I heard from a parent that Solar Gold was a no show at these games. May want to confirm that to be sure.

That is correct. Our coach, Brian Armstrong, decided to quit the team that day.

Quit just the 05 team or all of the teams that he coaches?

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me to hear something like this happened with that coach (based on personal experience from a few years back).

He still has his '06's and I think '03's. We showed up to the morning game, but he wasn't there along with a few of the '06's that were helping us out. We found out later he had quit...this is after he begged his remaining players to stick with him for the fall and things would turn around...super guy!

Didn't the club that you send your dues to step in and help out? Isn't that why we join these big clubs?

He told us if we stayed we didn't have to pay dues for 3 months...and Solar North was no help at all.

No dues for 3 months and your surprised he walked on you? I don't know the guy, nor the situation, but I do know that coach academy is way to High maintenance for a coach to do it for free.

This is the coach that decided to put his 04 team into SDL Platinum last season, right? They had never played 11v11 and got killed in every game. Y'all are better off without him.

Yeah I think that team evaporated as well. To bad for those girls.

Are the weekly SDL scores posted somewhere or do you have to take someone's word for it?

SDL has never posted scores or standings (consistent with it being called the Super Development League)

Have to take people's word for it. My experience is that forum will usually do a pretty good job of calling out someone trying to report a bogus score... 

Or a 26-0 score. Hehe

I guess I just don't get it.  If not publicizing results and standings is superior Development, then fine.  BW, will you post them as you receive them?  They just don't ever show up on the 05 forum and some of us rankings nerds like to see what is happening out there.

I think the overriding philosophy of SDL is to make the league really just be a bunch of organized "friendlies" in the hope that by de-emphasizing scores/standing, coaches will be more willing to make decisions based on "development" (i.e. try out players in different positions, put weaker players in higher pressure game situations, work on a specific aspect of the game - passing/possession vs. dump-n-chase, playing out of the back instead of booting it high-and-wide at every chance, etc.) without worrying so much about scoreboard outcome. Whether or not that is actually accomplished is a different story.

I'm open to posting a summary of SDL scores/records, but honestly, the '05's do not do a very good job of reporting SDL game scores to me. The other age groups have done pretty well as a whole, so I'm not exactly sure why the '05's are different.

Maybe so, but SDL is sure proud of their product based on the rates they charge.

Agree, if it is "Friendly" like, why wouldn't they just axe the refs and let the coaches ref it. That way they could save the cost of refs (which I hear are subject anyway) and lower the cost of the league.

Just an idea...

and they could hand out snacks to all the kids after their games too

Because there's a difference between a "friendly" and a scrimmage.

Oh man, I am in...seriously!  There is nothing wrong with building the tunnel for the girls to run through and handing out snacks afterwards.  In all reality, they are still kids and deserve to have a little fun.

...and if you're not happy with it, don't sign up to play. From where I'm standing, SDL doesn't exactly hold a monopoly on providing league play for NTX academy teams.
