If you have seen the 06 team play they need a good 5-6.

Nah, it’s about 3-4. But thanks for playing.

They lost to FCV yesterday 12-0 and Penn 9-0 last weekend. I would say there is a much bigger problem there. I agree with PPs that they need to reduce rosters as a whole and pick up some decent talent in the next couple months, otherwise WS is going to be in trouble.

Yes, they lost in the midfield. Did you watch the games?

What does that mean? Seems to me they lost in the recruiting department.

Yes, that's saying the same thing. If they had been able to recruit 4 talented 2006 players to play in the middle of the field, those wouldn't have been lopsided results. The one defining characteristic of the WS 2006 team is that they are average to small across the board. FCV for the most part looks like an age group up, or two, against them. This doesn't help.

If had to pick the two WS 06s most likely to play for FCV some day. They are both midfielders.

Yes, in a different age group. However, not on the 2006. That's the issue.

PP here.

I was referring to actual 06 players. Not 07 and 08s playing 06. I think both of the younger players did quite well yesterday.

Wsva should offer free rides to top 2-3 players in the area in the 04 thru 07 age groups. Just waive their fees. Older ages it is too late. This would go a long way in beefing up their program and strengthening their brand. Coaching is equivalent, if not better at Spirit. They just need the players. Only way to attract them is via $$$. I mean, this is how colleges do it so why not youth soccer? Neither one makes any money, so it is all about bragging rights. You want to win, you gotta pay.

This line of thought is just stupid. The training environment is very good, the talent just isn’t there quite yet. If talented players want an opportunity to play DA and have opportunity to be scouted more often, they have a great chance to start/play complete games with a WS team. They can make an impact and improve the teams. Or, they can play for their current, non ECNL/DA teams, against inferior competition, and not see the improvement they would against tougher competition. It’s really their choice. Or, if they’d rather ride pine at a top DA/ECNL team, that’s an option too. I’d rather my kid start and play whole games, but some people like paying big $$ watching other people’s kids win trophies. It’s all about preferences.

Agreed. If you are the best player on your current non DA team then Spirit might be the best place for you to develop!
