Don't get all heated, those are volley goals. Just enjoy the video, since you haven't see it performed by female players. Is his the lace down volley goal you are posting about. Like Rose LaVelle did in the 44 second in this video. She even struck the ball on the ground like the men do.

Do you know the definition of a side volley?
 
A side volley is when you hit the ball on the side, and swing your hips across it, pointing your toe like you would in any sort of shot, so as to prevent it from going wild above the bar. And I don't say that because it doesn't happen. I comment on her technique and admire the idea and nerve to try it... as well as several other people I know. Don't bring her sex into in because you don't know mine and therefore can't assume I'm only saying what I'm saying because she's female. How could it be a SIDE volley if her foot is under the ball?

Side volley, foot below the ball volley, foot above the volley....1st strike volley goal is a 1st strike volley goal. Nobody says, WOW that was a side volley goal by a female player, except you.

BTW I don't know about you, but the side volley goal in minute 2:44 is as impressive as any male doing it.

I know what it is, it's like a baseball swing and the leg is the bat. I use to do a shooting drill like that with my DD and yes she said it's hard as hell and still is. IMO, she isn't athletic enough to execute it, but that is okay.

Oh look a spoof URL, that's one club right there

"2. Pats will not allow Academy team players to play HS soccer. The Academy II players can play HS soccer"
  • He said that at the recent GDA meetings, the Academy II teams were sanctioned (I think that was the word he used) by US Soccer. Not sure what that means but I suspect it is good.
"DA II league is happening based on meeting in Chicago and all but 4 SoCal teams have agreed that second club tier will be DA II -vs- ECNL"

Could go on and on about all the marketing nonsense that's been posted so much material.

" All d2 players can be considered DP,s

" Easily moved from d2 to da"

"D2 teams will play with the da same day & venue vs other D2 teams"

"Da Showcases will include D2 teams"

Tell us which of any of these are not misrepresentations.

Tier 1 or equivalent: playing in x leagues would have been fine like the other clubs used but this other alternative "name" deal is more nothing more than use of fictious or sounds like marketing spam.

I call BS, I paused the side volley goal at the 2:44 and 2:45 frame. Her foot wasn't under the ball. Matter of fact, the ball had no spin on it and was struck "straight" into the net. It even look like she struck the top half of the ball with her laces and has top spin on it.

The goal doesn't look much different than a Suarez side volley goal in minute 1:01 and replay afterwards.

But what I'd like to know is: Do the coaches have B licenses or E licenses or are they parent volunteers?

Mahrez, don't waste your time. The kool-aid some posters have drank is to strong.

Yawn, my stepfather grew up playing in the Borussia Dortmund (Germany) youth system until U18....my next door neighbor played for the Honduras National team and both shared with me their experience and how those countries ID players. Next!

How do the Philippines ID players? Isn't your DD in that player pool? ;)

Thanks for asking, actually my DD received an official invite to tryout for Sr Philippine National team 2 weeks ago. To bad the tryouts are this week in the Philippines and we have to foot the bill for her airfare. If she made the squad she would have to remain there for another 5-6 weeks for training and the Asian qualifyer for the 2019 Womens World Cup. To much of a conflict with HS, since she is a Sr and will graduating in May and currently working on her college conditioning and strength packet.

Oh you ask how do they ID players, easy they identified her at a camp in the US when she was U14 and have been keeping track of her ever since.

This is all I can tell you - based on what I know and I am often wrong.

1) The US Soccer website makes no mention of 2021 and says they have to be "B" or above.
2) One of the teams that bailed from GDA could not afford the coaching changes
3) The reference to 2021 showed up by a club website and I have been told they are wrong by another club coach.

Who the fack knows.
