[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same as everyone else..driving hours to play teams from the same local area. Learning the alphabet playing WC Eagles A through Z just to get crushed by them at NITs. Well unless you get lucky and get Texas Pride 1 through infinity.   Meanwhile a DD gets two minutes of playing time while the promise child age 13 and under play for U16/19 and contributes little if any to the game. Have only been witness to this for 10 years so maybe it’s a new fad. Sarcasm if you didn’t catch it or if it hit close to home.  Why can’t we just let these play the game they love. If we really want quality play maybe we should do it by USAFH regions.  This mega clubs then would have to play against themselves.[/quote]

Honestly, WC should have multiple teams in the top pool. Spreading them out, one per pool, only means they win more pools and that the A pool (talking u14 and down) isn’t actually all the strongest teams. I realize teams are “grouped” so all the level 1 teams play each other, all the level 2 teams play each other etc. but it still doesn’t put all the strongest teams against one another.  And there is definitely a difference between the A pool and the F pool even though they may both be level 1 teams.

Obviously it’s a different story for u16 and u19, but even with the seeding and re-ranking, it seems they never play themselves.

My daughter has played WC plenty, Diamonds on down, and I really don’t mind because the challenge has made her a stronger player. No other club compares.

Side note, last year, I was told a group of WC players, who were not good enough for their RCC team, played for Delaware Sharks at RCC. I heard they practiced with WC as always, but they registered with the Sharks under USA field hockey in order to play for them at RCC. I wonder if we will see more of this. [/quote]
