Just curious. New to this whole thing. Daughter played in the tourny this weekend and she loved it. It is obvious when watching, the girls just want to play and could care less about rankings (or even know what they are!) I see so many posts about putting other teams down or discussions about how much better a team is than another. Really makes no sense when you look at the big picture.

Also...just curious how many parents commenting on this stuff have ever even played themselves and know what its like!

The Thing is, Rankings are Compiled by Parents who KNOW the Teams in Question...Most of the Parents Posting Rankings have Seen Most of the Teams they're Ranking...& Even w/the Expected BIASES Permeating the Site, the Top 5-10 '04 Teams, on Most Lists, are Legtimate...

Children May or May Not Know what Rankings are, but it Does WONDERS for them and their Teams Confidence, when they Beat a Squad that's Highly Regarded...

@ the End of the Day, this is COMPETITIVE Soccer...If it Really Didn't Matter, we'd All Be Content Dominating REC Leagues and just doing Skills Sessions...

Youth Sports: Can you please copy that and make it a separate post in our 04 group? I'd like to see a separate discussion on this and on a few things we can have our kids do at home to prevent injury.

Don’t kid yourselves… at this age group, most of the better teams are great because of recruiting. Very few out there that have developed their own players.

So continue on to some of the responses. Does this mean that the goal is to play the Academy soccer until a certain age and then go to Club soccer at a certain age, if accepted?

Academy soccer ends after the Spring season of U10G.

In U11G , your child either plays U11G Competitive, or U11G recreational. Academy is no longer an option.

In U6-U10, Academy is used to supplement recreational play. Over time, it has evolved to a point where it often takes the place of recreational play. Many/most "top" U6-U10 players no longer play rec at all, as Clubs really push Academy as the "way to go" to prepare your player for competitive/select soccer at U11.

I watched some games in the PSA league last weekend..There is some excellent talent on display there. The 2 Solar teams that played each other had some excellent athletes on both sides. That Solar team in Blue is one to watch for in the future. Several impressive players.

What Solar teams did you watch? There seems to be a few Solar teams playing PSA.

Do you know who won?
