Soooo many critics on here but what's new?

On blowouts, most top teams are already passing 3-5 times easily before shooting. The problem with trying to pass too much is that this can also look insulting to a team when the game degenerates into obvious keep away with no attempt to score. I have seen this and it looks worse than running up the score.

The best thing that can be done is to move forwards to defense and vise versa replacing the goalie with someone with no experience while playing non-starters more than usual.

The problem with scheduling is this:

There have been MANY new 04 teams added to the mix this season with little track record. Also, many 04 teams have moved leagues this season. There has been no solid ranking system for the 04s thus seeding goes by in large part the opinions of all coaches involved. This is obviously not a perfect system.

The only real solution is for teams to start gravitating to leagues they feel fit their skill level however, with so many new leagues and changes in leagues, there is not enough stability to make such judgments at this time.

As far as EAL goes, the top 5 will be very competitive with each other while the bottom 4 will not. The bottom 4 will however compete nice with each other.

I agree with you Shelby. There are many new 04 teams with little track records. Prime example, Xtreme 04G, Im sure they are many more. From my understanding, I was told, they just came from Rec and are just learning the game.

This is the first I heard of Xtreme at this 04 level. So based upon the ranking I saw, how can they be preseason ranked?? Is there more to Xtreme Alvarez 04G we dont know about? Wasnt ranking based upon the coaches or parents opinions?

Not letting EAL off so easy. They were given more than enough information to place the liverpool team correctly and chose not to use it. So far I am paying a fortune for an inferior product. (EAL fee plus the payoff to my local soccer association thug)

Yea. Not sure about that one. I was talking more about the 04 division. I agree they should have let RASE play Gold. Perhaps there was pushback from the other coaches... Not sure.

Many leagues will not allow a younger team to play up an age and in the gold division. SRSA '03 has only played up ONCE in the Gold division and that was in SDL a few years ago. Otherwise we continue to only play in Silver leagues. Not sure what EAL guidelines are.

Was not at the game, but was told it got a little tense?? A yellow card issued and the threat of red cards? 0-0 at half or something?

What was your take if you were there wingnunt?

but why wouldn't you compliment a child's development and abilities...whether it be the other team or yours?
