Who's Mailing....I Mean Packing It In?
Who's Mailing....I Mean Packing It In?
Some teams will be on their heels yet still attempt to play the game. While others will simply build a bunker and hope for a tie.
So who will advance their team tho weekend for appearance sake only to regret it in league play?

Does the team who plays the prettiest soccer advance?
I'm pretty sure it's just based on points.

So you are already saying (before we even play the QT) that there are some teams who will advance to 2nd week and perhaps qualify for the league... yet they don't deserve it?

from history and having been a part of LH for many years, sometimes coach's play to get their girls in a division that they're not necessarily ready for or equipped for. but because many are results-only oriented, they'll use two weekends of tournaments while sacrificing their upcoming year of development for their kids just to say they made.
happens almost every year. just hate to see it again and again.
with my '96 and years since, it's been unfortunate to see that's all.
maybe i should delete the post.
it was just a curious question.

I think if a team makes it to LH then they deserve to be there.
Who is to say that they dont? I would love for you to state some examples of teams that made it to LH and did not "deserve" it

What do we think of this coaching tactic? Is it a valid strategy to to get keep the score down or better yet shut out the opponent?

There was one very large and very loud U11 dad who instructed EVERY touch all game long. Hard to believe the other parents didn't shut him up.

Hard to believe he wasn't warned by refs. I saw someone get warned for much less while watching a game during warm ups. Person was not bad at all and was warned. Hard to be consistent apparently.
