How long can that last? Or until someone ELSE pays MC for that extra home tutoring and then HE becomes the chosen one. The team lost the feeling of a team.


Thats not true. They are much better than they were last year. I saw them play this weekend and last season - they move the ball well in the offensive end and in transition and get scoring from a number of kids and now have a defensive coach that gets in their Dmen's grills. Very impressed by their level of play and their IQs. BTW their goalie this weekend was a 5th grader.



And one of the teams they beat was a fifth grade team. so it all evens out. the style of coaching varies from club to club. this one happens to use the star players much more than the rest during games, it hurts and helps at different times, but you can't beat the workouts and conditioning, which is what matters the most at this level.


Who made the 5th grade team play in the 6th grade bracket. They've been doing that for years and beat most of the 6th grade teams anyway. The express team is much better than it was last year.
