Most parents don't get what this game is about. The top teams are looking for contributors to team play, ball movement, player movement, redefends, defensive slides, mids getting back, seeting up plays, assisting, transition. It is much more than bulling in and taking a shot. Some of the worst players on a team score the most goals. Not saying "your" daughter doesn't belong on top team, but this board is full of crybabies.


So very true!
