Let’s be fair and say that yes they are successful at the young age group because they recruit top athletes but to say they don’t have a strategy or don’t know soccer is unfair as well. Like I mentioned, I personally think Tim Kelly is a great coach, he knows how to move his players around and his players understand the direction he gives them on the sideline and are able to execute the plan of attack. That’s soccer IQ at the age level. Wether they don’t practice possession soccer or like to play out the back is a style of English soccer they have adopted to use. And in the olders they don’t have a big enough talent pool as the teams down south do and they lose players to Real So Cal. Which by the way have now fallen under my shit list.
After hearing what one of their coaches said about me to our coach and things discussed on this thread. Really gave me a bad taste towards that club now. I told our coach the honest truth and to come here and read what I say. Got nothing to hide. I’m honest to say I don’t agree with his game plan all the time during games but I can’t say that he hasn’t developed our players or done a great job with their progress. But the fact this real SoCal coach did that to me after they scouted my DD and wanted to recruit her next year for their so called 2010 super team. I got news for them. It ain’t gonna happen. She ain’t coming next year to their 2010 super team. I will make sure the other top players won’t go either. So if they are lurking here like @Dominic says they do. Pass the news...
TK is highly overrated. Has good little teams for the first year and a half because he gets strong players who win tournaments on talent and by the end of the second season they’re running out the door looking for new clubs or coaches.
