Do you like this volley skill goal by Alex Morgan

And to add more shine. A video of women volley goals. Enjoy....

A large majority of those are still under the ball rather than the side, aren't straight shots, rather mostly "rainbows". Of course no disrespect to the women in these videos. But that's sweet of you to go and find videos for me that don't prove you point. And Morgan's goal, also a pivotal point in women's soccer, it was obviously amazing - but the goal itself wasn't.. nevermind you can't see what I see, I respect that, I'm leaving this alone now. Do you see up until recently, the talent pool internationally for women's goalkeepers wasn't adequate? That also allows in some goals that otherwise wouldn't be, the volley I'm talking about, not matter who the keeper was, had it been on target, would have gone in. It would have been a goal that required skill, power, and class. That's all I meant to say

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

Another one:

"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.
