[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an example of why LS parents just don’t get it.  The older the players get, the worse they perform.  LS saw some improvement in getting kids recruited…at least on the girls side, and what do they do?  They shift again to the GA.  They perceive that it’s the league that gets kids exposure and recruited.  It’s not.  It’s how they play.  Kids with a lot of foot skills go nowhere if they cannot connect a pass.  Nowhere.  I’ve seen so many LS players with speed and do well at a younger age only to be left behind at the older age groups.  Look at every high school top team at Loudoun soccer and ask yourself how many girls who were on the red team after academy are still on the top team when they are a junior in high school.  Maybe two girls.  The rest either quit or moved to another club.  Take that inventory and you will see what they did wrong.  Study Mcleans program if you want to learn how to develop players at early age groups.  Teach passing skills and let the kids develop their foot skills on their own.  Not everyone will be Messi.  What Loudoun soccer does at early age groups actually damages those players for a lifetime.  They can’t unlearn the wrong things they’ve been taught.  As a coach, one of the most difficult things is to re educate a kid who has been taught one way and they can’t make the adjustment to the proper way.  It’s a real skill if a coach can do this, especially within a girls program as it’s almost impossible to do and with ,any kids it is impossible.[/quote]

LS is notorious for going big, fast, 'strong' (physical) from u-littles to dominate at younger ages. It all falls apart without outside talent carrying the older teams. You can only body check players off the ball and blast the ball down the field for the sprinter on the team for so long in soccer. And they get small d3 college placements let's be honest.

I know people in leadership there. They don't care about their girls program half as much as the boys and it shows to anyone without blinders on. They have a few decent coaches, maybe one excellent coach, and a bunch of subpar coaches. [/quote]
