[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]please note. 2010s lost to 2009s and 2011s lost to 2010s. I don't care about how it fits into the argument, but present all the facts. If this is true, this argument about wins/ losses is stupid. [/quote] WRONG. The truly elite talent in our area was, in many instances, already playing up before they came to DCU. The top talent in our area should be completely fine playing a year up against local clubs. The fact that you're saying otherwise shows you know nothing about our area or the talent in our area. Just stick to cutting up the oranges after the game...better use of your time. [/quote] I'm not a genius at the soccer thing, but I'm 100% sure based on physicality, there are major differences between playing up U10 vs U11 and U14 vs U15 etc when the puberty scale is considered Also, the dcua can only have a limited amount of players, that means there are several dcu quality players on regular MLS next teams. Plain numbers issue. So you have dcu vs similar talent of superior size, age and speed Same if Achilles U15 played Bethesda U16 The scoreboard is irrelevant if you understand soccer, it's the individual elements broken down for each player in their area under that pressure that matters But such an intellectual approach argument regarding youth development here is wasted [/quote] +1 "My son played up at u12 and dominated so they should play up at u16 and dominate" 😂[/quote] Oh. You two are so cute! I’d “intellectually” argue the opposite. I have seen two types of kids playing up early: 1) physical advantage; 2) head start by training earlier Both are neutralized by around U15/U16 when kids with better technical practice habits and consistency through U15 overtake both categories. By U15/U16 most boys should be playing pickup with men, a critical mistake high level players in the US avoid. When you combine the nutrition, fitness and tactical expertise of a professional academy with players and coaches who have played/coached professionally versus P2P kids eating ham sandwiches and being coached by former D3 players who earned their A/B license, an academy player should have a significant advantage on a P2P player in order to play up a year by U15/U16 even if they were level earlier at U12. The purpose of home schooling is “supposed” to enable a player to accumulate more hours than a traditional P2P player thereby accelerating their curve even more.[/quote] Get you rocks off from being contrary to be contrary How about taking the next 10 pages on your own without interruption to repeat yourself at nauseum to get it out your system With your long and indepth resume, portfolio, first hand personal knowledge and experience at top International clubs and academies [/quote] See above...when you've lost all hope in your position you post this.
