Are the stars players away at National camp this weekend?

The main reason they are on national tram is because of JD. They are both very good players but JD is assistant coach of that national ream and he gets them on it to make Stars program look good and recruit players to his program. There are number of kids in Stars who can go along with kids form other programs but its who you know and are you one his favorites

breakers/nefc u17

Breakers played Maclean and Casl and they are fierce competition and didn't lose. Teams that have great players including 5-6 commits to unc. For me breakers 00's and stars 01's are the estrongest in the state.

we are the best team in the ne! we will win the ne div of ecnl this year stars do not have a chance against us!!!!!!

Stars 2000 got demolished this week.

Their only win was against a weak FC Virginia team 2-1. Tds initially had them ranked 4th in the country. They have since dropped to 7th. After this weekend they should be in the teens.

Breakers 17's lost 6-1 in the last match. Ouch!

Wow...ahaha. They posted the wrong score and you showed your true color. Amazing how many people are in stand by ready to bash this team.

Laughable since a U17 Breakers parent obviously set up this thread to bash Stars. (Any guesses who?) First thing said about your team and other people have shown their true colors? U17 and you still are trolling. Time to let it go. You don't like JD and your daughter should be on the national team. We get it.

Sad part about club soccer is it is set up to cater to that in any number of positions on the pitch. Can't blame any kid for perfecting what they are taught.

Exactly right. The emphasis on winning is a stench that never fades. Look at this thread as exhibit A. These are showcase games with newly assembled teams and the posters are going nuts as if it really matters. Virtually all of the top players on both teams are committed, and good coaches will play those uncommitted ones a lot more than usual.

All this talk on this other threads about GDAP and Ellis and the state of the game reiterates the fundamental issue. It's all about wins and losses to so many. As a coach the easiest thing they can do is go for the win - make sure your best players get the bulk of the time and get the ball to the best player and let them do their thing. That's how we got to place we are.

One thing about wins and losses, is that it provides some insight that uninitiated parents use to gauge a team's relative strength. Is it unreasonable for a parent to assume a winning team has better players?

Very good point. Funny how the teams with better players seem to win more than they lose.

The winning v. Development argument is so overanalyzed. They are not mutually exclusive. And GDAP is going to be a flop. Look at ussf's track record and tell me when they've ever done anything right. Couple that with ecnl's proven success with getting girls into college programs. Why would anyone switch? The only places I can see GDAP succeeding is in geographically desirable areas where there isn't already an ECNL club.

Really?? Are we really going to beat this ECNL dog into the ground yet again? The ECNL was nothing but a cesspool of everything that is wrong with youth soccer. All the ECNL clubs did was steal players from other clubs and there little or no actual development done by them. That is precisely why USSF repudiated it.
