Pateadores Girls DA 03/04 - Observations

younothat said:
In SC we have enough quality girls players to do single calendar age groups, in the rest of the country not so sure?

The cost of each DA team is roughly double or more what a normal team run.

DA on the boys has more physical kids and some great technical ones as well compared to normal clubs.

Some with play a nice procession 4-3-3 syle and other won't; mostly kick & run

There are not enough "A" & "B" coaches who can qualify that want to or can coach girls DA.

3 combined teams each club is a very small group of players. If/when expansion happens for the girls DA (took 10 years for the boys) the program will have a bigger impact, until then some DA players will eventually make the YNT and the program will sell that success.

Nice having you here - good to have the first hand knowledge around!
 
There was a big difference in the intensity in the drills when the girls were split into 03/04 groups. The 03 girls were expected to compete and play fast during their drills. it appeared the 04 group was giving more instructions there for greating less intensity and pace during group drills/ play.

intensity for the players didn't drop. The coaching got more intense due to the fact the base wasn't there for some of the 03s. The woman coach pointed out mistakes that should not have been happening from a 03 club player. Now when they went to the SSG her focus was on the 04s. She was mining for diamond(s) and she was intense. At least that's the lie I saw.

I saw it but it could have been a lie. I saw a sparing match take place and it happen in 4 strides and a little something got inside of a bigger and faster player. Nothing big but she shielded the ball away. The pens hit the paper on that one. Trust we don't want physical at these tryouts .

Pats giving everyone a second chance to hand out their mixtape? I love the fact that forum members as far as L.A. are hearing about the tryouts and can't wait for the other OC clubs to announce their public get downs. "Study Long Study Wrong"
 
I got the email from NP yesterday and at first thought...."cool, my dd was personally invited back to another tryout". Then I realized that the announcement also appears on the Pats website, so it is just another cattle call.

I will be there and interested to see how many ECNL players show up to this tryout. While you may not be looking to leave your current club, don't you want options? I know I would if I were in your shoes.
 
My kids not in this age group, so no issue for me. But how many of your kids have been sick in the last few weeks? Glad we are worried about tryouts because some lingering cold has been passed around my house for too long.
Combine that with important tests at school and Christmas parties, how are your kids holding up?

Agree. That being said patience is a virtue there will be a ton of fallout. Lots have made ECNL teams but if they can get a free DA they are going there. Of course no one is telling the ECNL teams that one...I think we have a solid four more months of crazy so buckle up

Options are great to have....but with the current Ecnl season not ending until May-June time frame, is there a purpose to going to a Da tryout in December unless you are ready to commit to that Da right now? They won't wait 5 months to see if you will take their offer, right? Da tryouts for Ecnl clubs will be held in May b/c of the 5/1 date for current Ecnl players. With Pats and La Galaxy Da's being fully funded, maybe some families will sign early and forego their own Da's? For current Ecnl players with no Da, I think that you may see more of these players at early Da tryouts? Keep us posted babaooey. :)
