As kids get older, boys teams don’t want to play girls. Boys parents don’t want girls practicing with them. We have a local girl on a boys DA academy team. The team entered a Futsal tournament and at the door she was told she couldn’t play. No mixed gender teams in the tournament allowed. Every time my dd practices with the boys I openly hear the comments about how the boys won’t play hard against her. It’s not easy for girls to hop in with boys.
Agreed, it was a joke throw in. But I doubt it helps beach get in having blues directly competing with them along with slammers (not to mention that Liverpool is really trying to break into the market too).
I keep hearing that too. Let me ask you Poker god, do you think if Beach went to Lavers last June and said, "We want to be all in ECNL and play soccer monopoly with you and the other gangsters" that ECNL would have welcomed them to the ecnl family? Blues were in the idea position because of their brand and success. GDA tried to destroy Tad's top team before age change and then through all this BS, he still has #1 team in the country. Blues had both only because they won championships, period.
No idea. They tried to get in for a few years. But I think your question is flawed. One gangster went to another gangster to get away from another gangster. WHEN A CRIME IS COMMITTED IN HELL THERE ARE NO ANGELS AS WITNESSES.
I understand but I don’t think the boys teams have to be older or the best. Every few months a guy being a complete prick will make a comment about how the WNT lost to 14 year old boys. If 14 yr old boys can beat the WNT I almost certain any girls team could regularly find boys 13 and under to play them if they are good. Not only that, oftentimes the mom’s of the boys are cheering loudest for the girls when the play well. I see it all of the time in Mexico. One of my favorite moments was when a “machista” dad made his crying son congratulate my daughter after a game.
So true. Each girl is different and I watched first hand how playing with boys helped two super girl goats. My dd would never play with the boys but maybe would after HS is over. She takes them on all the time and has schooled a few JV players. She's a handful and the boys are still trying to figure her out.
Reading all these comments about the Blues is informative. So, I predict in the new future Blues will offer a professional pipeline to Xolo’s for their top players. I think when I saw all those Blues families at Estadio Caliente that was the beginning of something much bigger!
Yes, girls play younger boys in scrimmage all the time. Usually within the club. Our club does this regularly. An older girls team cannot get regular league competition with boys.
Exactly. I think this is more important for development than the league and the reason the WNT does it for practice. They girls can play in the weakest leagues in the world as long as they consistently scrimmage boys.
They already did that three years ago and it failed. What a mess of division in soccer in America.
legends will play beach 12 times a year?
no. but Legends and Beach should play Quakes, Dallas, Lonestar, Galaxy, Albion, and Houston once or twice.
