No, I'm an accountant. I wear this f'n thing as a fashion statement, alright?

First one was great, was the second one any good?

Haven't seen it.

Hahaha, if I had the honor I would! Appreciate you thinking of me though! Just driving around like every other parent from session to session picking up some cones and balls along the way. A lot of great people in our soccer community!

Man U through up a lob tonight UKnowMe. It's all in fun. Enjoy your sense of humor....now go get your f***** shinebox.

Back at ya! I really enjoy contributing when I can. Unfortunately, the forum doesn't have enough transparency for me at times aka ghostriders. More of a visual guy, like to know who is talking to me and to whom I am speaking with. After all uknowme, no ghost here. Talk it, walk it, right or wrong. That's just the way I am. Now get me that Shinebox!

Hope everyone has a great super bowl! Good luck to everyone playing this weekend! Watch out for Bad Santa not sure he can be trusted!

PM me if you have some good squares going. I like the numbers 0, 3, 4, 6, 7!!!

alright BING got one for ya, what movie, "fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life". Hint the same movie as "was it over when the germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Nothing is over until we decide it is!

SWISH!

Ok admittedly I caught about 30 minutes of the movie ground hogs day today!

In addition to It can be a challenging predicament for a coach when you play with first team players in this environment and the results are marginal or less than. Then what?

Like that your back to the action UKNOWME...Throwing Stones again.

So I assume your speaking to Byers bringing in your Solar Red players and still getting beat? Who really cares? Its about the touches correct? Sure those few players who assisted aren't always use to playing with that team. Takes time to gel right?

I doubt UknowMe is talking about his own club/team, since they all know who he is.  But here is Mr. Transparency's chance to just say it.  

Who exactly are you calling out Friendo?

Another great avatar Courtney gains, funny stuff! Can't buy me love (I think).

Your right I am all about the extra touches in the right environment. I have a lot of respect for families and players looking for and taking the extra touches for means of development.

What I am not an advocate of is a coach that continuously attempts to or takes top players from the top team and plays "down". If it is a case of maybe some players that don't get enough PT on that first team (JDL Players 10-14) or touches in a game scenario I think it is a good idea. Other than that I simply don't.

What is the benefit to a top first team player? Some extra touches can be argued yes. But what is the quality of them and what is the quality of the environment? What is the risk of injury?

What is the benefit to the team? As I have previously mentioned these players and teams may need some extra time to develop hence participating in this tournament. When you bring in other players it takes away from the goal and development of the team, it becomes counterproductive IMO. It also sends the wrong message to the team, club, market, and to the parents that pay this coach to develop THEIR player. You may be able to pacify or fool parents with that ""coach"" getting that "trophy", for some time but I caution all for it will negatively effect the development of your player.

Conversely, 80% or greater of my extra touches for the last several years whether it be in training or game environment it has been playing up in 06B Gold or 05G Gold. We win some, we lose some, but man it is a battle and a great challenge! Placing players in a true environment of development, and I think they get better from it.

I would be in disagreement with any club, or coach doing something like this. So if the aforementioned coach is doing something like this then you know where I stand.

That's great, now that we know where you stand try answering my question in 3 words or less.

Didn't know about the 3 word rule sir/madam! Sorry if response was a lil 2 thorough.

In the last line of my reply I believe I answered your question.

Q: Who exactly are you calling out friendo?
A: "I would be in disagreement with any club, or coach doing something like this. So if the aforementioned coach is doing something like this then you know where I stand.

We all disagree with the our club/coach sometimes

Since you are transparent about your 06 soccer feelings, how and who would you rank the top 5 teams Pre-Spring season? Feel free to provide color commentary with each team.

Also, two other questions for you.

1) Should all teams begin monitoring goals/assists at this age?
2) Practice schedule for this age group? My thoughts below
1 full rest day
1-2 deload days (light juggling, footskills, etc.)
scheduled around everything else

I'll play.
Dts-makes some changes and gets better
Solar Springate-turns it up
Sting north-steady eddy
Tsn-same
Fever-falls a little

I saw that before, but you seemed to have your sights on one specific team playing this weekend so I was giving a chance to enlighten us all. Based on this last response I cjeakely need to move on.

Hey,

Courtney/bad santa/poacher/dumb dumb.

Top 5 picks are made. What are yours?

Are you starting with bottom 4 besides DTS?

courtneygains wrote:Are you starting with bottom 4 besides DTS?

You're right Dts teams usually do well for a few years before they start to implode.

Solar red and sting black left off your list. Not sure how you start a top 5 without those 2 teams. Sure your just looking to start red with others. Enjoy that.

Oops forgot about sting black. I usually just assume Springate, red and byars all share players and are kind of the same team.

Ha. Solar red doesn't bring other solar players over to play in their games.

Hopefully super group forms and destroys all 06 teams and rankings will not matter ever again in this age bracket.

I gotta run. Sephora and ulta about to close and I need to stock up for a friend.

Congrats to SG, nice group trending up!
