I've seen these boys play and they can move the ball better than some of the other MLSN teams.


Indeed. Quite the squad. Kicked my DS's team's butt often! Special group of kids that are well coached. Best of luck to them!

Big accomplishment for the players and the coach.

4 2011 and 1 2010

Good for them. Proof that one does not need to go to ECNL to get scouted.


None of those kids looks unusually small.


It's all relative, isn't it? But if those 4 kids in the picture on the right are about 5'0" or 5'1", which is what i am guessing (my DS has played the VDA 2011B before; those boys are about my DS's height), which I would call that about average for 13. But one of the boys in picture is 14, and about 5'0" or 5'1" that seems under average for 14. But again, it's relative, and also, who cares? Good on them for getting picked up by DCU, biobanding or not, it's an accomplishment!


you write all that then throw in a who cares


Just addressing a comment since I have a general idea of the size. Sorry not sorry. Trying to focus on the accomplishment regardless of biobanding talk.

Why? Who cares if he bio bands or not? It's an accomplishment either way, and speaks to the strength of his program.


Someone listed something uncommon as a fact. If it's true, then what's the problem?

Have to imagine it's going to hurt. The 2011s are a very strong team, and have been pretty much since they started playing together years ago. And this group has been together for a long while. They're arguably losing their 4 best players. That's not insignificant and I can't see it not having an impact on the team going forward.


Fortunately, they still have talent, and who knows who they picked up from other clubs. Guessing they won't be blanking teams left and right anymore, but they should still be fairly solid.
