Re: 2028 Girls - Mid Atlantic B Anonymous #412956 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A If you look at the regular season NGLL for GA, there were only two teams…Eaglestix and Beast. Beast beat Eaglestix in the only regular season game which is why they’re going and not EagleStix. The game wasn’t even close either. They lost 5-15, so I don’t think they’re the best B Division team in the country. Like Reply Quote

Do you think the fact that HoCo Black played against all B level teams, this means they will play in B next season? They did go 1-7 this past NGLL season but still had several teams end below them…hopefully there will be a C division introduced this year. Like Reply Quote

Some club directors feel like parents are paying for a service, one of which is to be seen so they are owed to get the kids out there equally. My 24 went to NJ, Hershey PA, and TX two times between 10th & 11th grade to the tune of at least @$2,000 spent on travel and hotels. Plus many more tournaments around MD and Philly that still required traveling. We live in MD so our travel is minimal but other teams at all the same tournaments are coming from as far as California. No one wants to travel and spend money for their kid not to play. These clubs need to take girls that can actually play on the team they're placed on and not full roster spots for money. And while I agree that it used to be being the best earned playing time club sports and showcases have changed the dynamics Like Reply Quote

Re: 2028 Girls - Mid Atlantic B Bar Down #422394 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A There is big difference between equal PT and not playing the bench. With the exception of playoff games, I'd say most teams play starters 80% of time and backups 20-30%. Usually starters play first 10 minutes of game and last 10 minutes of game if competitive and the backups get PT in the minutes in between. Goalies typically split time except for playoff games. That usually works and keeps most folks happy. Exceptions are often made in playoff games or in the last pool play game if a win is needed to advance to playoffs. Like Reply Quote

This right here. DDs team has everyone play every game; however, it is not equal because it is clear who the best players are. If the game is not close, those that don't play as much get more time (even in a bad loss because at that point, starters aren't winning the game you may as well try the others) Like Reply Quote

When starting middle line gets tired, usually 1 goes to attack, 1 goes to defense and the 3 middies starting at other positions go to middie and a a couple defenders and one attack get rotated in. On average, I'd say the 6 middies and best attacker probably play on average 90% of the game in competitive games and the rest of the playing time for the other 4 field positions is shared across 10 or 11 players.

To be fair, how often do girls themselves (not the parents) reach out to coaches for feedback? Very rarely in my experience. Should coaches be proactive in providing feedback, yet. But ultimately, it is on the player themselves to reach out for feedback. In my family's experience, it is very rare for a club coach not to give construction feedback when directly asked by player.

Re: 2028 Girls - Mid Atlantic B Bar Down #422432 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A IMO, kids under the age of 14, really have a tough time communicating with a coach, especially about their own performance. End of day, the parents are the decision makers and should be aware of all feedback. No different than a child performance at school. If there are academic or behavioral issues, the parents should be informed. You'd also be surprised how many behavioral issues at practices/games relate directly to playing time and how that child is viewed as an asset or not to the team. Like Reply Quote

Maybe so, but it's a skill kids need to learn. Most clubs have policies around this. All worded differently, but pretty much say that any communicated to coaches needs to be done through the player.

I find the better teams place their fastest players on defense and some of these defenders could easily play mid. Too many people think their kids are mids but can’t play good D and true mids have to be able to play both good D and offense. Like Reply Quote

On average, I'd say the 6 middies and best attacker probably play on average 90% of the game in competitive games and the rest of the playing time for the other 4 field positions is shared across 10 or 11 players. The really good teams don’t play all mids because they have really good defenders and attack players. This way they can rotate the mid lines to keep them fresh and wear down the opposing team.

For almost any top team, the 4th Middie is better in both instances. The best coaches will usually have their 11 best field players on the field at crunch time.
