[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair to FCV 05, the PDA team that destroyed them has destroyed other local teams. The team outscored ECNL competition 43 to 3 during the Fall season.

I think we can all agree that FCV is a solid team but even solid teams have bad games. Anyone remember Germany's beatdown of Brazil during the 2014 World Cup?

The poor behavior of two parents is an entirely different issue but let's not act like many teams don't have a parent or two who are on the edge. [/quote]

In order to lose 7-0 at this level your lacking in creativity. Pure and simple. Parents should probably try and understand the game. Now a loss like that can be a great thing. In the right environment the kids will learn and respond positively. But with parents showing their colors on the sidelines one can guess what the kids hear regarding teammates at home. All of this is a shame for the kids. It’s a real chance for growth. Fingers crossed for the kids the coach handles it’s all the right way. Otherwise that game against TopHat could be a real problem.

Just curious: What's your soccer background? Losing 7-0 is because of a lack of creativity? I'm not sure how you reach that conclusion. PDA's 05s have been rolling over everything in its path for YEARS. The only reason Loudoun's 05s won regionals is because PDA didn't participate. [/quote]

Let me answer your question with a question. When you watched that game did you see kids solving problems? Because there were many to solve that went unanswered. Now I could be a coach. I could be a parent. I could be teammate’s parent. I could be a rival’s parent. None of that should matter to the development of the players on that team and creativity should be part of their development. There no reason a highly talented team should lose 7-0. I’m not saying they would have won but PDA pulled back. Your not doing something if that’s the case. And if a team can’t problem solve then they lack creativity. But by all means concern yourself with a commenters background. [/quote]

Then that is a problem with a few other clubs in the area.  Part of problem solving and development is exposure to tougher teams. It may expose some weaknesses and that may be an opportunity for growth.

What is more concerning is a team with a string of losses all year long. And what's worse than that is a club with multiple teams that keep getting thumped game after game. [/quote]

That would depend on the kids. The parents understanding of what is development for their child. What environment is best for their child. Losing 7-0 is a learning experience. But thinking that it matters what other clubs in the area are or aren’t doing in regards to wins has nothing to do with those kids growth.

What’s is being worked on now should be for u16/u17. Putting such an emphasis on winning leads to the situation this weekend. This is going to be an extremely interesting spring. We all will see who has grown/developed. Maybe we can all meet back here and BS some more about some 07 player or which U14 team won more games while losing to good teams from other parts of the county. The sooner parents realize what their kid needs in regards to the game instead of how many wins the sooner our area will develop better players. [/quote]

Winning every game isn't proof of development, but the absence of any wins at all should always be concerning.  Either the team is not being coached well, or the kids aren't playing in the right division, or some other big problem.[/quote]
