Agreed regarding players moving its their choice to play with any club they choose within their district. The district though can make it tougher for entire teams including coaches from shopping around looking for a better offer. As a single player if you switch clubs and didnt go to evals you...

I understand , I was more referring to the fact that there tends to be alliance among those that stem back to the summer soccer. Correct me if I am wrong but i believe the summer soccer roots go back to various temples thus the alliances... all the power struggles seem to come back to the...

The grass is always greener on the other side until your on the other side. One can argue that while private academies may offer what appears to be higher quality coaching ,at the end of the day greed rules them as well.... if its not wins, its money... The community of Newton is unique, its a...

I believe east but the geography doesn't hold up to that. Simpy its just dividing a 30 team div into 2

AS LTPD no scores or standings are kept up to U12 regardless of level of play. Scores are watched for U11 and U12 behind the scenes as @easoccer said for tiering purposes only.

The key is honest evaluation of the teams prior to season and coach feedback through out. And honesty is the toughest part of it all, with egos and such getting involved. With that look at the schedules and you will see a lack of balance among each division , this is a result of clubs pushing...

There is no perfect system. I had a U11 team put in Div 1 when it was a div 2 team, after being blown out in 2 games I asked to moved down to div 2 which I was granted , we lost the next 2 games by 1 and 2 goals. Thanksgiving came , district saw it as loosing first 4 games moved us to div 3, I...

I agree with the tiering and reassessment but I think Thanksgiving is to early to make such an assessment. For example the competition a team played against should be part of the consideration, a middle of pack team could play the 3 or 4 top teams and loose by a large margin as an example. I...

Chair of SMSA recently changed and given with what happen the previous year I don't think he is sleeping with anyone from BC Tigers. I assume you are referring to the previous chair who is an executive with BC Tigers....... perhaps you should update your info...

I have been around, coached with , have friends in everyone of these Newton based clubs. I will confidently say they are all guilty to one degree or another. Its unfortunate that the actions of a few impact the many in not for profit organizations or clubs. I am not going to rush to judgement...

Here is a web site for session plans I recently stumbled across, some good stuff in here though I haven't gone through everything in detail. Session Plans | Massachusetts Youth Soccer

The problem I see or saw is that by defending deep our best players weren't on the ball enough, in the final game we finally played with offensive purpose, the results were positive and our best players were involved. .No disrespect to the likes of DeJOng, Edgar, Ledgerwood , Jakovic but they...

I'm sorry but i have to ask who exactly is making assumptions. Your whole post is rumour and gossip. I simply shared the statement by BC Soccer. to pass on the info , no other comments were made. This is what we know : Fact: Pacific United has been suspended by BC Soccer pending a hearing...

An update from BC Soccer September 14, 2016 BC Soccer statement regarding Pacific United Football Club’s interim suspension On September 8, 2016, BC Soccer’s Judicial/Discipline Committee placed Pacific United Football Club, it’s directors and executive director under an interim suspension...

As I have said many times, the whole conversation of Rep vs Rec and commitment etc can all be erased with two clear streams. The only issue I have with BCSPL is it created this exclusive elitist like mentality , Metro is second fiddle, anything below it isn't worth talking about... and its...

What is happening with the Pacific United games, I am to be playing them this weekend...

Yes,yes,yes. Free play, play in the backyard or local school and park without coaches or parents. Just kids playing the game they love....what happened to that. Heck you barely see a game of street hockey anymore.

I say yes if your goal in University or more and you are 16+ then you need to start increasing your training, before then there is no proven benefit at all....That said those kids play in BCSPL , don't go to summer camps and are told to shut it down for the summer. .. during the season they...

Spring /Summer soccer has been largely the USSL and USSA or whatever they called these day, at least in Surrey and Delta areas. There are growing programs at Coastal, Surrey United , West Coast has hosted a spring league past few years as well that clubs from Surrey, Langley , Abbotsford...

Thanks for the feedback. Excellent advise. I have subscribed to the soccer fitness idea, and that temp will take care of most your needs. There is however rowing evidence to support sport specific training even at younger ages. My son recently has a hip flexor issue , we took him to a...
