I have a G02 and I agree that in hindsight 2007 seems a bit early, but truth be told, u11 is when the lunacy starts. Yes much will change but why shouldn't the parents have fun now?
In my experience the most noteworthy players today were also noteworthy then. A few late bloomers added and body-changers dropped for sure, but every one is ok. Enjoy the ride and welcome to the infection of talking soccer

"u11 is when the lunacy starts"
Meaning parents freaking out, thinking their kid's D1 scholarship is on the line every game and viewing every kid that is better as a threat?
If that's what you mean we've been seeing that since they were 7-8 play in town only.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEnjoying it is one thing. Ranking teams? Come on. They're ten years old. Puberty and the transition to an 11v11 isn't kind to some players. Key questions are: is your kid developing? Is your kid's team competitive - not winning all the time but keeping close against similarly talented teams? Does your coach play your player in multiple positions? Is you kid in the car ready to go to practice before you even tell them it's time, or are you practically dragging them to events. Enjoy the games but don't get caught up in the rest.

Teams stay on top. What do you think? They are going to get worse? Or the bottom teams are going to miraculously improve over the next few years to rise to the top? Sure that could happen but only if they acquire better players along the way.

Aztec 8- Galway 0
Galway 2- NEFC South Shore 2
As far as summer tournaments go, there are always players on vacation and the teams can be mixed groups. The regular season will be a better test of how these teams will compete.
