I get your point cage but that would be true if what these pot stirrers were saying is true but the whole FAF nonsense was played out a long time ago.

Cooks team is not a developmental team. The better girls will stay with her, the others were moved to Harney's team. No, my daughter is not on either. Just insider knowledge. But really, who cares the girls are playing, they are happy so lets move on!!!

I am going to go out on a limb and say I am the FAF group my children are excited to be on berts team and meet a bunch of new girls. WE wish all of our friends and enemies on carros team good luck, you have a wonderful coach and i have no dout you will be successful. Have a very happythanksgiving.

Good luck to those parents on Berts team that have to deal with the FAF group.

in 2018 - After Rose, does anyone know the exact order (highest to lowest) of the other teams (Gradidei, Rosen, Jones and Mills)? Thanks

IThey weren't dumped. Supposably they asked to be placed on Berts team. Regardless, it's a great thing for Carro. On top of it he gets an excellent assistant. This team is going to be awesome!

Now I know where all the girls at the TG tryouts ended up. There was enough girls to make 5 or 6 teams at TG2018 tryouts, they kept it at 3 teams. That's about a $60,000 swing from SS to CR.

getting close to college time and everyone knows YJ parents are in it for themselves so if they think a team switch is what is needed they will ask. YJ might have FAF but most of the sidelines are not friends

Friends and Family...please try and keep up lol

You are an idiot. Many reasons to ask if your kid could move down a team. Maybe your daughter is not playing the position she loves, doesn't like the coach, doesn't like the kids or she wants to play more. By moving her down, there are more opportunities available to her. There is no entitlement involved. Good parents do what is best for their kids.

I'm a newbie to girls LAx and the obvious passion and competition between travel programs (or shall I say pissing contests here on some of the forums), my child is a 2021 and a fairly new player (1 year, but has progressed due to athleticism and desire to get better because she loves the sport so passionately ). Reading this forum makes me hesitant to join any of these teams. But as a Varsity Head Coach (of another sport) and my own success as an athlete, I know the focus will be on helping my daughter keep focused on what is truly important and helping my daughter to understand and realize that sport is a process of self-improvement and the self-satisfaction that comes with that. That will be my job as a parent.


Financially I can afford to provide her with opportunities to participate and fortunately my daughter is realistic about where she stands skills wise (as am I) and understands that the benefit lies in the practice and playing with better competition will make you better. I also understand that the possibility of discouragement exists, but as a parent I must remind her that the goal is to improve and be observant enough to show her how she is improving week to week. I must model how to set realistic goals for herself that she can realistically reach, and help her celebrate those achievements in small but meaningful ways.

I am sure we will end up on a "developmental team" but isn't every team a developmental team until they get into High School?

Excellent answer , or just move to TG where you can not only pick what team you get to play on but what age you get to play at. "Sorry but my kid is a superstar and will only play w older kids because the kids her age are terrible."

isn't that what a 2015 Y.J. goalie did. Poor thing has to play her age this year

Thats right. That YJ goalie played UP her whole travel life. Goalies usually do in MS and HS but on travel they should play age appropriate.

Hello, do you people have any idea what your talking about?! Seems not. Of course the goalie has to play with her age group, YJ goes to 11th grade. If she wants to play, she has to play with 2015, her graduating year.

This forum is nothing but whiners and complainers. And for parents who think "my kid is the best". Back of the cage, get rid of your forum and go back to being informational. It breeds nothing but animosity. Team sports are about the kids, not their parents egos. Everyone should get a grip.
