[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another thread dedicated to bashing Spirit. [/quote]

How shocking!   It's slow DD's parents lifelong mission, so it will never end.   Of course, it would be easier to admit that DD just isn't cut out for elite soccer, but psychosis has this way of avoiding the rational approach.[/quote]

WS parents should be careful with throwing stones[/quote]

Why?   This DD couldn’t make WS, so this is a stone worth throwing. [/quote]

U14: 3-11-5
U15: 2-18-4 (-32 GD)
U16/17: 2-17-2 (-54 GD)
U18/19: 10-10-0

The U16/17 split next year causing even more issues.

Now take that stone and put it back in your pocket.

Different poster.  I don't like all the "your DD is slow" crap.  I also don't like the trolling on the flip side.  I actually think the split age group helps.  Now Spirit can do away with the EDP concept, which is the most tragic thing I have ever seen.  That was poorly conceived, poorly run, and I feel genuinely bad for those players.  I would never have accepted it for my kid.  Now, you are either DA or you aren't.  They can put the PT players with GFR, which is what should have happened all along.  Also, every age group has overly large rosters with a portion of players that should not have been placed at this level.  They lack the ability to compete at this level.  It doesn't mean they are bad players or that they could never make it.  However, it doesn't help them to develop by placing them so far beyond what they can do.  It actually breaks their confidence.  So, we trim the players that aren't there yet and if they still want a pipeline to Spirit, they can join GFR.

Then you stop playing players up.  This makes the at age team competitive and helps the team the play ups were on by also making them more competitive.  That will change the record for most of the teams.  Some teams are clearly struggling regardless, but every club has an age group that isn't very impressive.  [/quote]
