[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer soccer is pretty meaningless. [/quote]

This is the National Championship and playoffs - season ending culmination - not meaningless[/quote]

At 13? Meaningless. [/quote]

All age groups you buffoon....go find a forum you know something about[/quote]

No, I meant a National Championship at 13 is meaningless you buffoon. [/quote]

NP, just because your life is meaningless, doesn't mean you have to say every part of everyone else's is also.  Will a national championship at U13 be a life changing event?  No, but at 13, many of these kids have been playing soccer for 10 years, so it is quite an accomplishment.  It is something that these kids should be proud of.  [/quote]

No, a National Championship at 13 is pretty meaningless. First year of full field, kids still going through puberty, so many tactical and technical deficiencies to count, 4 years away from college coaches being able to talk to the kids.

Yeah, objectively it is pretty meaningless. And considering they are all on their way home early how proud do they feel now?[/quote]

It’s very meaningful to the kids. It’s like winning a Little League World Series. It doesn’t mean everyone on the team is destined for college and pro glory. But it’s something they will remember the rest of their lives and it could be a motivating confidence building moment for them. Why do you insist on belittling something that others want to celebrate?[/quote]

You’re free to celebrate it. Lots of people celebrate dumb things.

If the 16 teams that played were actually the top 16 teams in the nation then sure but when only one team participating is a top 20 team the results are meaningless. If it was a true “National Championship” your team wouldn’t have even sniffed the fields. [/quote]

Let it go. Drawing distinctions among youth soccer accomplishments is preposterous. They are all totally meaningless except to those accomplish them. It’s youth soccer. Hell, in that sense, even professional soccer accomplishments are not important or worth celebrating or even discussing for most people. It’s an f’n game, not rocket science, neurosurgery, or any variety of substantially important things that propel societies forward. So let people have their fun and realize that you and your kids have probably done nothing and will do nothing that 99.999999% of people in the world care about or respect in the leafy any more than the ability of somebody who can fix their car. [/quote]

Celebrate what!?!? There was no accomplishment.

3 Mid Atlantic 08 teams went and they left early with a collective 2 wins. They literally have nothing to celebrate about. [/quote]
