11v11

How many kids will the typical '03 team roster this year?

15 seems like the right number....but I've heard 14 alot..that is if you have a dedicated 14 you can count on to show up every week

Nice new profile pic! - although you might not be the right body type for soccer.... but I never judge a book by its cover.

Every team needs an enforcer, right? But sometimes it is hard finding a Liverpool jersey in my size!

After only one game on his top team, he said I wasn't RASE material....that I was too physical and didn't pass the ball enough. Really?....make 10 passes before every shot, who has that kind of patience? Plus, he'd insist on me building a defensive wall on free kicks, just me...all by myself. So I said piss off and found a home with Lubbock's Cruz Azul, now that's my brand of football.

Our team lost a couple soccer balls at practice last week. Now I see where you were hiding them!! Please feel free to keep them. Really, please.

Looks more like a goalie to me. Imagine seeing that charging at you...yikes!

Yeah those brits and their "possession" soccer - worthless in my opinion- if you can get er done with elbows and some junk in the trunk, its not my type of football either - is Cruz looking for some guest players?

by SolarPower00 17/07/12, 02:28 pm

Great bunch of folks....They would love to have you guest in a tournament. No need for birth certificates or academy player registration forms. They've got all that covered.
Make sure to get there an hour early so they can assign you a
~~name~~ I mean...position and number. Then get out there and mix it up!

This might be the first time I've ever seen those two in the same sentence.

by SolarPower00 17/07/12, 07:42 pm

What good4nuthin was saying is that a couple of youth teams here in N.Texas that are coached by Brits (LW for one) and they play more of a possession game than the rest. They don't rely on long through balls to the track star forward.

by Coach&Ref 18/07/12, 01:43 pm

Brits preferring to play possession?!

Anyone every WATCH the EPL?! LOL!

by SolarPower00 18/07/12, 01:47 pm

I clarify....'youth teams in N.Texas that are coached by Brits'

not referring to the professionals....

and yes as you can see by my jersey. I do watch EPL.

Obviously, there are exceptions to the rule, but I very much disagree.

People that think that because Brits, Portuguese, Mexican, etc. coaches are over here, will make them superior or bring with them that country's typical playstyle are incorrect.

Kickball style coaches are just bad coaches, but that has NOTHING to do with their nationality and neither does playstyle.

Forecast calls for 106 degrees Sat, I'm happy my DD's team didn't sign up for this one! Parents be careful with your DD if she's gonna brave the heat...

by kickit03 20/07/12, 06:18 pm

Any delays in tonight's games?

by 02Dad 20/07/12, 06:22 pm

Yes. Sitting in the parking lot, have not started 6:00 games yes.

The tourney people suck though... No communications to us about anything yet.

Why does Puma require size 3 ball for U9 games?

It's like - I totally know- HELLO puma cup!!! What is up with your totally lame ball sizes and brackets??? I mean like wtf???

Xxxooo

Did anyone actually play with a 3? On the boys size we still used 4s. I did think the running clock during the mandatory water breaks with already shortend halves made the games way to short.

I agree with this. The water breaks were akin to halftimes. When I'm reffing, I abide by two things. Firstly, I don't let players leave the field. Secondly, I limit it to a minute. Undoubtedly, coaches will try to stretch that minute out as long as they can, thinking it is a halftime by giving prolonged instructions to players.

Playing with the size 3 ball was ludicrous.
