World cup has a very strong u10 girls team as well. They are going to play in Maple somewhere. They played up in tournaments last year and won or went to the finals in many. Good to know there is some strong competition out there. My daughter is not on that team.........just wanted to add that so the critics can save their time.

They appear to be a very good team.........still don't know what is wrong with discussing that a team looks good........it wasn't like the OP said they were going D1 or anything....

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post"Looking special" at 8 or 9 years old is just funny to me. I'm sure they are a strong little team. Good luck to them... I just think think that you are opening yourself up to criticism when you proclaim 9 year olds as special soccer players on T-S. You (or the OP) had to expect that, no?
My daughter played on U11 team last year and they played a U10 Stars team that I would say was "special" they moved the ball around like 12 year olds. so for that age I would say it is appropriate.
To your point, I agree you have to be careful with any and everyting you say here

This past fall and spring they lost to local town teams in Granite State age appropriate. They must have added several new players to their roster. Top team at World Cup (which I believe played a year up in both fall and spring) was head and shoulders better than that team last year. Much more team speed and skill.

I hope those parents who buy into what Premier soccer clubs are selling them will not be doing it at the expense of other sports their daughter could be excelling/having fun at. There is something to be said for playing multiple sports and then beginning the specialization process as a teen.
This is the path Alex Morgan took as a young girl. It is from Alexmorgansoccer.com.
"Very active at a young age, Alex participated in several sports until she was 14 years old. Traveling from soccer practice to basketball practice to softball, volleyball, and track, Alex was a multi-sport athlete well into her teenage years. She did not begin playing club soccer until she was 14 years old; several years later than most players who go on to reach the elite levels of the sport. Although she didn't have the level of experience her teammates embodied when she started, her talent exhibited that she could be an impact player immediately."

Parents, please keep this all in perspective. They have many years of sports, or not, ahead of them. Small sided soccer is designed to get touches on the ball and development. It is not about standings. A lot will happen between now and college. There is always a better team out there. At this age level they are still more interested in the post game snack. Half the time they do not even know who they are "versing." 6 months from now you should not know what the standings were the past season or the results of indoor games. Please keep it fun for the kids. The kids are outside running around with their friends. Do not let your adult competiveness ruin the experience.
