People leave if there is a viable option somewhere else and they don't like the program they have. some of the area rosters have as much as thirty 06s on them and poor results.

I'd like to see a viable DA club in Metro United, gives my DD another choice for the future, but it appears from this thread that there is a communication issue at the team level from the coach and HC about trends from past results and future expectations outside of status quo so players & parents understand and aren't surprised. Maybe they are doing that, and kudos to them, but that's not the impression from this thread. Good luck to you in the Spring!

This is a DA question. Are clubs required to field a team at every age? My friend has a DD 2008 at GFR and she is claiming they are going to be doing 2008 DA next year. None of the girls parents want them to "play up". The club has told them they plan to field a 2008 team but may not be able to field a 2007 team. Are you allowed to not have a team at certain age groups? Maybe the few 2007 players can continue to play 2006?

I know the older age groups are required but I'm not sure if the younger ones are. U13 and U14 are not listed in standings so maybe they are "just for kicks" age groups. If this is the case MU would be wise to have a 2008 team and forego the 2007 one if they don't have the talent to support it. If their 2006 team is still 2006/2007 players who are getting killed and they force the 2008 girls to play 2007 than they will have a 2nd team who has yet to score a goal when March of 2011 rolls around. The 2008 GFR group has some talent but not all those girls are DA caliber at the 2008 level and none of them are ready to play DA against teams that have had an additional year of DA training and are at age.

Please define “DA training”

A team that has played in the DA for a year already. Most of the U14 teams will have played DA games for a year already. Is this not true? Do Arlington and FCV currently have U13 DA teams and MU does not have one?

No 2008 team has had "an additional year of DA training" by your own definition.

Not the PP but I think what they were saying is that none of the GFR 08 girls are ready to play against 07 DA teams next year that have already been training together and playing in the DA for a year.

And based on several posts, GFR 08 girls don't want to play 07. They want to play with and against 08s.

Why would they need to? Metro will have no shortage of 07s. More likely it will be tough to just make the 08 team.

I hope so. With the partnerships and time to build, if they have done well with that, you are right. The reason people are asking is because this year, they couldn't field an 07 or an appropriate 06 team. I hope too they have no shortage of 06s so that that team becomes a competitive group that will be tough to just make the 06 team.

Problem is if you have seen the GFR 06 and 07 team play they do not have the talent for DA. The 08 team has the best chance for having a decent team without a million play ups. The 06 MU team is going to need atleast 5 GOOD players when the other move down to their own age group, and with their record and talent why would anyone go to that team?

We would all love to see your superstar DD play on a DA team comprised of only half at age kids, playing against teams fully at age, so we could make snarky remarks about her “talent.” Give it a rest already.

There may be some 06s from area teams that would look to make a move. If my DD were on a roster of 30, I'd be looking around for options.

But, even if they don't, they may need to field an 07 team of 07s and an 06 team of 06s, even if it isn't a stud team, and just build from the 08s. McLean's 06 team isn't lighting the world on fire either. Sometimes you take the players you have and work to develop them.

I agree. The situation was untenable from the start. The team never had a chance. But if the 06 players on that team have grown and developed, then just adding more 06s could make that a respectable team.

The PP talked about having a team with only half the players being at age, but I'm having an issue? LOL, ok! You can't have it both ways. Either having half the players at age explains the results and the team needs more at age players, or it's not, and the problem is a general lack of talent, which I don't believe, but to each his own.

Actually not at all. They are good players. But, to compete against at age teams in the DA, you need predominantly at age players. Stop being so transparent about trying to divide parents that have no divisions and tearing down little girls because they play on a team who is at a distinct disadvantage to the other DA teams in the age group.

And based on several posts, GFR 08 girls don't want to play 07. They want to play with and against 08s.

Why would they need to? Metro will have no shortage of 07s. More likely it will be tough to just make the 08 team.

I hope so. With the partnerships and time to build, if they have done well with that, you are right. The reason people are asking is because this year, they couldn't field an 07 or an appropriate 06 team. I hope too they have no shortage of 06s so that that team becomes a competitive group that will be tough to just make the 06 team.

Problem is if you have seen the GFR 06 and 07 team play they do not have the talent for DA. The 08 team has the best chance for having a decent team without a million play ups. The 06 MU team is going to need atleast 5 GOOD players when the other move down to their own age group, and with their record and talent why would anyone go to that team?

We would all love to see your superstar DD play on a DA team comprised of only half at age kids, playing against teams fully at age, so we could make snarky remarks about her “talent.” Give it a rest already.

I agree. The situation was untenable from the start. The team never had a chance. But if the 06 players on that team have grown and developed, then just adding more 06s could make that a respectable team.

The play ups on this team really really bother you. LOL.

The PP talked about having a team with only half the players being at age, but I'm having an issue? LOL, ok! You can't have it both ways. Either having half the players at age explains the results and the team needs more at age players, or it's not, and the problem is a general lack of talent, which I don't believe, but to each his own.

Same anti-MU troll, different day. Some people can’t let go.

There is a large market of clubs to choose from. Pick one and live your life.

I'd like to see a viable DA club in Metro United, gives my DD another choice for the future, but it appears from this thread that there is a communication issue at the team level from the coach and HC about trends from past results and future expectations outside of status quo so players & parents understand and aren't surprised. Maybe they are doing that, and kudos to them, but that's not the impression from this thread. Good luck to you in the Spring!

This is a DA question. Are clubs required to field a team at every age? My friend has a DD 2008 at GFR and she is claiming they are going to be doing 2008 DA next year. None of the girls parents want them to "play up". The club has told them they plan to field a 2008 team but may not be able to field a 2007 team. Are you allowed to not have a team at certain age groups? Maybe the few 2007 players can continue to play 2006?

I know the older age groups are required but I'm not sure if the younger ones are. U13 and U14 are not listed in standings so maybe they are "just for kicks" age groups. If this is the case MU would be wise to have a 2008 team and forego the 2007 one if they don't have the talent to support it. If their 2006 team is still 2006/2007 players who are getting killed and they force the 2008 girls to play 2007 than they will have a 2nd team who has yet to score a goal when March of 2011 rolls around. The 2008 GFR group has some talent but not all those girls are DA caliber at the 2008 level and none of them are ready to play DA against teams that have had an additional year of DA training and are at age.

Please define “DA training”

A team that has played in the DA for a year already. Most of the U14 teams will have played DA games for a year already. Is this not true? Do Arlington and FCV currently have U13 DA teams and MU does not have one?

Actually not at all. They are good players. But, to compete against at age teams in the DA, you need predominantly at age players. Stop being so transparent about trying to divide parents that have no divisions and tearing down little girls because they play on a team who is at a distinct disadvantage to the other DA teams in the age group.

Yeah, I don't know why he's so determined.

Was there talk? That would be the step forward both clubs need. It would create a powerhouse.

Tag team online? Everyone sees through the chirade. The team has very poor results. What's the explanation? Are you tossing the 06 players under a bus and saying it is the play ups that are the talent? Get real.

No I said if the 2008 players are forced to play 2007 next year because there are no 2007 players they will be playing against teams that will have had a year of DA training. The MU players will be getting it for the first time.
