[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask if the VA Spirit 2007 team has had success this season? Trying to gauge how they will do next year as a DA team. Anyone out there willing to say whether parents and girls like the coach? I heard there are already 2 2008 girls playing on that team - true?[/quote]

The lowest age group in girls DA (VA Spirit included) is U13 (06). Spirit has had several 07s and an 08 play for their U13 team. I would not be surprised if the 08 moves up to U14 next year. There is of course another Spirit 07 player who has played exclusively U14/U15 so far. Realizing that the Spirit U13 and U14 teams have only been playing together for a season it is impressive that they can play competitively against top competition. For example in the top bracket of the CASL tournament (now called VisitRaleigh.com) U13 Spirit VA lost their three games 3-0, 1-0, and 2-1. Arlington DA and VDA ECNL (Number 1 in the U13 ECNL locally) were also in this bracket and neither of them advanced to finals either.   [/quote]

I think the OP may have been referring to the GFR Spirit 2007 group, who would presumably have the first shot at making the 2007 U13 Spirit DA squad next season.[/quote]

Not that the results tell the whole story, but here is a link to how the GFR Spirit 2007 group did in VPL in the fall.   They look competitive in most matches from the scores.

The 2008 group had even better results.

Is that FCV's top team listed in those results?  Pretty stark.

Where will they find players for next year's U13 GDA squad?  Loudoun?[/quote]
