[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any ninny can tell the difference between a good player who had a bad touch in one instance versus a player who consistently fails to do so.

Exactly and an ECNL and/or DA player will have a bad touch now and then.  Watch the YNT play on YouTube - every other touch is bad.   So petty to be judging a girl that has a 90 minute game and outshines your DD.

Also must sting to have a very technical player who regularly gets their clock cleaned because they don’t have the speed to be where they need to be when they need to be there.   Lots of skillets are needed for a complete team and even a player of “average” technical ability can be lethal on the pitch. [/quote]

What really stings is having a technical player who has speed but who'se teammates lack the skill to keep up because of their touch.  It breaks the play down over and over.  It also stings to have a technical midfielder wide open for a pass, and instead have a centerback slam the ball in a big boot forward that turns possession over to the other team.  Those are painful to the player and also very hard to watch on the sidelines. [/quote]

You just need to switch teams and find a team that has more intelligent players. [/quote]

And now you know the problem. We've looked around. It's like this everywhere in Nova.  That is what inspired the observation. I could always move to California, where it's better, but California is so expensive to live in.  I have definitely thought about it. [/quote]

We are not in NOVA but the scenario you described if occurred on our team  our center back would get  benched  if they did that regularly - even at younger ECNL teams.   [/quote]

Yes, since this board is for the Nova area, I'm talking about the Nova area.  I didn't mean every single DA/ECNl club all over the continental US.  I meant here.  For all of it.  We should demand better from our coaches.  There's nothing wrong with the gene pool that these girls can't do better.  They can.  But not if coaches don't correct and expect better.

And it's not unique to any one team.  These scenarios, I see them in our competition too. Some have faster girls or slower girls, physical or less physical but the technical issues are a problem. [/quote]

It's a diluted market; lots of options.   You are being too hard on the kids to be blunt.  If they don't have it, they don't.  That means they aren't putting in what it takes.   Reduce the elite options back down to 3-4 for the area and you solve the problem of some of the kids not being at the level of the top group.[/quote]
