CSL U-13 Boys - 2010

[Lunatic]

Thanks Broadway,

I'm already taking meds to lower my blood pressure.
Nice cup win. Good luck next round.
The final outcome of our cup game was pretty much as expected. I got a little self satisfaction, for what it's worth. Pray we can build on the positives before it's too late...

Very bad game against Pickering, the wolves had control of most
of the game but the boys missed to to many chances. Pickering scored
3 goals 2 due to strict luck!! The Wolves missed 4 chances that at any other time
would of gone in. But we will be ready for the next game. Control will be again
with the Wolves.

Forget about L4P ... go watch a game between the top 4 L3 to watch real soccer at this age group.

Great action on the pitch ... plus the offpitch comments on the sidelines are classic entertainment.

[brattyplaya]

I have watched many L3 games. We have also played many L3 teams. We know the teams very well. L3 has maybe 3 to 4 teams that are strong. The rest would have trouble cracking the top 4 in Lev4P my boy!!!


I find it a joke that you would think that only in L3 can offer real games as you put it. Very far from the truth. I think you should get out chillax a bit and take a look at some of the L4p games.

[footymad]

L3 is a very strong loop, and I agree the top 4 are the strongest...but I disagree with you that the others would not crach the top of level4P... I believe the other 4 teams have lots of talent too....example Aurora(5th in L3) beat Pickering 3 0 in the CSL cup(who have not lost a game in L4P)..... and are now due to play Wexford in the semi final..... I guess thats a good way to find out if what you say is true my friend

[footygame]

Wasn't Aurora in Level 4 last season? They finished second to Vaughn in L4P. I think these two teams success is a shining example of how strong L4P is.

After the Top 4 (Ajax, Woodbridge, KNSC, and Vaughn), the rest of Level 3 and the top teams in L4P would have highly competitive matchups.

Wexford98Coach,

This is in the 97's thread only because you posted here. Could go to the 98's thread also.

The same could be argued that the "Southwest part of York Region" should put their best players together and make one HECK of a team. Canadian Champions"? (Should all of Durham do the same too?) This could be argued along the board in all regions. At some point something needs to be done. At our club a couple of executives wanted to combine partnership with another club, but they were fought to the end did not work!!

There are four York Region teams within 10 mins of each other....Kleinburg, Woodbridge, Vaughan and Glen Shields. I think they are better off competing with each other, especially at the younger ages, because it allows for MANY other avid soccer players to play at the higher levels. In your example, within Scarborough, what if you DID get all the best 18 Scarborough based players together? Let's assume they came to you at Wexford?? So you go out on a weekly basis to blast teams.....but what about all those other boys currently at Scarborough Blizzard Jaguars and West Rouge Storm that don't trek down to Wexford to "make" the team, those who also want a chance to develop as soccer players? Where would they go? Would they have to be satisfied playing in CSL L4 DivA and B....or even CESL soccer? I think we owe them more than that.

Some have suggested that Aurora is "the best York Region alternative to the southwest quadrant". Aurora is situated centrally in York Region, and has players from Aurora, Newmarket, Unionville, Barrie, Schomberg, and Stouffville. This is the only way these boys get to compete with the BIG THREE of Kleinburg, Woodbridge and Vaughan. Many of the Aurora team play other sports through the winter, and are not 100% soccer kids as the BIG THREE are almost exclusively. Should Aurora send the better players packing to join one of the BIG THREE and tell the remainder, "ah well, you can continue to just play at a lower level" ?

As the 97's become Grade 8 kids, we know many will drop out of soccer to pursue their #1 sport. History says this will happen. Aurora (and Newmarket) has already lost MANY players to AAA and AA hockey over the last two or three years. In all likelihood, by the time they are 15 or 16 the "soccer-mad players" who have it inside them to push on to try to gain a scholarship, or even more, will HAVE to join a BIG OYSL team, or go to academy soccer. But NOT AT 13 years old. Let them develop even if it means the clubs who are in the same vicinity have "watered down" teams.

Just one old guy's view.

I agree with you. I was just explaining one of the reasons the stronger L3 teams are strong and the bottom L3 teams are not. I have a problem with people who insist there are problems with a team who sit bottom two of L3 and insist the coaching is not up to par. Especially when those people making these claims sit top table of one of the lower leagues. Not taking anything away from L4P and L41 but L3 is a different league. The teams up here are all geared to winning now and not later. And it has to be that way because 25% of the teams in L3 get relegated.

Our development program is succeeding even though we currently sit 8th out of 8 teams. The players are getting better and the morale of the team's players, parents and coaches is actually high. But no one would think that just by looking at the standings.

The culture of soccer in Canada puts a great emphasis on winning from 10 years old. The teams who are winning everything NOW are the ones who merge with other teams and/or hunt for talent. The teams are only as good as the talent they have and a coach can only do so much. This point I think you agree with.

Interesting and sad article in todays globe and mail regarding the U13 nssc-aorora game of a few weeks back? If accurate, it paints a very disturbing picture of the NSSC parent(s) inlvolved. Can anyone comment on the game in question and what, if any, discipline has been handed down. Based on the article, a number of teams are refusing to play them (i wholeheartily agree) in upcoming games. The loss of a game or two falls well below the safety of the boys. This is completely ridiculous. In my opinion, the CSL should come down extremely hard on the club. My decision would be forfiet losses in each of their remaining games. Bad for the kids on the team I understand, but there must be a strong voice against violence (guns) at a game!!!

Further to HardTackles comments.

It seems that this is getting way out of hand and it is not restricted to Scarborough by any means.
The U13 Ontario Cup Game between KNSC and Vaughan this past weekend clearly shows that it is not limited to any specific district.
The Ontario Soccer Association needs to adopt a zero tolernace approach to cases where it has been proven that ANY type of violence between players , officials and/or parents shall be punishable by automatic expulsion -long term bans for all those involved in addition to heavy club fines.The bans shall cover and and all Ontario District Clubs.
This is the only way we can put an end to this rediculous behavior permanently.

up and win. The team is to greatly coached ya know!!!


They will bring the Csl cup back
to Wexford.

Bratty, Bratty, Bratty......what are we going to do with you? You did so well not boasting and crowing with your game report from the semi-final win. And then you come up with the comments above for the Ajax game.

I'm going to have to get your manager (MYP) to take you aside and 'splain' a few things to you. Think about the class that she shows in all that she does. That's what YOU could do too.

Be humble, play the games, keep good character...win or lose. No chest puffing or boasting. THAT'S the Bratty that's in there, you know it!

Broadway.

Please, the alter ego, split personality or what have you of Bratty is really quite amusing. Light entertainment/comedy. I'm still trying to figure out if we should suggest that Bratty goes and gets another alias, Bratty one (the chest thumping, boastful personality) and Bratty 2 (the good guy)
Anyway, congratulations to the Wexford boys on the semi-final win and I guess I shouldn't even say good luck in the finals (you don't seem to need it).
