[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MC Elite went 8-22-2 at Champions Cup.

Pride went 4-24 at LFTC/Champions Cup. [/quote]

So what? Pride’s A teams generally play vastly superior competition than MC Elite’s A teams. For example, look at the competition faced by Pride’s 2027 Red team at LFTC as opposed to MC Elite’s Midnight 2027 team at Champions Cup. Not even close. In addition, the same Pride team destroyed Stars Light Blue in the fall, while the same MC Elite team was just destroyed by Stars Light Blue in the Champions Cup. Stop pretending that MC Elite is in the same league as Pride. MC Elite’s A teams are generally as good as Pride’s B teams. As a club, Pride certainly has issues, but their teams are much stronger than MC Elite’s. [/quote]

Sorry, I was the one who posted that and did not mean to imply MC Elite teams are close to pride teams in terms of competitiveness. Was simply pointing out that a lot of these girls are working really hard and are facing stiff competition so that must be rough for them. I understand that pride is playing against some of the very top teams in the country but it doesn’t seem like it is very valuable if you are almost always losing and the girls feel defeated before they even step on the field.

I think it is worth it if they are competitive in the loss. The Pride 2027 Red team won 1 out of 4 games this weekend, but they beat BLC, the #10 team in the country, by 5 goals, after only beating them once before in several matchups. They also lost to Skywalkers, the #29 team, even though they had beaten them in several previous meetings. You should play in the highest bracket you can reasonably compete in. That’s how you get better. It doesn’t matter if you lose, although certainly winning is more fun. [/quote]

This isn't helping PP as many of those 27s will be at Capital next year and no longer playing for Pride.[/quote] Just go to all of the tryouts. MCE tryouts for 27 are first, next week, followed by Capital, then Pride. Be honest on where your daughter stacks up. If she is truly an A player go where she will be up one of the top 5 b/c then she will really stand out as all tourneys in HS are pretty much showcase. If doesn't make Cap Blue, it is not the end of the world, Pride and MCE top players have recruiting success too. Winning is fun, but not the point of HS club. [/quote]
