G2010...How is the 2021 season going?

[TestFather]

I think you hit the nail on the head. Futsal is perfect for young children’s soccer development. Teaches them to think fast, share the ball and work in tight spaces. Both Blues and surf 2010 teams play futsal. And maybe this is why they are currently ahead of the pack. Well we can say that the surf team was always special. The young sdsc team from 2018 was special from inception and they had always posses the ball better than any other team in the age group. The Blues team is not the same as the old Blues team and they seem to have followed the same path as the surf players with futsal. Just think about how many more touches these kids are getting with futsal that others don’t get with just soccer. More time on the ball equals faster development.

For younger age, I agree that Futsal will help kids to think and react fast. But in older age, Futsal may not work. I have seen really good Futsal players struggling in soccer, as they are stuck playing in that small space, keeping possession but not able to look past the 20 yards space. My son's team has a kid that is phenomenal Futsal player, he was in ODP but not able to progress to MLS Next teams as his view is stuck in the small space, keep trying to dribbling around and not passing the ball.

I was told that the secret sauce at Blues is futsal. A lot of the young teams play on the same futsal team and obviously same club team. I would think of this as a cohort. No doubt there is a ton of talent on the field and the coaches are great. But futsal is a major component. Takes a huge time commitment. I'd assume playing basically on 2 teams and traveling about 5-6 times a week for practice/games to keep up with that demand.

I'd ask if you guys think player or parent burnout will happen to a certain percentage of these girls in another year or 2? Injuries as well as they are getting older.

Christmas week. No games. And ‘most everyone already knows about futsal.

Might get interesting as State Cup gets closer. Or if everyone goes to ECNL AZ. So far, Eagles, MVLA, Heat, and PDA are going.

Will be interesting to see how many of these kids actually last playing playing until they age out. Only ones who will remember success at this age will be the same ones dragging their kids all over town for another practice. Burn out and injury's around the corner because that type of demanding schedule leaves no time for the body to rest and recover. Throw 6 hours of school plus home work into the equation and its a recipe for failure. This goes with out even talking about finding time for for injury prevention training and 8-10 hours of sleep each night!!!

Sports are a marathon not a sprint.

Full time job brother, even if half or all it is paid for. Looking back the last 11 years and i can see the burn out, injuries, no rest, mid terms and finals, travel and rest. Crazy how were teaching the great game of soccer.

So, the moral of the story is to know your child and to manage your child. When you sense they need a break, take a break. Watch for overuse injuries and have a second sport that is pure play and not competitive. We are at the point where a lot of parents played the game and should know these things either by experience or by reading and other peoples experience. The problem of child burnout is a symptom of a bigger problem, that of parents desire for the thrill of victory (which is addictive, I know) and clear vision of how to make soccer both joyful and sustainable. That is how you maximize your kids potential and enjoyment.

The victory for many parents is for the kid to go to college and play soccer. Victory is nice u13 and under. The last three years was a big mess caused by a few who wanted the spot light and all the glory. I will add its new year and time to put the water under the bridge once and for all

Surf definitely has the potential to be #1, along with beating out Solar. The new additions to the team are the other set of original SDSC twins. The GK from Rebels and another SDSC who played up on the 09’ team. Their roster is 19! They did not cut any players. You pretty much have the SDSC 2010 Navy team back together. Surf played up in the U13 Surf Challenge and won beating LA Surf 09 GA in the final 3-1 PKs.

Glad to see that SDSC Navy team back! Got the pleasure of watching them team our team how to play when we faced them in a tournament in 2019. They were something special to watch!

19 is a big number for first year 11v11. It'll be intresting to see how they manage playing time to keep the big dogs happy. Lots of clubs would gladly snatch up any of their disgruntled players.

19 is way to0 high for first year 11v11. Not enough minutes to go around. I remember a papa bear ran across the field after his "goat" didn't start. She was one of the top players on the team but she missed practice so the coach said, "you miss practice, you don;t start." Papa left the team and found a coach who only cares about winning and let's the big dogs skip practice anytime they want. Every coach is different but all the parents are the same; they pay to watch their kid play, not sit on the bench at 10 years old. That sucks!! The customer pays thousands to see them play

 

[dad4]

19 means the average kid is sitting for a half hour every game. That’s a lot of bench time.

Of course, they can probably add scrimmages to add minutes for bench players. There’s a long line of teams who want to play against surf..

This type of mentality is the problem with youth soccer. Put another way, a parent feels that their kid doesn't need to go to practices + should start no matter what. The justification is that they paid $$$ and for some reason their $$$ is worth more than the $$$ paid by other parents. Did the parent contact the coach before missing practice to address before not attending? Most coaches are ok with not attending sessions if made aware before.

Regarding Surf taking 19 It's likely that CB doesn't trust a couple of players and wants options if they don't work out. This will create competition for minutes which overall will push players to bring their best at all times. The downside of 19 is that the parents will go into double time with the social games.

First off, my dd played for one of the top female coaches in the world and he said, "I play the best players so we win and no practice is required to start and play the whole game." We had one player that was the best at the time and her parents both worked 60 hours a week and lived one hour away. She came to practice when she could but on Saturdays and Sundays, she was at the games because the parents weren't slaves on the weekend. My kid had another coach that told everyone, "you miss practice, you sit. I dont care if your MJ, you miss one of MY practices, you dont play, period!!!!" That is fair too but I bet you this bro. If I offered Coach Hard Nose $10K to win that one game, I bet you he brings his best to that game, regardless of who was or not at practice that week. I can see both side of the argument being right and wrong. It all depends on the truthful reasons of each player and coach. Frankly, I want to win the match. Practice is just practice. I want to win the game and not be some coach teaching a life lesson with $10K on the line. The lesson is, "win the match."

 

[SoccerFan6]

Per ECNL rules, a max of 18 can be on the game day roster. That means if everyone is there and healthy, one girl won’t get to suit up. Common practice for older ECNL years, but not the best situation for the first year.

So you're paying 10K for a win? I like gambling + completely understand the action your trying to incentivize.

Since ethics are out the window it might be cheaper to pay the other teams coach to lose.

I dont have any money to bet. This was more of a parable bro or analogy. If money "was" on the line, then you play for win and get your best out there. My kids coach was attacked by parents who felt it was his job to "develop" the players who came to practice and the not the other way around. I see both sides on this. I play for win bro all the way. Grandpa on my wifes side is the same way. Win baby!!!

 

[Ellejustus]

Plus Carlsbad 7, this is all talked about to all parents before you sign 12 months of your kids youth away. "I play to win and you dont have to come to practice." Coach has all the money. No payment plan and no refunds. Roster of only 16 players bro, with two GK. Every kid got play time, no one stayed on the bench. When playoffs came, coach told parents, "all bets are off and I play my best so we win. I'm the coach and I play to win."

Definitely a really risky move for Surf. Many of those girls are game changers and can change the direction of what ever team they play for. Hopefully all goes well. It'll be intresting to see how it is handled. Having one girl not roster at 11 years old can be stressful for all involved.

Watched them for a bit this weekend and they looked great especially against tougher competition. Didn’t notice an overly large bench but maybe just missed it.
