I'm curious to know if anyone watch this team play. All I know is that they were newly promoted to classic 1 and they beat teams at these level pretty bad at the Atlanta cup. Also, this team won heir first 2 games by a combined score of 15-2. Anyone know what makes these team so good. Any comments are welcome. Its weird how a newly promoted team is destroying teams this early.

These kids eat, sleep and breath soccer. Seriously. They've also probably played together from a very young age. Starting on the sidelines while watching their fathers and older siblings play. We had a Dalton boy come play with our club team last year. He was our very best, a rock star if you will. We watched his middle school team play and they were so good he was second string! The talent that comes out of Dalton is incredible, especially if you know that most of these boys have had very little formal training. They play with passion and flair, instinctively, while our club boys play like trained puppies. With all due respect to the club kids and parents of course (we are a club family as well) but it's the truth.

Ringgold Roadrunner from Dalton (made up of 02/03's ) last year started Cl III in the fall and went undefeated moved up to II and came in 2nd - if this is made up of some of the same kids showed that they deserved to be in I this year well above a few other teams that made it in that don't have the same talent. Is this the Dalton team you are referring to now? Dalton High School soccer is some serious stuff.. so I don't think when you have a team from there you can say that you cannot explain how a newly promoted team could be so dominating. Firstly, GA soccer when ranking them low didnt get it right and two.. it's an area filled with a serious program. I have to disagree though with the argument that the kids eat, sleep, and breath soccer. There are plenty of kids who do that and are not recognized as talented.

They are good, we played them in the Atlanta cup and they beat us down 6-1 but hey we are only C3, they have a left forward that is a man. Fast powerful, size, and a lot of skills. The rest of the team is skilled at every position. Some C1 teams should not be in C1. GSA tied them 0-0 yesterday so not as good as those other teams made them look. Maybe those teams should not be in C1, also Dacula beat them in the Athens Cup 3-2 last month. DSC is C2. Big fast defenders can them down.

Quick update for you. They're playing in the region iii championships and have won all three games with 10 goals for, 1 against. They're killing it as always.
We left our club and joined CFA (different age group) for the upcoming year and are excited to see how things go. CFA is a very new club and we expect some bumps as far as organization and such (no overpaid admin to help push paper for them) but I think it's going to be a great year from what I've seen so far!

For all the admins out there - I'm going to take offense at that "overpaid admin" comment. Go ahead and volunteer to be a TM. Better yet, go ahead and learn the complicated system used for administrative purposes for GA Soccer. Be an admin around State Cup / tournament time / team declaration time / opening day. I believe you'll be singing a different tune. Phones and emails blowing up. Personal time?? Non-existent. Unfortunately, paperwork is a just another thing that must be dealt with if you want to participate. Herding cats comes to mind. On the other hand - I hope your son enjoys next season!

I apologize for offending anyone and I promise I'd rather clean porta toilets with my tongue than be a TM Seriously! I'm just a bit bitter about the situation at our previous club regarding finances and overhead and that came out in my post. Apologies all around to the hard working admin and volunteers that really do make things happen.

My son's team played them last year and got murdered... 4-0 or 5-0 against a team that wasn't half bad and won their division in spring once these guys promoted. Great team. Big and fast kids playing decent style soccer. They had no business ever playing Classic III or even Classic II. Hope they do well going forward when up against more appropriate level competition. Looks like 03s are now in SRPL premier division. .. Anyone know what makes these team so good. Any comments are welcome. Its weird how a newly promoted team is destroying teams this early. I can add to this a bit now that we've experienced the Dalton teams and training first hand other than as competitors on the field. Several of our club boys, each with at least 4-5 years of club soccer experience, went to their tryouts. I can honestly say they were at a disadvantage. Our boys couldn't even perform the warm ups! The training is quite different from anything they have ever experienced. Simple stuff really that they had never done before but could make a huge impact on the field. The boys seem to enjoy each session and I could see that they wanted to be there which is also a new experience. The competition for positions on their teams is fierce and I imagine that also keeps the boys playing their very best.

Simple stuff really that they had never done before but could make a huge impact on the field. Like what? Baseline competitions between the entire squad which refines touches and handling as well as team building which is so very important. Juggling, dribbling, etc.. Typically, our experience has been to jog and stretch then play 7v7 for a bit then shoot on the goal. I was extremely impressed with the existing players skills and excited to see our boys challenged. It's quite refreshing actually

Did CFA Dalton lose any of the 03 players to AU?
