Tinryland Minors open their championship campaign with a comfortable victory
By eamonn Byrne
Tinryland minor footballers cleared the first hurdle in this year's Carlow M.F.C. (B) with a comfortable victory over Naomh Eoin Myshall at Rathcrogue on Tuesday 27th June. After a competitive opening 15 minutes when the lead changed hands on four occasions Tinryland took the game by the scruff of the neck in a five minute spell mid- way through the half when they rattled the Myshall net 3 times between the 16th and 21st minutes. Naomh Eoin opened the scoring after only 30 seconds when corner forward Riven Harman slotted over a point before Keelan Gaffney levelled matters 2 minutes later with a successful free which was won by the lively Michael Dobosz. Ronan Curran then edged Tinryland ahead for the 1st time with a beautiful point after great play by Conor Ryan and Keelan Gaffney. Myshall regained the advantage with a goal from full forward Jamie Kavanagh after the ball rebounded off the upright. Tinryland knew they had a challenge on their hands at this stage and they responded in positive fashion by scoring three points all via the excellent Ronan Curran between the 10th and 13th minutes. Another Keelan Gaffney point was the catalyst for Tinryland to up the ante and they did so in spectacular fashion by scoring 3 goals in a 5 minute spell. The opening goal was brilliantly finished by Rory Doyle after great play by Keelan Gaffney, Tommy Dunne, Aubrey Bradley and Michael Dobosz. Four minutes later the ball was back in the Myshall net when Aubrey Bradley finished a great delivery by Rory Doyle while 60 seconds later the first half hat trick was completed when Michael Dobosz raised another green flag after more good play by full forward Bradley. The first half scoring was completed when Rory Doyle and Keelan Gaffney added 2 further points while Naomh Eoin mid-fielder Cathal Treacy closed his sides first half account on the stroke of half time with a successful conversion of a dead ball. Half time score Tinryland 3-8 Naomh Eoin Myshall 1-2.
When Clonmore referee Jimmy Lawlor re-started proceedings Tinryland extended their advantage with a Michael Dobosz point. The Myshall boys then began to play their best football of the match. In a 10 minute spell between the 38th and 48th minutes Naomh Eoin added 1-3 to their tally without reply with a goal from Sian Harman and points from Michael Kavanagh, Harman and Cathal Treacy. Michael Dobosz stemmed the Myshall flow when he pointed in the 49th minute but Naomh Eoin remained competitive with 3 further points via Michael Kavanagh, Riven Harman and Cathal Treacy to leave 8 points separating the teams with 7 minutes remaining. The closing stages of the game saw Tinryland awake from their mini slumber and a brilliantly executed Michael Dobosz goal following great play by Conor Ryan, Cuan Burke and Keelan Gaffney was followed by another major from Ronan Curran after more great play by Dobosz. Final score Tinryland 5-12 Naomh Eoin 2-7.

Eire Og advance to S.F.L. Division 3 final with 4 point win over Tinryland
By Eamonn Byrne
Eire Og overcame the handicap of being down to 14 players for two thirds of this game to advance to the division 3 final against Tinryland at the training centre in Fenagh on Thursday 26th May.
The difference between the sides was the ability of the Eire Og forwards to find the target more easily than the Tinryland men who had every chance to win this game after the town team lost wing forward Corey Harmon to a straight red in the 20th minute.
Tinryland opened the scoring in the 5th minute when wing back Cathal Gaffney pointed after good play by Shane Redmond who was making a rare appearance at this level to further his comeback after injury. Mark Kelly opened the Y.I. account 30 seconds later after good play by Tommy Dowling and by the 10th minute the winners had pulled 3 clear following points by Corey Harmon (2) and centre back Cathal Kelly. Peter Hennessy then landed a brilliant 50 metre free in the 13th minute and 3 minutes later the margin was reduced to the minimum when Peter repeated the dose in identical fashion. Eire Og were then dealt a blow when Corey Harmon received a straight red card from referee David Hickey for an illegal challenge on Ciaran Townsend but the handicap did not immediately affect the townsmen as they added further points before the break via Mark Corcoran and midfielder Paul Mc Elligott. Half time score Eire Og 0-6 Tinryland 0-3.
When play resumed Tinryland set about making their numerical advantage work and the hoops were immediately on the scoreboard when Cathal Gaffney slotted over a point following good play by David Townsend. Tinryland introduced Padraig Delaney into the action with Eire Og sending on Cian Clancy. In the 39th minute Cathal Gaffney scored another beauty from the half back position following good play by David Townsend and Ciaran Townsend. Mark Kelly extended the Eire Og lead back out to 2 points in the 42nd minute before Tinryland upped the ante in an effort to get on terms. Superb defensive play by Eire Og kept Tinryland at bay until the 53rd minute when Padraig Delaney finally found the net after good work by Shane O'Neill and Alan Barrett. It looked at this stage that Tinryland would increase their one point lead and they had a few chances to do so before Eire Og broke down the field to gain the equaliser via sub Ross Dunphy who had replaced Dean Hayden in the Y.I. attack. Tinryland had one more chance to regain the advantage but Alan Barrett was unable to convert a close in free and sensing that all was not lost Eire Og went back ahead with a point from Reece Denieffe. It looked that it was Eire Og that had the numerical advantage at this stage and Denieffe became the hero of the hour when he capitalized on a defensive error by Tinryland to crash the ball pass stand in keeper Niall Barrett with 4 minutes remaining. Denieffe applied the icing to the Eire Og cake when he extended their lead to 5 points in the 57th minute while Tinryland scored a consolation point near the end via Alan Barrett who was the only Tinryland forward to score a point during the game. Final score Eire Og 1-10 Tinryland 1-6.
Eire Og: Craig White, Sean Wogan, Shane Kelly, Lee Moore, Evan Kelly, Cathal Kelly, Eoin Maddock, Paul McElligott 0-1, James Ruth, Tommy Dowling, Mark Kelly 0-3, Corey Harmon 0-2 1f, Mark Corcoran 0-1, Dean Hayden, Reece Denieffe 1-2. Subs Cian Clancy, Ross Dunphy 0-1, Joey Curtis.

St.Patrick's then came back into the game with a goal and a point before Cormac O'Brien added his third point of the game. Dinny Farrell then finished a fine flowing team move with a well taken goal before St.Patrick's finished the scoring with a point.
The second half started as fast as the first with St.Patrick's taking advantage of the wind and putting a goal and a point away inside the first 4 minutes. Tinryland replied with a goal from Mark Johnson but St.Patrick's went straight down the field and replied with another goal. Another Tullow goal and a point brought them right back into the match but a point from Ronan Curran and another goal from Mark Johnson steadied Tinryland. St.Patricks were not finished though and another goal again rocked the home team. Ronan Curran added the last home point before St.Patricks scored another goal to leave a nervy last couple of minutes but Tinrylkand held out for a fine home win.

Ballon win Division 5 league points against Tinryland with impressive first half display
By Eamonn Byrne
Ballon guaranteed themselves a place in the division 5 semi-final when they defeated Tinryland's 3rd squad by 7 points at James Morris Park on Tuesday 17th May. The home team wrapped up the points with an impressive first half display when playing with the breeze. After 12 minutes the scoreboard read 2-4 to nil in Ballons favour with their goals coming in the 2nd and 11th minutes from Rory O'Connor and wing back Michael Barcoe. Tinryland's opening score in the 13th minute was a Dean Farrell point and the same player who scored 6 points in total got the hoops' only other 1st half score in the 28th minute with another point. By this stage Ballon had amassed 2-11 with some wonderful scores from the likes of Ross Nolan, Paul Lyons, Liam Brennan, James Doyle and Mikey Barcoe.
Half time score Ballon 2-11 Tinryland 0-2.
It was a transformed Tinryland that lined out for the 2nd half and by the 38th minute the men in blue and white had added a further 2 points to their account via Dean Farrell and Garry Scully. These scores gave the team who had the bare 15 players confidence and between the 35th and 55th minutes Tinryland added 4 unanswered points from Dean Farrell, Cathal Whelan, Farrell again with a wonderful point in the 50th minute and Barry Power. It was all Tinryland at this stage and following good play by Alan "Benson" Byrne and Garry Scully veteran P.J. Murphy scored a goal out of the top drawer that would do justice to any game at a much higher level. Ballon stemmed the flow with their only 2nd half score from play when Paul Lyons pointed in the 29th minute and Dean Farrell capped a good display when he scored his 6th point just before referee Pat Kehoe sounded the long whistle.
This game now brings down the curtain on Tinryland's division 5 campaign and the team will next be in action in late July or early August against O'Hanrahans in the Junior C championship. Outstanding for Tinryland were goalkeeper Michael Delaney, defenders Joey Ryan, Paddy Byrne and Sean Kirwan while midfielders Conor Ryan and John Jackson linked well with Dean Farrell, Garry Scully and Barry Power in the 2nd half. Final score Ballon 2-13 Tinryland 1-9.
Ballon: Colm Barry, Daniel Lewis, Kevin Doyle, Adrian Barry, Michael Barcoe 1-1, Joseph Holden, Shane Ryan, Ross Nolan 0-1, Karl Nolan, Rory O'Connor 1-0, James Doyle 0-4, Eoin Byrne, Jack Ryan, Liam Brennan 0-4, Paul Lyons 0-3.

Tinryland lose out by six points to Fighting Cocks in penultimate game in Division 5
By Eamonn Byrne
The Junior (C) team travelled to Rathoe to take on Fighting Cocks in the penultimate game in Division 5 on Tuesday 10th May. Tinryland got off to a lively start and were a goal up in the early stages when mid fielder John Fleming rattled the Cocks net. The men in blue and white only managed a further point in the opening half when Killian Maher raised a white flag. The Home side added 5 points to their account in that opening half and led by 0-5 to 1-1 at the break
In the 2nd half Tinryland added 3 further points to their tally via Dean Farrell (2) and Cormac Kelly while Fighting Cocks added a further 8 points to run out winners on a scoreline of 0-13 to 1-4.
All in all it was not a bad performance from the hoops against one of the strongest teams in the division. The scoreboard could have been even healthier from a Tinryland point of view as a clear cut goal chance was missed in the closing stages. The final league game in division 5 takes place away to Ballon on Tuesday next 17th May at 8 p.m. There will then be enough time for the squad to train properly for the first round of the championship in July. Outstanding for Tinryland were goalkeeper Johnny Farrell, defenders Joey Ryan, John Whyte and Garry Scully, midfielders John Fleming and Conor Ryan together with Dermot McGuill, Dean Farrell and John Jackson.
Tinryland: John Farrell, Alan Byrne, Joey Ryan, Paddy Byrne, Gary Scully, John Whyte, Cormac Kelly 0-1, Conor Ryan, John Fleming 1-0, Dean Farrell 0-2, Dermot McGuill, Killian Maher, Eoin Fields, John Jackson, Brian Mullen. Subs: P.J. Murphy, Brian Deane, Cathal Whelan.
Tinryland Junior A team qualify for Division 3 league semi-final after win against Leighlinbridge
By Eamonn Byrne
Tinryland Junior A team qualified for the Division 3 semi- final after a good win over Leighlinbridge in round 6 at Rathcrogue on Thursday 5th May. The away team were first on the scoresheet when full forward Hugo Ashmore pointed in the 2nd minute. Tinryland then settled down to play productive football and 2 points from Rory Doyle and his cousin Paul in the 4th and 6th minutes gave the men in blue and white a lead they never relinquished. A Conor McGrath point in the 9th minute was followed by the opening goal from Gregg Murphy in the 11th minute following a great pass from one of Tinryland's best players Alan Barrett. Alan showed his class over the latter part of the 1st half when he added 3 points in the 20th, 22nd and 30th minutes to give Tinryland a half time lead of 1-6 to 0-4.
The All Blacks had kept their account alive with points from frees by Val Fleming and one from play scored by wing forward James Kane. Hugo Ashmore as he did in the first half scored the opening point of the 2nd period shortly after the re start but in similar fashion this spurred on Tinryland and they stretched their lead to 9 points between the 34th and 40th minutes with points from Alan Barrett and Rory Doyle and a brilliant goal from midfielder Peter Hennessy after more intelligent play by Barrett. The scoreboard kept ticking and an Adam Dunne point in the 41st minute was followed by a goal from Alan Barrett after good play by Conal Dunne which virtually killed the game as a contest. Leighlinbridge could only manage 2 further points from Val Fleming and Conor Nolan in this segment and Tinryland cruised to the final whistle raising another green flag from centre back John Murphy after a pass from Peter Hennessy.
Final score Tinryland 4-9 Leighlinbridge 0-7.
With St Patricks being held to a draw by Palatine, Tinryland have now qualified for the semi- final of Division 3 along with Eire Og, Rathvilly and Ballon or St. Patricks. The league proper ends on Thursday next 12th May when Tinryland travel to James Morris Park to take on Ballon.

Junior (B) team off the mark in Division 5 with good win against O'Hanrahans
By Eamonn Byrne
Tinryland got their first victory in Division 5 with a comprehensive victory over O'Hanrahans at Deerpark on Tuesday 3rd May. This win was due reward for the commitment of the team to date and with 2 games remaining hopes are high that our 3rd squad can maintain their winning ways against Fighting Cocks on Tuesday 10th May and against Ballon on Tuesday 17th May. This match was a game of 2 halves dominated by a strong wind.
In the first half Tinryland played into the town end against the elements and only managed 2 scores in the half hour. A Gavin Power goal kept Tinryland in the hunt as the home side clocked up one goal and seven points. Half Time score O'Hanrahans 1-7 Tinryland 1-1.
The second half saw a transformed Tinryland play their best football of the season aided by the introduction of Conor Ryan and the returning Sean Kirwan. Over the course of the 2nd half Tinryland rattled the Blues net 5 times with the goal scorers being Brian Mullen, Barry Power, Killian Maher, Eoin Fields and Garry Scully. Some tremendous defensive work by goalkeeper Mick Delaney and supported by Sean Regan, Joey Ryan, Paddy Byrne, Sean Kirwan, John Whyte and Cormac Kelly kept O'Hanrahans at bay and with a great performance by mid fielders John Jackson and Adam Mullen the Tinryland forwards received a plentiful supply of the ball. Final score Tinryland 6-5, O'Hanrahans 2-10.
The next match for Tinryland in division 5 will be away to Fighting Cocks on Tuesday next 10th May at 7.30 p.m.

2nd easy win for Tinryland minors in M.F.L
By Eamonn Byrne
Tinryland minor footballers chalked up their 2nd successive win in this year's league with a very easy victory over a young Clonmore outfit at Rathcrogue on Monday 2nd May. A lighting fast start by the boys in blue and white saw the ball in the Clonmore net straight from the throw in and this score by centre forward Keelan Gaffney set the tone for the rest of the game. Ronan Curran converted a free in the second minute and despite a point from Clonmore via Fran Whelan it was all Tinryland for the remainder of the half as they built up a lead of 4-10 to 0-2 with the Wicklow border team not adding to their account until the 29th minute. At this stage Tinryland were in cruise control having scored goals by Rory Dunbar in the 10th minute and 2 from lively wing forward Ronan Curran which included one from the penalty spot after a foul on himself. Clonmore were also awarded a penalty 3 minutes earlier but that one was missed to add to their first half woes. Half time score Tinryland 4-11 Clonmore 0-2.
When the 2nd half began Clonmore were first to score with wind advantage when Rory Maguire slotted over a point. Tinryland who were cruising now replied with 2 points from Keelan Gaffney and Jonathon Curran. Clonmore at last began to make some impact and 2 further points from Whelan and Dunne gave them encouragement before Co. minor Rory Doyle rattled the Clonmore net at the club house end with 15 minutes remaining. With Tinryland taking their foot off the pedal Clonmore led by their wing forward Tom Pollard did most of their scoring in the final quarter and their goal in the 53rd minute was one out of the top drawer. Tinryland added further to their tally with goals from Aubrey Bradley and a string of well taken points from Cormac Kelly, Jonathon Curran and Conor Ryan. 12 different players got on the scoresheet in this match for the home side and another feature was the long distance accuracy from dead balls by centre forward Keelan Gaffney. Final score Tinryland 7-16 Clonmore 1-9. The Minors are away to Kildavin-Clonegal in Spellman Park on Saturday next 7th May at 7pm.
Tinryland: Lee Kane, Cuan Burke 0-1, Cormac Kelly 0-1, Fergal Kelly, Rory Dunbar 1-0, Rory Doyle 1-1, Tommy Dunne, Conor Ryan 0-2, Jonathon Curran 0-2, Conor Brennan 0-1, Keelan Gaffney 1-3, Ronan Curran 2-2, Eoghan Hosey, Dinny Farrell 0-2, Aubrey Bradley 2-1. Subs Shea Byrne, Rory Moore.
Eire Og maintain their stranglehold on Division 3 after 6 point win over Tinryland
By Eamonn Byrne
Eire Og's 2nd fifteen continue to be the pacesetters in division 3 after a comfortable win over Tinryland in Rathcrogue on Thursday 28th April. In a game borrowed from winter and played in very cold and blustery conditions the home side playing against the wind in the first half held their town opponents well for the opening 20 minutes. Eire Og were first on the scoresheet when full forward Mark Corcoran slotted over a point in the 3rd minute. Despite dominating in many sectors the town team found it hard to convert their possession into scores and would have been disappointed to be only 3 points to nil ahead after 18 minutes after 2 further points from corner forward Adam Murphy. Tinryland then began to awake from their slumbers and were rewarded in the 19th minute with a brilliant Padraig Delaney goal following great play by Dylan Byrne, David Townsend and Brian Mullen. With the first half moving on Eire Og began to dominate and a Corey Harmon goal in the 20th minute was followed by a succession of points from the same player, Cathal Kelly, and Mark Corcoran. Half time score Eire Og 1-7 Tinryland 1-0.
When play resumed it was Eire Og who were first on the scoreboard with successful frees by Corcoran and Harmon as Adam Mullen was introduced into the action for Tinryland. Tinryland had to wait until the 46th minute for their opening point which was a well taken one from Paul Doyle.
Eire Og replied with a point from former hoops player Eoin Maddock as Jack Lowry was introduced for Paul Doyle with 15 minutes remaining. Eire Og also made a change with Jonathon Dowling entering the action. Fiach O'Toole then increased the YI advantage with John Whyte coming on for Tinryland replacing Brian Mullen. Tinryland then enjoyed their most productive spell of the match with a well worked Cathal Gaffney point following good play by Whyte before Eire Og closed their scoring with another Mark Corcoran point. Conor Ryan came on for Tinryland and the remainder of the match saw the home side at last produce the football they are capable of. A Jack Lowry point in the 54th minute was followed by 3 successive points from Cathal Gaffney, Peter Hennessy and Alan Barrett which put some respectability on the score board. Final score Eire Og 1-12 Tinryland 1-6.
Tinryland are still in contention for a place in the Division 3 semi- final and the game against Leighlinbridge on Thursday next 5th May in Rathcrogue at 7.30 p.m. is now a crucial one as Leighlinbridge are also in contention for a top 4 place.
Tinryland: Ciaran Byrne, Dylan Byrne, Peter Doran, Dermot McGuill, Cathal Gaffney 0-2, John Paul Moore, Adam Dunne, Peter Hennessy 0-1, Conor McGrath, Brian Mullen, Paul Doyle 0-1, Padraig Delaney 1-0, David Townsend, Gregg Murphy, Alan Barrett 0-1.

Tinryland Seniors back to winning ways in Round 5 of SFL Division 1
By Eamonn Byrne
Tinryland Senior footballers got back to winning ways in the senior football league with a comfortable six point win over Mount Leinster Rangers at Rathcrogue on Monday 25th April.
With a youthful team comprising 9 of last year's U21 championship winning side the home team were swiftest out of the blocks scoring a point within 30 seconds of the throw in by Glen Doyle after good inter play involving Diarmaid Walshe, Niall Lowry and Cormac Walshe. A superb Diarmaid Walshe point 2 minutes later was the result of a great tackle by John Murphy who was making his senior debut in this game. Tinryland were then dealt a major blow when corner forward Ciaran Larkin picked up a serious looking knee injury and after a long delay he left the field on a stretcher. Padraic Whelan replaced Ciaran but it was Tinryland who increased the advantage with another Diarmaid Walshe beauty after great play by Glen Doyle and Cathal Gaffney. Rangers who were playing a possession game at this stage against the strong wind got on the scoresheet in the 11th minute when wing forward Jack Murphy raised a white flag and despite owning the ball at times it was Tinryland that increased their lead with another Diarmaid Walshe point in the 17th minute. Rangers then enjoyed a productive period scoring 3 points in a 9 minute spell via Eddie Byrne, Paul Coady and Ted Joyce with Diarmaid Walshe closing the 1st half account with a brilliantly struck free. Rangers then lost their centre back Brian Nolan to a hamstring injury and he was replaced by Seamus Kelly.
Half time score Tinryland 0-5 Mount Leinster Rangers 0-4.
The second half began with John Paul Moore replacing Mark Dempsey (toe injury) in the Tinryland defence and within one minute the sides were tied at 5 points apiece when Jack Murphy successfully converted a free. Tinryland regained the advantage in the 33rd minute when wing back Cathal Gaffney advanced forward to slot over a great point after good play by Padraic Whelan, Conor McGrath and Matthew O'Toole.
John Murphy who was impressive on his debut won a free in the 36th minute and Diarmaid again did the honours as 2 more U21s Mark Lawlor and Shane Webb were introduced into the fray. Rangers made it a one point game in the 44th minute when Chris Nolan slotted over a point but this was to prove their final score as Tinryland upped the ante in a big way over the final quarter. A fine point by John Paul Moore after sustained Tinryland pressure was followed by a Mark Lawlor beauty which left 3 points separating the teams with 12 minutes remaining.
Rangers introduced Shane O'Neill and Michael Malone into the action but at this stage Tinryland were gradually turning the screw. Conor McGrath increased the advantage to 4 points in the 56th minute and when Shane Webb slotted over another point with 3 minutes remaining the points were in the bag for the men in blue and white hoops. The final act of the game was another well worked point scored by Conor McGrath which rounded off a very satisfactory evening's work and gave everyone associated with the team a big lift.
Tinryland are back in action on next Sunday evening away to high flying Eire Og in Pairc Ui Bhrian at 7 p.m.
Final score Tinryland 0-12 Mount Leinster Rangers 0-6.

Osceola County Employee Benefits Roll FY2016
FY 2016 just ended (June 30th) and we received the total benefits listing for all county and public safety employees from the county auditor's office. Do note there are two tabs on the bottom of the spreadsheet attached below. The data is the same in both tabs. The one is sorted in declining amounts of total compensation from largest to smallest. (Note the header column is in red.) The second tab is the same data but sorted by department (we called it category) first and then by largest to smallest.
Response to Judge's Ruling On Harris Farmer Lawsuit
The obfuscation found in the county's records, where they attempt to establish the Harris TIF, has led to the farmers filing an amended petition for summary judgement asking the court to find the TIF illegal. They've also filed to remove the county's bond counsel as an expert witness, if it would still go to trial. This might be the lawyer Senator David Johnson recommended they need to get better counsel from. Taxpayers have paid Mr. Danos plenty already.

All But One Osceola County Supervisor Snub the People!
After receiving previous calls from around the county, Tuesday morning January 25, 2011, the Osceola County Board of Supervisors snubbed the people of the county and effectively voted to increase the salaries of elected officials by 60% of the amount the discredited Comp Board had previously recommended they should be increased. There was one noted exception. Freshman Supervisor Roger Sixta made the first motion to effectively freeze all salaries of the elected officials for the coming year. Sixta's motion died for lack of a second.

Next to Normal - A great new work
There is a lot to like about this latest offering from Broadway, the music is superb, the singing outstanding and the overall story comes through even on the album. For those who enjoy recent Broadway musicals such as Spring Awakening, then this is for you. Give it a listen a couple of times however, as it gets better each time.
there are two identical versions of this on itunes, one is 20.99 and this one is 29.99. they both have exactly the same songs. don't waste your money getting this overpriced one. it is awesome though.

This was spot on - great taste, great table presentation and easy to boot! First time we had a grilled salad and it certainly won't be the last. I would leave the salt out all together, the dressing makes up for it.
First time we ever grilled romaine. Excellent salad. Will certainly make again.
The Best Caesar salad ever!!!

Clubs don't really use tryouts to pick their teams so it's not that important when they do it. Tryouts do tend to be when official offers go out, and some clubs like to box out their competition by being early.
- March 19, 2016 at 7:35 PM
I would like to ask a question and hope to get an honest opinion from a parent who might understand this a little better than me...
My daughter is not at the level like many players out there but she plays on a competitive team that plays in a good edp league and may not win a lot of games but the team does compete vs most of the teams. I asked our coach why we did not attend the disney tournament during the winter and recently the jefferson cup which many of the teams we face, both attended. The answer I received shocked me, but made TOTAL sense... Many of these coaches who coach these teams go to these high level "sleep away" tournaments bc it's a vacation for the coach. Coaches don't pay for the flights, the hotel, the rental car, the food, etc. When I heard this, it made total sense. Second- our coach mention, if you are not in the top flight (8 teams max) why would you bother. Our coach has us playing scrimmages- 2 a weekend, vs boy teams that are quicker, stronger, faster, smarter and the games are 15 minutes away from my house. Wow- makes sense.
I am new to all this and when I continue to hear about teams attending all these HIGH level tournaments as such a young age, it made me mad that our team, who can compete, does not attend these type of tournaments.
My question to you parents who go along with this would be, what kool aid does the coach serve your sideline? Why travel hours and hours away for something that is pointless. If you lose ONE game in these tournaments, the chances of your team making it to the final is slim. You just spent $400 on hotels, $300 on food, $250 on gas for what? 3- 60 minute soccer games? You can find the same competition 20 minutes from your town. Now I understand that tournaments matter bc of GOTSOCCER points but does it really? Just wait until your team is U15/U16 to attend showcases and whether your team has 0 points, if you're good enough, you're good enough and will get noticed.
I hope parents get off the TOURNAMENT train and realize what you are doing. Ask your coach what is the reason of going to these tournaments at such a young age. Why you are traveling 5-8 hours away when your teams is placed in the 3rd-8th flight in the tournament. See what your coach says when you told him that you spent $2000 dollars in 3 days and there's nothing to show for it but a medal- there no coaches watching. There no scouts. 85% of the teams that attend these tournaments are in a 25 mile radius of each other.. there should be a rule. Don't travel outside your area unless you can beat everyone by 3 goals. Then you prove you're worthy and must travel to get some competition.
I'm glad my coach was able to teach me like he teaches my daughter or else I would be driving home from Virginia in 18 hours for no reason..

no one forces anyone to attend a tournament. If you're scrimmaging boys, why isn't your team good enough to qualify for the top flight?
- March 19, 2016 at 9:58 PM
Your coach is an idiot and so are you. It's a "vacation" for a coach to leave his family for three days because he gets a free hotel stay??? Your message got bad at this point and went downhill from there. You make absolutely zero coherent points.
- March 19, 2016 at 10:10 PM
What is happening to Middletown at Jeff Cup? Getting embarrassed in the 4th flight. Another town team that had reached its peak. Otherwise NJ is well represented

The same post on the U14 board. Agree with 10:10. I do not agree with some teams that play 10 tournaments a year. But 4-5 is fine, builds team unity, kids love it, and I get along great with the other parents. We played one even in the fall and 2 or 3 this spring we'll have to travel to.

Lyon proved what most people knew, they are clearly the best team in NJ. Not close really.
- March 20, 2016 at 6:44 PM
There is no question Lyon is an exceptional team. I don't think anyone would disagree. But that should not mean we can't talk about other good teams too on this blog. Lyon might be better but that does not mean every other team in NJ is bad. They are just not as great as Lyon. Nothing wrong with that as long as daughters are thriving, enjoying themselves and forming great friendships with their teammates.
- March 20, 2016 at 8:56 PM
why we talking about Lyon at all? keep having your success by smashing teams at U12 this spring- 90% of your team is 03 birth year (and the better players are as well) you wont even make the 03 PDA team for next year. PDA GALAXY, NOVA, SHORE, CREW are all U13s that have 03 birth year. Only 2-3 players from lyon MIGHT have a chance
- March 20, 2016 at 9:09 PM
Good representation for NJ soccer. Glad the state could hold it's own against some good teams. Give credit when it's due. Results speak for themselves.

Sound like a hopeful Crew parent. Good luck. You guys looked good out there this weekend.
- March 20, 2016 at 9:42 PM
9:09, what a hater. Pathetic. BTW, that team is not 90% 2003s and the 2003s on Lyon will do fine when compared to the 2003s on Galaxy. Guarantee a large percentage of the U14 ECNL team will be Lyon players, my guess is 50%. Numbers work as Galaxy is more heavily weighted with 2002s than Lyon is 2003s. The U13 south team may factor in that.
- March 20, 2016 at 10:05 PM
To 9:42. Lyon is 60% '03 and so what? All age groups still represent one year. Are you going to knock successful teams under the new calendar year grouping because they are 90% pre- July birthdays? The Lyon '03s will be fine.
- March 20, 2016 at 10:07 PM
PDA with 27 goals scored and only one allowed in the top two early-season tournaments around is kind of silly.
Let's be honest, they have some real good players but that goalie just shut out the entire Jeff Cup top bracket!

- March 21, 2016 at 1:15 PM
Your PDA team was handed a gift from the CSA Torsion team on Saturday. The scoreboard did not reflect the completely outmatched speed of play and technical dominance our girls brought to you. With at least 80% possession we unfortunately did not find the back of the net though having 4 times as many shots as your team. Your goalie was outstanding. Your style of play was kick and run boot ball. Your brutal and dirty play was deplorable. You received 4 yellow cards, 2 of them to one player with no red card to follow, due to a teenage referee unable to control the game and a coach that chose not to control his players getting out of hand. That's OK, we move on, and everyone that watched that game, and TAPED IT, knows the class and technique that North Carolina brought to the game well outweighed whatever it was that PDA thought they brought. Everyone gets lucky every once in a while. Good luck at your next MMA match. Looking forward to seeing you in Texas in June, if you make it out of your State Cup. You should have no problem with that with all of the inferior match ups in NJ right?
- March 21, 2016 at 3:01 PM
They scored 9 goals on the weekend and allowed Zero as in (0). What are you talking about?
Talent in New Jersey? More in NJ than the entire region you guys play in!
Good luck as you just wait for CASL to take over your age division like it does every other NC age division.
- March 21, 2016 at 3:23 PM
3:01. Can you get someone to post a video of the match and share the link. Would be great to see if your evaluation is realistic.
- March 21, 2016 at 3:27 PM
I'd like to link to video also! Is it on Youtube yet?
- March 21, 2016 at 3:48 PM

- March 21, 2016 at 4:02 PM
3:01 Sean, glad you got that off your chest. Must have been a really really really long ride home to Charlotte stewing over the loss. Hope you feel better now. You have a decent team, possession was really good. You need some stronger forwards to be competitive. You are right about the officiating, however, calls went both ways. Feel free to lodge your complaint with Jeff Cup administrators. Have a great season buddy! Send me your email and I'll buy you a Jeff Cup shirt to dry your tears.
- March 21, 2016 at 4:04 PM
NJ > NC in soccer. Sorry Bubba. You guys are lucky it was only 2-0. Sore losers are interesting.
Now if PDA hadn't run through the rest of the field like Swiss cheese, maybe you'd have a point. But you don't considering.
Lastly, to diss NJ soccer talent is silly. No one can argue NC produces more than Nj either in pure numbers or in overall elite talent. New Jersey is better and your post doesn't show much of the supposed southern hospitality you guys are know for.
- March 21, 2016 at 4:10 PM
CSA Charlotte Slow At soccer…Seriously - decent possession style soccer but no athletes out there. Bunch of good kids that may not play really elite level soccer as they get older because they are slow a foot and there is not much you can do to remedy that. Sorry.

- March 21, 2016 at 4:56 PM
I have to agree with CSA troll. I watched the PDA/Aztec game and Aztec was by far the more skilled team. Lyon plays kick and run. They were bigger and faster. Aztec had a goal called back off a direct kick. Ball sailed right over the goalies hand. Ref calls it a goal. Goalie throws a tantrum and complains after realizing she should have saved it. Ref reverses his call.
- March 21, 2016 at 5:00 PM
Let CSA boy be. Obviously got his tidy whiteys in a bunch. Need to see the video!!
- March 21, 2016 at 5:02 PM
Aztec far more skilled? Interesting. They lost 3-0. Didn't see the game but come on. That's a huge loss at this age. It's easy to talk smack after a game.
- March 21, 2016 at 5:32 PM
Well - here goes...Despite winning 3-0 final in one of the most competitive tournaments anywhere, PDA got dominated by the Dallas Defeaters ECNL team. No for real...Their players were faster at dribbling and passing and they used their big goalie to block shots. Then they booted the ball with power in the net 3 times! They did all that in just 60 minutes too! If they had 80 minutes they would have used these kick and run tactics to win 4 or 5 zero. Defeaters should have won if PDA didn't use all those things to win!
I like the old haters who just talked about PDA playing up stuff and the not going to any good tournaments stuff. These guys crying about getting beat 3-0 in a 60 minute game are just insulting to the hard work those players from PDA put in to be the best.
- March 21, 2016 at 6:09 PM
Aztec is coming to the Pda kickoff. Look out jersey teams. They'll be looking for revenge. Just give them the trophy now.
- March 21, 2016 at 6:32 PM

- March 21, 2016 at 7:00 PM
I find it funny how people DARED PDA to go to Jeff Cup. They won. They worked hard and it all paid off. U can hate as much as you want, but PDA won and there is nothing to change that. During the Aztec/PDA game, the ball went over the net. The game's over, stop acting like children. You're grown adults. Instead of whining about other people's children, FIX YOUR OWN.
- March 21, 2016 at 7:12 PM
At the end of the day, Lyon went home with a big shiny Jeff Cup trophy. All the teams they played great soccer, but come on, 3-0 wins at this level of soccer is pretty good. good luck with the rest of your season.
The sore losers can spend the next 3 weeks hoping that Lyon loses out at their home tournament. I hear the CSA coach maybe starting a group therapy session.
- March 21, 2016 at 7:15 PM
Funny, when Lyon loses 1-0 to South Shore, they just get back to training, not jump on the Internet to moan about yellow cards, bad ref calls or optical goal illusions. Congrats on representing NJ soccer.
- March 21, 2016 at 7:21 PM
Agree. Not a Pda fan or parent but I'll give credit where credit is due.
- March 21, 2016 at 7:33 PM
With respect to NC soccer, just remember that Cary actually stands for "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees", so the whole southern hospitality thing is bogus. The attitudes are no different than in NJ.
- March 21, 2016 at 7:51 PM
Aztec- instead of complaining about your loss, focus on training and maybe you'll actually beat pda at their tournament.
- March 21, 2016 at 7:52 PM
not a parent of either team, but watched part of the Aztec - PDA game. The free kick goal from Aztec that clearly went in (a beautiful upper left hand corner shot) and was later called a non goal was one of the craziest and worst calls I have ever witnessed. Roughly 10 people around me saw a clear goal and watched the goalie talk the ref into thinking it somehow went over and somehow back inside the net. Shocking.
- March 21, 2016 at 9:52 PM
You forgot to mention that Lyon scored a goal in 15 seconds at the start of the game without a Aztec player ever touching the ball lol!!! Like in Rec level soccer!
You guys are so jealous - it's gross. Do you realize if these were 80 minute games they would have been 4-0 or 5-0! Give it up!
BTW - the ball went over the cross bar and was sitting on top of the net. Your talking magic trick - Voorhees Dad?
- March 21, 2016 at 11:25 PM
Not s PDA parent or hater.
Perspective on the PDA Lyon performance. They scored 9 goals and allied 0.
SDFC AND VOOrHEES - combined - scored 2 goals in 6 games, one each. Think about that.
They also allowed 5 in.
My question is who is the new #2 in New Jersey?
I have to Say it's Bergen Bulldogs based on this season's performances...
- March 21, 2016 at 11:49 PM
9:52. you are so right. I was there and heard the Lyon goalie tell the ref "that is not the goal you are looking for".
The force is strong in that one.
- March 22, 2016 at 3:26 AM
where are the Bergen Bulldogs playing this spring? I did not see them listed for edp.
PDA Lyon is a big step above the rest of the team's right now and it would have been interesting to see if anyone could eventually have caught up to them, but everything is about to change for next year so we will never know. Let's enjoy the spring and watch our daughters play the game. It would be great if instead of bashing teams we could actually be positive more often!
- March 22, 2016 at 7:39 AM
With all due respect, soccer is a sport – a contact sport. Many teams (PF, SDFC, CT) – all complaining that bigger faster teams are beating their painstakingly mastered, intricate, tiki taka style. If your child is a small, slight, or not real speedy kid, maybe put her somewhere where she can succeed by master movements in things like dance, lacrosse or field hockey.
It reminds me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YyBtMxZgQs
- March 22, 2016 at 8:04 AM
Are they complaining, or are they just commenting about their kids being beaten by bigger faster kids? Big difference. We say that but we aren't complaining. Rather we are recognizing what is beating our girls and we know they need to adapt or they won't be able to compete. You are right, soccer is a contact sport. I am always impressed with the players who are skilled and fast and can also use their bodies to further enhance their games.
- March 22, 2016 at 8:42 AM
There are nine penal or major fouls. These fouls must be committed intentionally and may result in a Red Card". The fouls are as follows:
• Kicking a player.
• Jumping up at a player.
• Charging a player in a rough way.
• Charging a player from behind.
• Tripping a player.
• Hitting or spitting at a player.
• Pushing a player.
• Holding a player.
• Handling the ball. (Except by a goalkeeper). This foul is called if the player is trying to control the ball with his hands or arms.
- March 22, 2016 at 9:09 AM
@ 8:42 Just saying there's a lot of nastiness that is unnecessary around this issue.
Parents have spent years and thousands of dollars to develop these skills early in their kids, thinking they will be the next big thing. Now they think their "growth spurt" will put them back on top.
These families can be really crazy – practically stalking kids, spreading rumors to coaches, their kids trying to injure others or not pass the ball – all to thwart the big athletic kids that are starting just now to specialize in soccer. Meanwhile, their kids get overuse injuries trying, in vain, to keep up.
It's like in basketball – you can't coach height.
- March 22, 2016 at 9:18 AM
Are these for youth players? Parents even dumber coaches go off about how "that's a red card!!!", when kids rule give them a little more leeway. They are learning. They catch the ball in the box reflexively. Do things accidentally. It's a warning, penalty shot, yellow at most.
There's also ref opinion, which may not be the same as an interested parent.
- March 22, 2016 at 9:22 AM
OK. So let me get this straight. PDA really got dominated in every game they played this weekend. LOL.
- March 22, 2016 at 9:27 AM
9:22 Red card if player does those things intentionally. Sure it's a ref's opinion on reflexive or intentionally. Open hand pushing if reflexive for any reason should be carded at all ages. I can see yellow card for warning then red. Since when has open hand pushing been an example reflexive response? Their shouldn't be leeway; 11 and 12 year olds know exactly what they are doing when they charge, hold, push etc. Thinking it's accidentally is an insult to the players intelligence.
- March 22, 2016 at 10:18 AM
In a youth game, I think the best refs are mindful of helping the kids learn the game. Most cards, but not all, i have seen presented are given after a player has been warned
- March 22, 2016 at 12:37 PM
even if the kick was a goal, u still would've lost 3-1! stop being sore losers and move on
- March 22, 2016 at 4:46 PM
I love how a 12 year old talked a ref out of a call.
- March 22, 2016 at 6:11 PM
I am having a hard time believing that a player talked a ref out of a call, let alone a goal. There were spectators at the game plus 2 linesmen and a center ref. The ball either went in the net or it didn't. It must not have gone in.
I am not from PDA, but we have played many PDA teams over the years. I don't understand their bad reputation. Great teams, very well trained, and parents have been just like all the other soccer parents we've come across. They cheer for their girls as they should. Nothing more. Can we stop the PDA hate already?
- March 22, 2016 at 6:39 PM
don't understand how sdfc is #1 in nj and lyon is #2?
- March 22, 2016 at 6:52 PM
Sdfc has played more tournaments so they have more points. Rankings are just that. They don't say who is best, just who has the most points. I don't think anyone would argue that PDA is better than sdfc, and I doubt anyone on PDA is worrying about being ranked 2nd instead of first. And like another poster said previously, it is all changing next year anyway. Let's worry more about soccer and much less about rankings
- March 22, 2016 at 7:11 PM
I think maybe that is what hapened. Ball went in the goal, goalie had discussion with ref and it was called a non-goal. Not a PDA, Aztec or even a parent from NJ - was just casually watching the game for a short time. Never seen anything like it and I have seen some bad calls in my time
- March 22, 2016 at 10:45 PM
At this point who cares. The final was 3-0. Hopefully the two will play again in a few weeks. Let's just see what happens.
- March 23, 2016 at 7:07 AM
"I think maybe that is what hapened. Ball went in the goal, goalie had discussion with ref and it was called a non-goal. Not a PDA, Aztec or even a parent from NJ - was just casually watching the game for a short time. Never seen anything like it and I have seen some bad calls in my time"
Last time for the dense…The ball went over the post and hit the top of the net that runs parallel to the crossbar. However much it appeared to go in to Dad that just stopped by- the ball stayed on the roof of the net and never came down. Referee inspected and saw ball on the outside of net - no goal.
- March 23, 2016 at 7:40 AM
Ball was on the ceiling above the goal - never came down - adult referee inspected and said no goal. Goalie had nothing to do with it - no complaint from Aztec Coach - you guys here are despicable.
- March 23, 2016 at 8:13 AM
Based on these comments alone, it sounds like PDA Lyon goalie is awesome and her defense must be outstanding. Period. And NO, I'm not a PDA parent. And no, I rarely read most of the nonsense written here. SNL should take some of this comment thread and make a 10 part series. I will check in again in a couple of months to see how I've been verbally attacked for posting this. Maybe someone will even attack my daughter who they have never met. #pathetic #cya
- March 23, 2016 at 8:40 AM
I'm sure the goalie is great, I mean no goals all weekend? Vs teams that are that competitive? I''d be happy with 1 shutout on a weekend like that.
Speaking of goalies and PDA, one supposed roster oddity is that apparently(2nd hand info) there are no 2004 goalies at all - at PDA North.
2004 Goalie spots will be up for grabs at several NJ academies and top teams as everyone tries to moves up a spot or two to Pre-ECNL Lyon or NPL Zizzou if this is true.
Who does goalie training at PDA? Separate days? Before or after practice etc? Does a goalie have to go three days a week?
- March 23, 2016 at 12:59 PM
Why is the moderator permitting discussion of specific children. Should not be allowed whether it is the parent bragging or not. It is an invitation for the abuse that comes every single time.
- March 23, 2016 at 1:42 PM
No 2004 goalies at PDA on Lyon or Zizzou but what about U11 teams A or the B?

we're looking for a good place for our daughter (04)- penn fusion or continental?
Coming from a closer knit team- culture is important to us, but we obviously want her to develop the best she can.
If we're faced with choosing I have no clue which way to go .
- March 24, 2016 at 12:22 AM
12:22 - Continental if you want to homestead. You are more likely to be replaced at PF as the years go on.
- March 24, 2016 at 10:38 AM
Other than teamwork, coaching, nurturing their love for the game, passion, and a sense of family, PF would be the best choice.
- March 24, 2016 at 12:25 PM
PF is very cut throat . Every player for themselves type of atmosphere . Everyone is replaceable .
- March 24, 2016 at 2:28 PM
I would certainly expect that if I paid the big big bucks for a program like that. Among other things, you are paying be on a team where the best players are chosen for the program and others are cut.
- March 24, 2016 at 4:16 PM
If you're daughter likes that kind of cut throat ,backstabbing ,environment then that's the place to go .
- March 24, 2016 at 5:36 PM
I just said that what these high level parents are paying for among other things.
Whether mine wants or does not want that environment is irrelevant. (unless she does a LOT more baby sitting and dog walking to help finance it LOL)
- March 24, 2016 at 6:37 PM
What non ECNL club should an 03 quality player be looking into in Southeast PA? FCUSA is trying to put together a showcase team, does anyone have an opinion of them?
- March 24, 2016 at 9:40 PM
Assuming your player is qualified to play where she wants, that is difficult advice to get from an anonymous chat board. Where are you located, how far do you want to travel, what is your soccer budget for training and fees, what coaching style suits your player, is an uber competitive sports atmosphere enjoyable or destructive for her, what is your time and money budget for tournaments? , For most players, answering those questions will eliminate a lot of clubs and visit and pick the best fit from those left on the list.
- March 25, 2016 at 8:38 AM
09:40 - Thanks for the reference to FCUSA. It made me look up FCUSA. I'm not sure if your post was a planted plug for FCUSA, or a legit question. Regardless, I learned something. Looks like LMSC might have a competitor.
- March 25, 2016 at 9:06 AM
Any relationship between FCUSA and Haverford Elite? Both are managed by UKElite.
- March 25, 2016 at 9:22 AM
Steve Wilman was a recent DOC at FCUSA, before moving on to DOC at FC Providence in 2015-16, I believe. I've known him from UK Elite training session at Nether/1776. Good guy, good coach, good trainer. FCUSA should be a decent place to play.
As I'm from that area, I also know Barnesy who coaches the Haverford Elite team. While I don't think the 02-03 team is affiliated with UK Elite, Barnesy and Ben Davey are UK Elite coaches and have a wealth of experience to draw from.
From what I hear, Lower Merion Fenix (03/04) are imploding. The Thunderbolts (02/03) are ok. Not sure what they're going to have for an 04, 03, or 02 team and who is coaching.
Probably not much difference between Haverford Elite and FCUSA, so whichever is closer would be your best bet. Or go to tryouts for both and try to get a gauge on what both clubs offer. If you can find more minutes on one club versus another, that would be my preferred choice. Don't chase wins over minutes. They have to play to develop.
- March 25, 2016 at 9:41 AM
Word on the street is Fenix are moving the team to FCUSA. If that is the case that will likely be a strong 03 Girls team.
- March 25, 2016 at 2:26 PM
Didn't the 1 Fenix player already leave and go to PDA ?
- March 25, 2016 at 4:43 PM
Multiple Fenix girls are already gone. One to PF too
FC Philly has tried to start a team w the fenix girls
- March 25, 2016 at 8:10 PM
In NJ FCUSA is a 3rd tier club at best.
- March 26, 2016 at 3:17 PM
The good one s have already left that team.
Any team going forward will be made up of the leftovers. Their craziness caused all the good ones to leave sooner than they might have.
No doubt the posts were those very same individuals trying to hype their scheme pretending to inquire. Past u12 teams stratify. Can't believe they they think they will rope in a bunch of top players to replace them and ride on their coat tails.
- March 26, 2016 at 7:44 PM
Voorhees Xtreme splitting up. Team is moving to Rush. Some girls not happy and leaving. What a shame. They were a great team and now they are unraveling.
- March 27, 2016 at 8:41 AM
which is it? The team is splitting up or the team is moving to rush?
Or some players going to rush and others elsewhere?
- March 27, 2016 at 9:34 AM
Some moving to Rush, others not happy about it are going elsewhere. They think changing to Academy will make them more prominent. Not a chance! They have a ring leader parent that is destroying their team. He thinks his daughter is the next Carli Lloyd. Give me a break! Not surprised by the implosion. They are not at all what they used to be!
- March 27, 2016 at 12:05 PM
@ 12:05 why so hostile on Easter Sunday?
- March 27, 2016 at 12:33 PM
I can see 03's wanting to go to rush.. 3 u13 teams. Most likey half of those teams are 03's. 03's will remain competitive with such large player pool.
Bad news for Voorhees's 04's - Rush's u11 and u12 teams not very strong.
Oh well! Kids are resilient! When one door closes another door opens.
- March 27, 2016 at 3:16 PM
@12:05 - you are so right. Agree with you 100%
- March 27, 2016 at 8:29 PM
This is why it is good to play at Pda. No parent drama. The club doesn't deal with idiot parents. You want to start problems you're gone. The team never splits up and looks to combine with another team. As long as you daughter can play at a high level there is no bs and no reason to leave. It's funny how all these town teams who claim to be the best around all split up at some point. It's just a matter of time.
- March 27, 2016 at 8:52 PM
Always one rotten banana in the bunch! Shame on that parent! I hope the other parents wake up and don't listen to that clown!
- March 27, 2016 at 9:11 PM
@12:05 I think I know the parent you are talking about. I think if his daughter goes to the Rush, it will be the fourth team that she will be on and she is only twelve. I think they change teams more times than they change their underwear! This is what you call a CLUB HOPPER!
- March 27, 2016 at 9:27 PM
OMG! What a surprise - NOT! I knew that team was going down the drain!
- March 27, 2016 at 10:06 PM
HOPPY Easter!!!!

What is the Voorhees trainer doing..is he going to rush with the group of girls that is going over..
- March 27, 2016 at 10:15 PM
Who cares?
- March 27, 2016 at 10:42 PM
@9:27 eventually they will run out of teams to play on..what a disgrace..
- March 27, 2016 at 10:56 PM
I feel sorry for the rush.
- March 27, 2016 at 11:01 PM
The Voorhees trainer is very good .
- March 27, 2016 at 11:56 PM
Let's ask the voorhees trainer how he feels about the rotten egg parent on the sidelines?????
- March 28, 2016 at 6:33 AM
Voorhees trainer isn't that good.. Any real trainer would take control of the team..he let the parents run the team so he could keep getting a pay check no respect for that guy at all.
- March 28, 2016 at 6:46 AM
No trainer should let the parents run the team..the rush trainer should run for cover..it will never change
- March 28, 2016 at 6:52 AM
I got an idea. Maybe the parent should coach and train the team.
- March 28, 2016 at 6:54 AM
@9:27 I know who you are talking about also. Shame they find a problem everywhere they go. The Xtreme was top notch team until they got there. Their ship has sunk and they are getting desperate. Don't forget to paddle.
- March 28, 2016 at 7:09 AM
REALITY CHECK for that parent. Dude your daughter gets shown up by the 2005 players on her team.
- March 28, 2016 at 7:41 AM
I smell a rat! I'm sure it was that parent's idea to talk some of the other parents into moving over to the rush. I hope the rush has mouse traps.
- March 28, 2016 at 7:55 AM
How many voorhees parents are you talking about? Doubt one person can do so much. Sounds like someone stirring up trouble.

- March 28, 2016 at 8:59 AM
when are they breaking up?
- March 28, 2016 at 9:05 AM
All town teams have been negatively impacted by the age appropriate rules that have been rolled out by US Soccer. Whether it is a Voorhees, Cherry Hill or any other town team these teams can't compete by playing up and keeping the team together. The end result is better players leaving and going to a academy level team like PDA, Penn Fusion maybe even Rush or the Baron's.
- March 28, 2016 at 9:32 AM
so much information. Voorhees team will be fine. 80% of team is 2004. Rush has already arranged for a new coach to take the 2004 team next year.
- March 28, 2016 at 12:07 PM
80% is not gonna be good enough. A new coach, that's a laugh. It's someone that is already coaching for DADDY and MOMMY Dearest's son and has been training the daughter. You think that he would be an honest trainer and tell them their daughter is just average. You're not fooling anyone. BOOM!
- March 28, 2016 at 12:22 PM
I don't understand the negative comments about the Voorhees team. If the parents are trying to put their daughters in a better environment to develop technically and compete why are folks against that. Some of the comments sound like folks have an axe to grind.
- March 28, 2016 at 12:45 PM
I don't think people are faulting the team, the girls are only 12. A better environment? Half of the negative comments about the Voorhees team on this blog are coming from their own parents. Start reading from the beginning! Don't think that changing environments is gonna help this group of parents. What is will always be!
- March 28, 2016 at 1:14 PM
College coaches know that when selecting a player you are also selecting the parents / family. Parents can lose opportunities for their children. High level youth sports are similar and a good program / coach will select accordingly.
- March 28, 2016 at 1:48 PM
Hahaha 80% that doesn't mean all the 04 r following u moses to the promise land of rush haha
- March 28, 2016 at 1:58 PM
These parents and many others are just dollar signs prancing around the heads of these clubs.
Sounds like vorhees parents on here should be chatting with each other directly instead of through some anonymous blog that is probably run by one of their own parents.
real madrid going to sjeb. teams going to rush. players going to pda. pf and continental infighting. pda north laughing at everyone.
the smartest people are the people with kids just having fun playing soccer somewhere with no knowledge of blogs and ecnl.
- March 28, 2016 at 2:38 PM
@1:48 college coaches, ha-ha. We are talking about 12 year old girls. Also, college coaches don't deal with families at all - they deal strictly with the player. If you're a college coach and you are on a U12 soccer blog, you can't be a good one.

If it is Voorhees parents (current or previous)making negative comments about another parent or child on the team that's a sad state of affairs. Voorhees has a paid coach. Why isn't he making the decisions? I think the changes in the landscape make it very difficult for a town team to succeed, which is sad. If a child wants to play at a high level, the only options seem to be the Penn Fusion, SJEB, PDA and Rush. I've been on this blog twice hoping to see a healthy conversation about changes in the soccer arena. Other age brackets have useful information. Why does this age just knock teams and players?
- March 28, 2016 at 2:45 PM

I have been reading through these posts, and some people are saying that the academy teams will be okay and that the club teams are screwed. I think I may have to disagree. My daughter plays on an academy team and I have been hearing rumors of a couple of academy players on different academy teams jumping ship. Some academy teams did very poorly this past season. My daughter is an 04 and has asked me about taking her to try out at TBAA Sonics. They are located not too far from PDA in Westampton and closer than SJEB barons. I have had the opportunity to see that team play a few times, and they are quite impressive. The team is very talented. I think they may be the dark horse! I have been asking about their team, and was told that they are mainly 04's and have a few 05's, but their 05's are beasts and are extremely skilled. I hear they are looking for a keeper and to add a few players. I researched their trainer/coach and he is the women's soccer coach at Rider University. I'm not plugging for their team (although my daughter will be attending their tryouts), just saying that the academy teams will also feel the effects!

Sonic is mediocre They are moving to Rush which is an academy you dingbat.
- March 29, 2016 at 5:30 PM
I see. Some of Voorhees 04's are going to Rush to play with the Sonics under the Rider coach. Sonics get the club hopping player/parents. Exteme gets the Extremly skilled 05 beasts. Except someone from sonics wasn't clued in on the plan and advertises for their team here.
It's a great day in south jersey soccer!
- March 29, 2016 at 5:42 PM
@3:08 trying to talk like you in da hood isn't fooling anybody that you're those "parents" from Voorhees. They should have never let you on the team. Like we all don't know that the last 5 posts are from you! You got played! Now you are trying to pick on a different team thinking that people are going to start ripping on them instead of you being the joke of all south jersey soccer. I sure hope that the Sonic players do move over to the rush because they can run rings around your daughter. Oh that's right, your daughter will still make the team because the trainer/coach is a personal friend. Or so you think? Don't think that the Voorhees parents are that naive and don't know that your daughter trained with the Sonic during the winter. So much information? Someone in your circle of trust is such a talker. Nice though. Baa-ha-ha.
- March 29, 2016 at 5:58 PM
I know. Maybe your daughter could take up piano or art. Maybe she is more skilled with her hands, since she most certainly isn't skilled with her feet!
- March 29, 2016 at 6:05 PM
interesting. did you think your plan all the way through moses? how are the Voorhees parents going to feel when they practice and scrimmage with the sonic. those girls can probably school your girls. after all, the rider coach that you have been bragging about has been training and coaching them for about 2 years now.
- March 29, 2016 at 7:08 PM
@3:08 Now I see why people have written all these posts about you! You stole a post that I wrote on another blog and put it on here like another parent did it. Duh - people on these blogs go on more than one page. You are an idiot. Obviously, someone should tell the sonic to stay away from you.
- March 29, 2016 at 7:20 PM
All town teams that have competitive teams will have to eventually move. They are not attracting many players anymore and now the byc is going to kill them. Good for the rush.
- March 29, 2016 at 7:40 PM
NO WAY posts made about TBAA were from their coach or parents. Their team name is not the sonics. If you are gonna try to make up stories and comments about them, please do your research first and get there name right!

How many teams does PDA have at u12 ?
- March 29, 2016 at 10:43 PM
PDA's website would have that info
- March 29, 2016 at 11:59 PM
PDA has 4 teams at U12 according to their site and supposedly no 2004 goalies at according to this blog...
- March 30, 2016 at 12:29 AM
It is really sad and disturbing that if someone comes to this blog to look for real information about South Jersey soccer all they find is negative and disparaging comments about 11 & 12 years kids. It also appears that some of the comments have racial overtones. What does that say about the South Jersey soccer community?
- March 30, 2016 at 1:24 AM
There are crappy people everywhere!
What does it say about you who makes a blanket statement characterizing the whole South Jersey Soccer community based off of what you read on this blog?
- March 30, 2016 at 7:38 AM
@7:56 Maybe not the u12 version but YES WAY! the u11 version of the post is from the teams coach.
- March 30, 2016 at 7:54 AM
@ 7:54 Dude, just like on the u11 blog NO ONE CARES! Stop posting your stupid crap. Didn't your mama tell you, if you don't have anything nice to say than don't say anything at all.
- March 30, 2016 at 9:17 AM
@7:54 get a life and stop living through your daughter!

Why are specific players and their families from the Voorhees team mentioned on this blog? It's one thing for an adult to read this, but it's another if a child reads this. How do you think they would feel? Or maybe you don't care. Is it your place to say a player is mediocre or to call out their parents? I find it funny to see religious references (example - Moses), but the text associated with it, is not very Christian like or even decent human being like. If a player is mediocre, that should be addressed by the coach. And if it's not being addressed by the coach, why is the child blasted? Why is the family blasted? The coach is paid,correct? If people have an ax to grind, you should go to the person not post on a blog. It's just stirring the pot. Why stir the pot? Worry about your child and your family. At 3/28 @2:45pm, if it is a Voorhees parent making these comments it's a shame that this family doesn't even know that someone is smiling in their face and at the same time stabbing them in the back.
- March 30, 2016 at 12:37 PM
I find it funny that I planted a seed and watched how fast the thorns grew. I know it is going to be like walking on eggshells at practice now, not knowing which parent is talking behind your back. I wonder if the Rider coach knows that you ruined his plan, or even better, your friend that is the coach of the other team that you just threw under the bus. I'm sure he won't be happy when he finds out all of the "Daddy Coach" posts that you made about him. I am guessing that he and the team's parents will not be too happy with things that you said, especially when they were kind enough to let your daughter train with them. There goes your plan b. You won't even be able to lower yourself down a peg to join their team when you wake up and find out some of the 04s are not going with you. After all, they are just mediocre - isn't that what you said about the sonics?😬
- March 30, 2016 at 2:13 PM
Their team name is not the sonics. It is Sonic. If you are gonna try to make up stories and comments about them, please do your research first and get there name right!
- March 30, 2016 at 3:28 PM
Why are the Voorhees parents going back and forth on this blog did things end that bad over there ur spring season hasn't even started yet let the girls enjoy the last spring season together before everyone goes there way the girls have been together for years. Ok parents have a bad taste in there mouth let it go and grow up move on. Can't change the past so move forward.
- March 30, 2016 at 4:05 PM
Does anyone know the future plans of the Voorhees trainer ?
- March 30, 2016 at 5:35 PM
@5:35. Are you unfamiliar with the Internet? Look him up and ask. Probably a more useful way to obtain accurate info than an anonymous blog posting. Might want to share that tidbit with your daughter. Might help her with her studies.
- March 30, 2016 at 7:23 PM
thanks but my daughter doesn't need help with her studies . She's in advanced classes with an IQ over 145 . Maybe you should focus on your own daughter. With an ass like you for a Dad she's gonna need all the help she can get . Good luck to her !
- March 30, 2016 at 8:33 PM
Before you criticize someone else's spelling, please learn the difference "there" and "their". The person you called out probably just hit a wrong key by accident, you on the other hand, have an obvious intelligence issue.
- March 31, 2016 at 8:24 AM
Difference "between"
- March 31, 2016 at 8:25 AM
Do you have to tell your coach if you are going to a try out at another club? Our club has said we must tell them if we are going to other try outs. They said it is a small community and they will find out from the coaches at other clubs when they "hang out" together. Can you share thoughts, opinions, experiences on this topic?
- March 31, 2016 at 9:03 AM
I can see a coach asking for a courtesy heads up if players may possibly be leaving, The club doesn't own your daughter. There are too many variables to consider to predict the 'consequences' of them finding out you went to another tryout. That may be a good question to ask them. What would happen if I my daughter attends another team tryouts. if the coach is angry or vindictive about your daughter trying out elsewhere, is that really the type of coach or club you want?
The more upfront and transparent you are with the coach the less likely you are to burn a bridge. if it was my daughter, I would discuss my concerns and reason for considering the move with the coach.
- March 31, 2016 at 10:08 AM
Agree with 10:08. At this young age, playing time and development are all you should be focusing on. If a coach is trying to intimidate you, then that tells you everything you need to know. While you don't want to be a nomad traveling from club to club, you have to be willing to do what is best for your daughter.
Remember, you are the consumer. You are paying them.
Be honest. Ask questions.
- March 31, 2016 at 11:00 AM
I do not believe that you need to tell the coach. Depends on your relationship and if you are really leaving. They will almost certainly find out. BTW, tryouts are not the best route, and many teams are pretty much set by tryouts with just a few slots at most left. Very hard to sort through the chaos in tryouts. Go to a training, much better route to a team.
- March 31, 2016 at 11:11 AM
You don't need to tell the coach but it is obviously disruptive to the entire team to lose players. 99 percent of the time good, mature communication will be helpful to everyone involved.
- March 31, 2016 at 11:21 AM
11:11 what sort of competitive team is already set prior to tryouts?
- March 31, 2016 at 12:37 PM
I would assume coaches have a good idea of which players are staying and possibly new additions. There is a good chance at least 70% of the roster is probably already decided. Maybe some don't give it much thought prior to tryouts if their club has multiple teams in age group. Don't you think it would be poor planning to not know before tryouts. I pity the players whose team folds after tryouts. Poor planning or maybe coach was blindsided. Who ever is to blame, there is always a few players who get left out of the loop searching for a team after tryouts.
The past couple days of post is a good example. Two SJ town teams hoping to have their roster set before tryouts. (If you believe any of the past couple days of posts Yikes!)
- March 31, 2016 at 1:42 PM
Only a fool believes what is posted on an anonymous blog. Last couple of days is perfect example. Lots of hostility, very little substance. Fully agree that this years tryouts will see kids getting multiple looks. All the more reason why rosters can't be set.
- March 31, 2016 at 6:06 PM
At the top clubs, say you have a team of 16 kids and you want 16-18 for next year. You have say 8 coming back as 2004s, and you like 6 of them. Those 6 already have offers. You have another 6 from the U11 team that you have to keep because the club is not burning the younger players who will leave if they aren't on the A team. So now you have 12 filled spots and can bring in 4-6 more. We'll you have had 10 kids at practice in the 3 weeks before tryouts and you have offered 4 and they have strongly indicated they are in. so now you have 16 kids in, and two spots left if you should find someone that shows up at tryouts that blows you away. chances are you hold those spots for some kids at PDA are other clubs that are real players and may want to move. That's how this plays out this year in most places where the teams are good and content.
- March 31, 2016 at 6:26 PM
@6:06. There is a little bit of truth in all those posts.
@6:26. yup! Just like that.
- March 31, 2016 at 9:00 PM
6:26 is spot on!
- March 31, 2016 at 9:14 PM
Until it becomes clear where the DA is likely to be.
- April 1, 2016 at 9:44 AM
You are not getting into the DA. STOP already.
- April 1, 2016 at 10:05 AM
The GDA won't be decided till after tryouts and offers have been made. Parents can try to move their daughter to a GDA after announcement if team has roster spots available. Why so much jockeying for something that is suppose to be fun.
- April 1, 2016 at 10:08 AM
Maybe their club will. Surely somebodies kid one these blogs will have a daughter make a gda team.
- April 1, 2016 at 10:13 AM
That GDA is going to load up They will rake it in even faster than the ECNL.
- April 1, 2016 at 10:16 AM
List I saw another forum that has been correct many times, sows that initial launch of the GDA is not slated to include a NJ club.
- April 1, 2016 at 10:24 AM
Post the link or copy/paste the list?
- April 1, 2016 at 2:46 PM
I love rugby the ball is bigger and longer ouch hope it doesn't hurt
- April 1, 2016 at 4:48 PM
LOL, please stop. DA hasn't even begun the selection process and won't announce clubs for quite a while. NJ will have multiple DAs, who they are and how that is decided is complex.
- April 1, 2016 at 10:18 PM
Tryouts coming up!! Who's going where?
- April 2, 2016 at 2:59 PM
60-80 at MFA 2003 and 50-70 at MFA 2004. This include current players...
Probably 70-90 at PDA 2003 and close to that for 2004.
2003 goalies should be at MFA since they have nobody great.
& All 2004 goalies should try-out at PDA since they have none and will probably need 3 or 4...
- April 2, 2016 at 4:15 PM
How do you guys feel about shaving the whole body to go faster.
- April 2, 2016 at 7:56 PM
Are those numbers for the main sites only (like North for PDA) or for all?
- April 3, 2016 at 9:34 AM
Main sites.
- April 3, 2016 at 10:28 AM
Final 04 number pda north 222 good luck lucky 10
- April 3, 2016 at 4:49 PM
Who needs PDA, Penn Fusion, Barons, voorhees or even Real When you have Millville Pride baby! Winner winner chicken dinner. They beat NJ Rush in PK's. Say whattttttttttttt??????
- April 4, 2016 at 12:10 AM
Hey millersville, go back to your trailer and leave the bragging at the door. You're s SJ wannabe team who packs the box and prays for a lucky bounce. Come back if you actually win something.
- April 4, 2016 at 12:30 AM
That's Mr Millbilly to you. Good day sir..........
- April 4, 2016 at 12:35 AM
The SJEB 03 West is looking for a scrimmage on either 4/16 or 4/17.
If interested, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
- April 4, 2016 at 7:51 AM
What does PDA 222 and lucky 10 mean?
- April 4, 2016 at 9:46 AM
Millville is actually bragging about a win against Rush? The U12 9v9 Blue team? You won in PK's! Huge honor! Now play against one of the quality 11v11 teams on this page. It would be 6-0 within 15 minutes! When you want to play with the big girls let any of the teams know.
- April 4, 2016 at 9:56 AM
Lucky 10 will get the privilege of paying thousands a year to learn to play soccer well and be on a winning kid soccer team.
