Somehow this completely overmatched player has the 2nd most goals on the team. That's where you lost me. How did that happen? Pure luck?

Kind of. It wasn't like she took on 3 or 4 players and then took some driven shot. Last year, on the 04 team, the most goals were by one of the least skilled players on the team. She had speed, passion, and all, but she was by no means the technical guru.

So your at age DD is not starting over a non-skilled 2 year play up who starts every game and has the 2nd most goals on the team due to pure luck? Is that the gist of it? Ok - I get your frustration.

Oh yes! I was wondering where our defense by offense man is back! Sleep in?

(Honestly me too, and it's my kid he's talking about I'm confident enough in her skills he can't get under my skin with such a cheap shot. )

It's not a cheap shot at your kid. I have no dog in the fight. But the other poster clearly has both selection bias and confirmation bias. While I feel for his situation, it's purely mean of him to keep complaining about your kid publicly. So I felt it was a bit deserved to call him out.

You couldn't be more off target. Go for it though. My DD's skills don't depend on your posts. She has the same biases. She doesn't enjoy being on the field with a player that can't keep up. She doesn't get a full training experience because of a player that can't keep up. Those are real problems. Go on though! Give it your best efforts. Laughter is so freeing!

Sure. Just realize that everything you are bring up is subjective. The objective data is that this play up kid is being selected to start. She is scoring goals. I have not seen a game, maybe it's terribly sloppy. But those are the facts. Her DA record shows she even played up another year one game and scored a goal. So THAT is why you look like you are whining. Based on those facts.

Instead, I suggest you focus on your own DD and helping her get better. No situation is ideal. But don't point the finger at another kid. It's not cool.

Several posters have expressed concern and frustration in several ways, cool and not cool. Where there is smoke, there is fire. It will be interesting to see if unhappy parents leave, if MU changes policy, or if the player leaves. Last year mom tried FCV and McLean (per Twitter). Perhaps she will again. All posts though have come as a reaction to the hakuna mata approach.

As for you. You think it's interesting to see if unhappy parents leave - like it's fun to watch a car wreck. You are the worst on this board. Where there is smoke, we can surely find you bringing in the kindling to try to burn down your rival club. It's not hard to figure it out.

Watch a game, you’ll feel bad for the 05 teammates that are trying to showcase and mad at the HC and mom for making this a situation.

I’m sure the 05 parents have their opinions and that’s fine. I’m the no dog in this fight poster but I’m sensitive to this because I actually came upon these threads once and my kid’s situation was being discussed. My heart just fell to the floor. All these people you think are your friends week in and week out, and then they spout off anonymously on some message board saying terrible things about the kids. Its too pointed, people should speak in general terms.

When you create an obvious situation that doesn't really work around you and your kid, expect an experience. Glad coaches used common sense. We get to sit back an watch the show.

+1
the jealous parents need to press on and stop bitchin about play ups, most parents have no issue if the kid is good enough and adds strength to a team

Don’t come whining on an anony forum- instead have a conversation with the director or leave the club! Plain and simple

You have to understand their frustration and jealousy. When a player is 2 years younger and is more technically sound and talented than their DD which leads to her getting more playing time, the only left for them to do is getting on a anonymous forum to whine, complain, bash the club, etc.

Did you just post two comments as if you’re two different people?

Im the 10:03am poster and not the PP. Did you disagree with my comments? I’m just wondering why people love coming on this forum to bash their own club or another club rather than just talk to the coach, TD, team manager, etc. This leads to conclude it’s definitely some form of ugly jealousy.

That's fair. My choice of words was poor. I guess what I should have said is what will be telling is...it's not interesting in any real sense. It's sad that this problem exists. I hope it gets fixed.

Mom will stay if MU allows the 2 year up gig. No way this player will join the winless 06 MU team. Otherwise she will go to FCV. McLean 06 team is probably almost as bad as the MU 06 team so I doubt we will see her there. And there is no chance she will play at age. TBH she is good enough to play up anywhere. If I were her I would play 06 FCV just so my DD isn't playing with girls so much older.

Then she should go. The club shouldn't let mom set the agenda, and one player shouldn't control the development of an entire team. The other very likely outcome is that a few key players will leave. Without them to carry the team, she may play up two years again another round, but it will be a very different experience.

Player with second highest goals on team by DA subbing rules, most time on the field also - playing mid.... playing defense too ? then why big GD so?

Mid critical position - conclusin that every other player surround mid suspect now, according to mom abov all other players surrounding while she out scoring.

Mom will stay if MU allows the 2 year up gig. No way this player will join the winless 06 MU team. Otherwise she will go to FCV. McLean 06 team is probably almost as bad as the MU 06 team so I doubt we will see her there. And there is no chance she will play at age. TBH she is good enough to play up anywhere. If I were her I would play 06 FCV just so my DD isn't playing with girls so much older.

Then she should go. The club shouldn't let mom set the agenda, and one player shouldn't control the development of an entire team. The other very likely outcome is that a few key players will leave. Without them to carry the team, she may play up two years again another round, but it will be a very different experience.

Well, threatening to leave is also setting an agenda. Frankly, you don't get to pick your roster. You can certainly vote with your feet but that can be done without all the forum bluster and drama.

I think when you have a talented player, even though she is overmatched because she is playing up too many years, you might feel obligated to play her to keep mom happy, to keep the player getting game experience, and so on. She is talented and should play, but she can't keep up with freshman in high school. It's been proven over and over, game after game

Somehow this completely overmatched player has the 2nd most goals on the team. That's where you lost me. How did that happen? Pure luck?

Kind of. It wasn't like she took on 3 or 4 players and then took some driven shot. Last year, on the 04 team, the most goals were by one of the least skilled players on the team. She had speed, passion, and all, but she was by no means the technical guru.

So your at age DD is not starting over a non-skilled 2 year play up who starts every game and has the 2nd most goals on the team due to pure luck? Is that the gist of it? Ok - I get your frustration.

This is purely mean! But I also had to laugh.

(Honestly me too, and it's my kid he's talking about I'm confident enough in her skills he can't get under my skin with such a cheap shot. )

It's not a cheap shot at your kid. I have no dog in the fight. But the other poster clearly has both selection bias and confirmation bias. While I feel for his situation, it's purely mean of him to keep complaining about your kid publicly. So I felt it was a bit deserved to call him out.

You couldn't be more off target. Go for it though. My DD's skills don't depend on your posts. She has the same biases. She doesn't enjoy being on the field with a player that can't keep up. She doesn't get a full training experience because of a player that can't keep up. Those are real problems. Go on though! Give it your best efforts. Laughter is so freeing!

Sure. Just realize that everything you are bring up is subjective. The objective data is that this play up kid is being selected to start. She is scoring goals. I have not seen a game, maybe it's terribly sloppy. But those are the facts. Her DA record shows she even played up another year one game and scored a goal. So THAT is why you look like you are whining. Based on those facts.

Instead, I suggest you focus on your own DD and helping her get better. No situation is ideal. But don't point the finger at another kid. It's not cool.

Several posters have expressed concern and frustration in several ways, cool and not cool. Where there is smoke, there is fire.

I don't think anyone will leave to make a threat. They will leave to get a better training environment and game experience.
