How’s the 2023-24 season going?

Per ECNL rules if you sign for playoffs you have to play with that team the next year. You could always play in a different organization though or probably drop mid season again and leave for another ECNL team with a better shot at the championship.

Those rules and agreements aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. I knew of a player who was on 3 ECNL rosters in the same season and played GA.

What about for a discovery player? Thats what I was told she is signed up as.

Discovery player can be someone who floats around each week and can be the difference maker for that game. Per my source, these types of discovery players are hard to come by and she will be utilized each week. For example, maybe the discovery player needs to go out and just score some goals that game so she will be play with her age group that day. Then maybe the next week she needs to work on challenges with bigger players, so she plays up two ages that week. I love it. Come playoff time, she will be used for best fit. "Come discover the wonders of our club, become a discovery player."

Any rostered NL player can do that. Don’t need to be discovery.

In the old days of ECNL, the Discovery player helped a club in socal win the Natty. She didn't practice at all, just showed up to the best games. Without her, know way they win the Natty. She would fly in and go ball.

I just checked my sources. Blues is prob going to lose the majority of their starters according to my sources. Blues made it to Virginia last year very true. This year they may not make playoffs and for the first time ever that team has a negative goal differential. According to my sources last season they lost one of the top playmakers in the age group and she went to Koge but that team was still able to stay competitive and make it to Virginia cause they had the other top playmaker in the age group. The player that Murf referred to as the straw that stirred the cup on that team. Once she left end of season that Blues team offense fell apart hence a negative goal differential tells you that they are not creating the scoring chances like they did prior year. No way they make Virginia this year and if they are lucky to stay in third and make playoffs they will just be wasting parents money. If my daughter was on that team, I’d be praying not to make playoffs to save my 5k. Worst thing is to go to playoffs and waste money and time. While Blues are not bad defensively, offensively they have fools gold and can’t produce. Regarding Legends they show 24 on roster but have like 6 girls out due to injury. I’m sure there will be adjustments to that roster soon. If you look at their roster now they have added 1 Blues player that was a starter and that mid from Blues last season who Murf referred to as the straw that stirred the cup. Legends could be a top contender next season especially if they pick up the the remaining Blues starters and possibly this season the Cinderella team of the playoffs that has a strong chance to possibly make Virginia.

That's why they play the games!!!
 
Hey mates! Jimmy here back from the land of dodgy doctors and even dodgier painkillers! Took a tumble and lost a leg in the process, but hey, at least I can still barrack from the sidelines, eh?


These parents here are going at it like it's the World Cup final! Settle down, chuck another snag on the barbie, and let the girls have some fun! Sounds like the Blues are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard this season, and the Legends are all frothed up over nothing more than a cuppa tea. Let's see how it all washes out on the pitch, shall we? Might be hobbling there on a milk crate, but you can bet I'll be there cheering my voice hoarse!

That's because it's bigger than the World Cup Final. Our kids are playing! :p

Two interesting races to end the season. Surf/Koge for the top of Sonoran, and the Eagles/Beach contest for the last Mojave playoff slot. Have fun out there.

My prediction for this season is that one of the 2 best soccer playing style teams in the nation Surf or MVLA take it. My hope is the girls have matured, are now bigger stronger and that Koge’s physical advantage that they had last year will not be so dominant. If you limit the corner kicks and set play opportunities near the box for Koge, they will struggle as a soccer team. They are a soccer team with big & fast athletes but not many great soccer players except for their 1 mid that went to the USA national ID. She’s a complete soccer player.

What's your never to early predictions for 24/25 season for 10s? I know both of our sources are legit but not 100% right. My wife's niece is balling out in the IE. I will not give away the name, but she will be playing up with Legends from time to time.

You clearly haven't seen Koge play in a while. I do agree that Surf and MVLA play the best soccer around but saying koge has one complete soccer player is inaccurate. One player does not make a team at this level.

I've watched a few games this season. I do recognize an improvement in their ball movement. I think they have amazing athletes but 1 player that today has the potential to play on a youth national team. I do not see that from the rest. At least not yet. That's what I mean by a complete player. Plus I'm looking forward to a new team winning it this year. I have a biased towards teams that connect well together, they usually don't win early in the 11v11 stage but tend to do better over time. Nothing against Koge but they ate their cake last year already.
