Loudoun parents are in for a rude awakening once HS hits and the players are all roughly the same size. |
Says Mclean, Arlington, Metro, and FCV parents. Sorry, your only hope is players leave Loudoun and I don’t see that happening. Maybe you should think about trying out. |
You obviously don't have an older dc playing the game. Once you get to high school the game is different. Kids grow, get a better understanding of the game and it's a more even level playing field. The teams that once dominated don't do so much. The scores are closer. |
Being the best team at u13… |

| 09 girls are just little kids - not worth the drama at this age. |
Not so little anymore. Some are taller than you! |
I always love these posts from the same people who marvel over Charlie Woods (also a 12 year old) |
That is because a great 12-year old golfer is a lot closer to good pro golfers than any 12-year-old soccer player in the world. You are comparing a game with a sport. You may as well talk about chess wunderkinder while you are at it. But I generally agree that talent at this age is usually talent when older, and untalented at this age won’t become talented later. The difference is how we all look at talent. There are plenty of talented kids at this age who are behind the growth curve who will dominate if and when they grow fully into athletes. Of course they may not. But it is pretty obvious who those kids are, and pretty obvious which kids have an edge due to hitting the growth curve earlier. |
Let the kids enjoy playing the sport |
Players most likely leave in a couple of years |
Expect movement from the ECNL clubs to GA |
Why would anyone do this? |
Because the GA puts the players first and profits second. |
ok, quantify that for us then. |
