The U16 is a disgrace, and the parents were just as bad this weekend. They were encouraging dirty play and actually yelling and cursing at the players of the opposite team. Nothing but dirty ball from this club in the entire 7 plus years my daughter has played against them.

Go watch any D1 women's game and you'd be surprised just how physical those games get. The problem I see most of the times is that it's all good right up to the point where you get physicalled back and oftentimes the parents are the worst at remaining objective.
I was at a u15 game this weekend where a girl wearing headgear was playing extremely physical and aggressive ...some might say dirty (pushing from behind, going in hard on tackles, very recklessly at times) All the while, the parents are hooting and hollering praising her play. Well finally, the girl was yellow carded after about a handful of fouls/warnings. Not 5 minutes after she gets carded, she gets sandwiched by 2 players from the opposite team. On the way down she bangs her head on one of the opponent's knees and then on the ground. You should have heard those parents howl and scream begging for a red card. Ref hadn't even called a foul on the play. Moral of the story, if you're going to teach and encourage that type of behavior then don't get upset when it comes back to bite you.
A little postscript on the story. Come to find out the girl was just coming back from a concussion and that's why she was wearing the headgear. Which leads me to think, someone really ought to take the time to teach this girl how to tone it down a bit before she causes some really serious damage to herself or one of her opponents.

Look, Sunrise has to do something to make up for the talent drain and dip in recruiting lately. I guess they have decided that if you can't beat someone with superior skill and tactics . . . . beat them by beating them up!!!
Lord knows they aren't the only team in South Florida that does this. It's not usually a club edict though, normally it's a coach by coach phenomenon.

Our U14 girls crushed your so called number 1 team. So shut up and take it like a man.
Yes, Soccer is a very physical sport, but Sunrise does not play a physical game. It plays a violent game. You are hurting other players as well as your own. Disgusting.

A physical game is enjoyable to watch. It pushes both teams to their best. Watching 14, 15, and 16 year old girls spew profanity like a drunken sailor, inflict purposeful harm to a fellow player, and all while being encouraged by their parent hoard is disgusting. That is not soccer.
