[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]My 2008 DD played against a Barça Academy Northern Virginia team yesterday at WAGS.  Having sat by one of the Barça parents, I got to ask a few general questions about the experience.  Nothing earth-shattering was revealed.  The parents seemed to like the overall program.

This 2008 Barça team is one of three on the girls side.  This was their first true game.  They held their own with a consistent level of play for the entire game, with no appreciable drop-off in skill as substitutes rotated in.  Both teams play a similar build-out-of-the-back possession-based style, without being overly-aggressive.  DD's team was able to score a pair of "opportunistic goals" (DD coach's assessment).  The Barça coach seem even-tempered throughout the game.

I can only imagine that this Barça group will only get better over time.  One game is a small sample size, but I could see this team having a tough time against a more physical, more aggressive team right now.  They happen to be going up against a team like that later today.  This same team also lost to one of Arlington's teams yesterday.

There was a 2007 Barça girls team on the field before DD's game.  I didn't watch them play as intently … or for as long, but they looked as capable and as competent.[/quoteay

Thanks for your kind words.  My daughter plays on that 08 team.  The team is at a development stage and won't play in the leagues until Spring.  Playing in their first tournament against tough teams was a good experience for the girls.  The team has three 09s playing up with them and a couple of 2008s are playing up with 07 team.  Good luck to FPYC in the semi-finals!     [/quote]
