slow. This is not an either or equation.
