[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s why nobody cares who wins or loses any given youth game - at any level.  What everyone cares about is how the players are improving and learning.  It is the same at high level u17 and u7 rec.

No body is getting recruited because they played on such and such team.  The question is whether the recruiting coach thinks they play well. Period.  Oh - the team won xyz tournament.  Great.  But the question is whether Mary can play up top against good D or not?  [/quote]

Recruiters want to see a winner too. Dont fool yourself

I don't know if I agree with that statement, but I do know that if the team is getting thrashed every week it can be very difficult to evaluate Mary because she likeloy does not touch the ball much.  And it's hard to evaluate midfielders if the rest of the midfield is out of position when they receive the ball, and the forwards don't know when/how to make runs.  And so on for all other positions.[/quote]

Unless Mary’s a GK. [/quote]

If Mary were a GK the question would probably not be "whether Mary can play up top against good D or not".  Other than that, I agree that the GK is the position least likely to be affected by this issue.[/quote]

Recruiters want to see competitive matches[/quote]

Mary facing two dozen shots tells them a lot more than Mary getting one save and playing a couple of balls from her defenders in a scoreless draw[/quote]
