Can we just talk about soccer pleaseBro. Forget Surf’s results. Is it just me or does every team have a kid named Connor, Tucker, Hunter or Ryder? Is that a Surf requirement?

just a joke.Can we just talk about soccer please
question on the legends. the 05 coach did a solid job improving that 05 team over time, but didn't see the same kind of improvement/performance from the other Legends teams. any thoughts on why?In the IE, rumors are that Murrieta Surf has infighting over fees going up. Arsenal should improve as their DOC took over the 07s. Heard there are rumblings at Legends. Hector is back coaching 06s and rumored to bring some talent so figure that will draw attention to FCGS. Will it improve their 07 group?
(Just rumors before some Surf affiliate parent gets mad at me. Lol)
The usual round of “we’ll grace you with our talent if you pay our fees, gas and expenses” ODP kids circulating through various tryouts.
Probably a few shuffle between but I don’t predict major changes in players.
Do the kids really pray before games?My favorite part of the game.. The boys come together in prayer for the team, their opponents and for (of course) victory.
A couple of more practices and brake time. Summer is here. I am not sure about all of you, but I know that after 11 months my son is ready for a bit of a break. I know after a week or two he will want to get his foot back on the ball. Big changes. 11v 11, full field and a number 5 ball. We have been really blessed. More wins then losses, great parents and coaches who want to teach our kids the beautiful game. A couple of our kids had gotten a bit busted up and are in our prayers. My son ended up in the ER this season and spent a couple of weeks with the trainer but ended the season strong and healthy. Hope you all have a great break, a better summer and hope to see you all soon.
Do you think this might make non-religious kids feel uncomfortable? They either have to pretend to pray or stand out as not praying.Yes.. this is a spontaneous moment of worship started by the boys. Lots of different backgrounds coming together praying in their own way. I have asked my son about what they pray for...A good game, good health for BOTH teams, and as I mentioned in my earlier post...a little help with the outcome.
The circle breaks up with a three count then GALAXY!

Just saying... the idea of "let's all make each comfortable means I can't be me" is a logical fallacy. What if we teach religious kids to treat non-religious kids with respect and what if we teach non-religious kids to treat religious kids with respect? Then... no one is uncomfortable. Rather than one side get their way at the expense of the free expression of another side...
lol
Your kid is free to "be me". The issue is when he (or his teammates) assume that others want to be the same. Someone saying a personal prayer is one thing, but as soon as the kids huddle up to pray, the assumption is that prayer is the norm. A non religious kid has to either stand out for not praying or pretend to pray. That's... unhealthy.Just saying... the idea of "let's all make each comfortable means I can't be me" is a logical fallacy.

The 05 coaching style is different from the 07's. Lots of discrepancies between what the coaches want to do and what the DA is asking for. The 07 team relied heavily on pounding the ball forward and hardly played a possession game, building from the back. It was obvious that there was a huge separation from the "A" team and the "B" team and thus evident when they played. The "A" team would get coached (mostly during big games ie, Galaxy, TFA, LAFC) then for the "B" team, well that's when the coach would sit out and just watch. Noticeably different approaches to both teams. If a kid did well enough and got to play with the "A" team from the "B" team, there was absolutely no chemistry and the struggles were evident. That I believe has to do with the coaching during the week, constant separation and it showed. There was only a few times that the team was truly divided into two equal groups. Not much progress there.question on the legends. the 05 coach did a solid job improving that 05 team over time, but didn't see the same kind of improvement/performance from the other Legends teams. any thoughts on why?
At least, Sporting KC is missing... any others?here's end of season u12 national ranking.
Thanks for the heads-up. Double-checked and SKC didn't have a u12 competing in the u12 DA season. No others missing.At least, Sporting KC is missing... any others?
