SO funny the numbers on Rome. My son played against that team 2 years in a row and the refs never called offsides on Rome and it gave them 2 goals and called offsides on us and took away 2 goals. They were offsides by 10-15 yards each time. We were onsides by 5 yards both times. As I was leaving the fields I was venting and someone overheard me and asked what did I say. I told him that I couldn't watch that garbage anymore and would watch from my car and complained about the refs. He said that they know how the calls go at our home site and they were getting even. I think he said he was the assignor for Rome. Based on those numbers, I think it is quite obvious home cooking just doesn't even describe what is going on there.

Our team is a top U12 team and it was decided that we would only play select U12 teams playing 11v11 this season. The reason given was that our games against top U12 competition would be a better style of a game(passing) as opposed to playing older less skilled oppostion resulting in kick and run or just long ball. Actually I am happy our club made this decision.

I actually would have preferred 8v8 as well, more touches, but that is not the way things are going unfortunately. When your competitors are all doing it, you almost don't have a choice. If they get a year under their belts playing 11v11, then you will probably lose when you play them if you were playing 8v8 the whole time. Once you start losing, you lose all chance of making the top leagues, then parents\kids get disgruntled and leave and then you are left with a shell of a team. They should have had an 11v11 U12 bracket if they were going to let them play 11v11 at U12. I certainly understand u13's getting mad when U12's are taking their spots. I get it.

jash goteam: Jash I was responding to the opinion of the poster who said that the U12 teams did not belong. When they don't lose a game playing their own age group the entire season and through tournaments, that means that yes they do need more challenges. The U13 on the bubble for classic 2 probably would end up bottom of Classic 2. Those U12 teams who i quote are just "meh" would be in the middle of the pack in classic 1 if they played. Those U12 teams have played some decent U13 teams last season and won, and those teams are in classic 1. Can goteam state the same for his team. Goteam is pissed, but he should be more pissed at his club for promising something before they knew.
