Kane is not coming here. They will give him money he needs. We have much bigger problem than Archibuald. He played hurt last four games. Club has many small players with no push back. It shows against fast strong teams. Our first line is OK. Second line two guys should be moved. Sven should be...
Twins are gone, team needs to add two solid players in top six. LW is a must college player like Devin Brasseau could help. Horvat young Sweed and Brock need no better. Second line centre team must add. Adam would do better as a winger. Sutter Archibuald and Erikkson a Ok. Fourth line we have...
I hope Canucks stop and think before they add any players. Team is almost last in the league. It really has nothing to do with twins and their age. It's all about GM and president inability to think. Club has five or six soft players with lack of foot speed. If you lack speed than grit must be...
TKBC I am glad you do. HPL is turning in to nothing more than rich kids play who than get a chance to play for BC summer program rest get a kick in the ars. This is where it all goes wrong. If youth does not have ability to run at the highest level, what is the reason for development. It will...
There was a guy saying BCSA has to take path and run the Province that feller must be on planet nine. BC collects money fro each kid do you think they will start club wars. Not going to happen, as it's now things are all over the place but at least Coastal League is getting better. BCSA needs to...
There was huge change in grouping in U12 soccer as it should have been done first time around. From here on some teams will have a better chance to show some results that will make kids much happier. Small clubs will fall down the chart as they should. Kids will get better development in much...
TKBC you are pointing good points to rest of the members. HPL or any level is for kids that want it. No parent can push the kid or he or she will quit. No kid likes to go to five star tournament where the get clocked each game. I blame coaches for their BS. If you look at Whitecaps second team...
TKBC I clearly agree with your post. Them teams are pr-selected, try outs are just cover ups. MSSL or new Coastal select program on the other side is for players to try and make it. In my opinion a better place for kids to develop.
It's huge jump from level to level most parents wish for phone...
IF you guys would like to see small club playing mega club soccer come to field three Burnaby 8 rinks fields 8:30 and check it out. Ask your self if Fonseca and his reps from BC Soccer do kids justice.
We all know that team needs a gold coach not a jolly muph, but at the same time child...
Bit more info on U12 Gold level soccer. Went to watch U12 gold teams play at Jericho just to see what level kids are at that age. There is a team in VUFC Riot U12 playing under gold two west group. Note all the kids were selected for gold one. Yet they put them in Gold two to win a all costs...
LosBlancos you do not want to have Academy control of the kids. If you do you know whats next. Kids have to be left to club soccer. That's the place for development. The only thing we don't have vs Ontario is number of players. Ontario has three to four time more soccer players than BC. BC...
Fill66 that was last year with out addition of three clubs from district five. Ask around how south Burnaby gold one team is doing this year. One team has gone down to lower level to win and have fun , that team has two smart coaches. Gold one team has more than sixty seventy percent of the...
You all know that we have that we only have forty guys per age group with top talent. What is the reason to play teams and beat them 8 zip. In my opinion club sadists love it. If you take North Van they went from three clubs in to one. In my opinion it's a good program. Dunbar Kerrisdale and...
All of you guys bring out many good points. One point that all over look is child development. BC and club members keep on forming new leagues to confuse people but mostly to make money on kids. There is only forty to sixty kids in BC top level in five factors. Rest are tear two players, some...
TKBC thanks for pointing out what they plan in future. There is many things wrong in my opinion. Force all in to mega clubs or stay the old system with more smaller clubs. Costs to go to Victoria and Nanaimo is far farce by our government, way way over cost. Island needs is own program. Kelowna...
TKBC I really don't know what the heck they do. Most of thing that get changed in youth soccer are buy the guys that never played the game. Most of it based on Hockey format. In my opinion we should play from March till November like rest of the country. This way we would train kids that only...
LosBlancos it'an easy fix if clubs would spend twenty minutes to really think. Local soccer is going to mega clubs thinking that better players will get better in few years. The way I see it it will make no change. Reason is mega clubs playing small clubs and winning 7 zip will not develop...
Soccer-Dude non made it very far. Marcus to some degree. Playing for twenty five grand in NASL-USL is a joke. How do you support your self. Even Caps give bench or sub guys next to nothing.
How much money Canada spends on coaches and so called programs with zero to show for. Our Ladies do...
LosBlancos HPL will never be free. That is how they control who gets in. Latest I heard Metro select soccer will be run by Clubs and not by district. HPL remains the same. What that means clubs will have selects than gold level. As it is now Gold teams will be going all over mainland to play...
