I was starting left midfielder for 6 years Travel and 4 years of High School.

At an early age, you can start seeing a kid's natural aptitude based on drive, genetics, speed and ability.

There is a natural Striker--hunger for the goal that can't be taught, speed, ball control. The work-horse midfielder, great at feeding passes, that defender that can stop anything.

To put a striker on defense is absurd. My travel team was undefeated for 8 seasons and we only put people in unnatural positions when we were trying to prevent the score from running up.

It pains me to see this 'develop all positions BS'.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback and sincerity.

This showed to be the best way to take down a troll.

Wow--where did you pull that quote from? If you are new to this thread and just read through all 213 pages, I salute you!

Hey, some civil conversation. Thank you. A relief after that anonymous DB troll-hunter has gone back into his hole where he can quote out of context to support his beloved local club.

Oh, aren't you just the superior one, posting about others as being trolls yet offering no insight or contributing to the topic at hand at all but instead simply calls posters names while claiming some moral high ground.

Oh, the irony.

Thanks, right on time. Too bad my kid's schedule is a nuclear tire fire. Four-hour round-trip to cross half the next state for a mere regular season game. I must have been a spam e-mail chieftain in a prior life. Actually I'm too old for that. But damn, NCSL schedulers. Damn.

You are welcome. And yeh, same boat. One of our teams is playing an 8am game in WEST VIRGINIA.

Not us. My '05 and '08 NCSL games are all local. Farthest we drive is 30 min.

Both kids are also in same place most weekends.

This is much better than CCL last year for us.

Yeh, that's what last year looked like for us (NCSL). This season just looks all jacked up for some reason.

Because West Virginia is part of our nation's capital, the District of Columbia. I get it. And so is Solomons Island.

I don't mind going to WVa...it's more about the time of day. I know for a fact most of the team will not make it on time.

CCL question. The rules still say that U11 is included in computation of the standings. BUT on the CCL website, they no longer include U11 standings for boys and girls. Are they making some changes for this younger age group, less travel, incomplete schedule, etc., that somehow justify taking them out of of the standings? Looks like from a couple CCL club websites, they do not have a CCL U11 team.

It is not uncommon for standings to be tracked until U12 in many leagues, especially in a Club based model like CCL. Old WAGS, NCSL or ODSL are relegation based so standing are tracked a little earlier but there is no need for CCL to do so.

I wonder if the rules are outdated. With the age change, the CCL age groups go up to U19 (where last year the oldest was U18), so everything kind of shifted. It would make sense if the standings were now based on U12-U19, where they were U11-U18 before.
