my guess is a little bit of both….. or a lot on the girls side. Speaking for our DDs experience her teammates and their parents were incensed. As another poster indicated ironic ally pretty accurately (my how word travels) that it was clear as day it was politics involved. My kiddo didn’t care but man o man….. others wished they had older important siblings that day.

NVA?

Must be affecting something. Draw against Fusion for 2011?!

My DD is not on NVA or VDA 2011s but these are 13 year old girls you’re talking about. Stop chest thumping as if you’re out there playing yourself.

oh its coming next tryouts. Coaches seem to overlook how things are interconnected. Strong players that have carried teams that were overlooked take note of the politics and make adjustments down the road. Now that dust of movements have settled those little decisions have big ripples down the road once parents start talking. Parents that want whats best for their DCs will look to link w winning packages and throw their weight around come tryouts.

1000% things like this is like a rude awakening for parents who feel the coach will be fair and been loyal but overlooked

NP here. Our team got 3 invites (not saying which year or team), but the invites are odd because none of the 3 are in the upper tier of the team or among the strongest players of the team and none of them are consistent starters (2 aren't even starters at all and 1 just joined the team). I don't get it. I like the kids, and I am happy for them, but I could have picked at least 10 other kids on our team who are much stronger players and 5 of those 10 who are much, much better. Something is really off. And no, not sour grapes. But I do worry about how this will affect the team dynamics. It makes no sense, none.

Dear Sour Grapes,
We hear your concerns

Worried about team dynamics? Lol. Snowflake parents beget snowflake kids.

VDA 2011 played DCU twice this pre-season

DCU was obviously just mixing and experimenting with players all over the pitch

VDA didn't win any of those games

Move on

Move on DCU over rated, beaten by much smaller FC Delco.

Much smaller FC Delco with there 3 big biobanded kids while DCU has small kids playing up 🙂

Look north

Which team is your kid starring on right now?
