Agree with everything. My daughter loved her years playing high school, and there is nothing better than beating your rival HS and having the students lose their mind! Club games, it is only parents, just not the same. Wearing the school colors means so much more. I also imagine that with the loss of DA high school teams are going to be more competitive, and we you will definitely notice the lower level of play from those schools that don't have players on higher level club teams, especially on the girls side.

Being a Trinidad national, that was hard to watch last night. But if you heard, the Soca Warriors had no training time, and only met each other Friday!! Trinidad and Tobago is basically still shut down with nothing really going on, not even Carnival!! I thought it was good for the new coach to ascertain where to start with the team. The TTFA is is in such disarray and has been since 1990 and Jack Warner days.

Agree with all of this. My daughter played with a girl who was phenomenal attacking mid. Her dad was a coach at the same club and was relentless on her. Brought her to tears. During halftime our coach had a talk with her dad, his colleague, and basically said...at home she is yours on the field she is mine, if you continue to distract my player, you will have to leave!! We all applauded him! Dad was the big reason we think she stopped playing in 11th grade, even for high school.

We used to buy all our cleats at Lloyd's and they were the ones that told us about the return policy. Did not even need a receipt. We got 2 new CR7s this way.

Mu daughter used Nike, and they would accept her worn cleats and she would get a voucher for a new pair, even her CR7s!! Go to the Nike return/refund page. Adidas fit her feet to wide, as a striker she needed them to fit close.

2 large HBCU conferences cancelled their fall sports: SIAC and CIAA, which includes North Carolina AT, Morehouse, Albany State, Savannah State. These are big schools that play Divison 2 and impacts all other schools.

Following the thread, but so glad we are done with this part of our lives. Just praying that colleges will be open come August so my girls can go live their lives.
Good luck to everyone and I hope all are happy and safe with whatever decisions are made.

Most colleges have cancelled in person summer classes and only online offered. Orientation sessions are all online as well, I can't see them opening the dorms for soccer camp, when they are not even sure if they will be in session come the fall semester.

Last night should have been a scrimmage, usually only 2 refs, and sometimes for non-region games as well. Only region games count towards playoff berths, you should always see 3 refs at those games.
I would safely say in Gwinnett: Norcross, North Gwinnett, Mill Creek, Parkview, Brookwood, etc you are going to see club teammates play with and against each other. ECNL, Athena A and those that dropped DA.

She was really just burnt out. The 2 a day work outs were stressing her out with her workload and she is an honor student, and it wasn't worth the stress. She loved the girls on her team, including her roommate.
Also cannot stress enough how much fitness plays a part, all that running we complain about they need to be doing. She played through the scrimmages, but that was it. It was a difficult decision, but one we had to support, and the financial impact was minimal. She was on Zell Miller Hope scholarship as well has others.
She is playing on the club team with other players she played with and against during her club years as well as intramurals.

1) Wore team practice jersey, but always received a school jersey with a number to pin 2) Communicate before and after. Learned from one school that they had been to her state cup game and had notes on her already!! 3) Only did multi-school camps that the club sponsored. Went to specific school camps that had her major and atmosphere she was looking for.
Saying all that, she ended up at Georgia College and State this year, and before the first season game realized she was done with competitive soccer. Heartbreaking but she loves the school first, and is on intramural indoor and outdoor teams. Loves the relaxed play instead and can focus on her pre-nursing classes.

Had most success with contacts on SINC. Looked for coaches that were going to be at the tournament and sent information to them. Paid the $20 for the month to communicate and post schedules. ID camps are also the way to go, going to the schools that your child wants to attend for academics and environment important.

I watched the 2nd half, and Senegal was ready for the US. No creativity, same movements. When the US player got a straight red, that was the end. The ensuing free kick was a bullet that could not be stopped, and then the 4th goal was just sad. Senegal was not even supposed to be there, another African team got disqualified, and they were next up. It was pitiful.

Look at the rosters of the Division 2 schools in the state, they have some top notch players from in-state. They are also top scholars and many chose to go to the Division 2 school because they win.

This happened last year also. We never got our games played, but ended up with draws for those games. They were afraid of getting stuck on the road or somewhere without power. Smart move.

Yes, that is what composite is. They have a bracket on the ECNL website as well. Pretty much travelled same schedule as the main ECNL team, often at the same fields with the same college exposure. Just did not go to the big showcases which was fine for us, and our season was done before Christmas break.
