Not sure that applies to this team.  The 4 that start on the bench come in after 7 minutes and are usually rotated equally.  This team really doesn't have any holes... positions or players.  But to answer the question, lately 3 of the 4 coming in off the bench are 03's, but they're just as strong.   In addition, the 04's will be getting 3+ studs off the 05 team when AP happens.  It will remain a VERY good team.

Are you saying lately that 8 of the starters have been 04s?

It constantly changes, there are no set bench players, every one of them can play just about every position. Every one of them can score, every one of them can defend. Looking at it on paper though, looks like 04s start with any where from 6 to 7 of the 11.

Ok that is alittle much.But Thanks

Sorry those four lines of copy was too much, I'm at work and my 80HD kicked in. I will try and shorten it next time and include pop-up pictures and a coloring section for you next time.

I'm impressed.

04 girls will be interesting next year . SLSC has 8 returning as SSD stated and have been working in true age 04s the last couple of tournaments (last one we had 11 out of 14 true age 04). I suspect other clubs will do the same if given the opportunity.

Curious what Norman will do and who there coach is. Maybe sooner5 can fill us in on that. OFC released their coaching slate and it will be interesting to see how many 04s are on their good 05 team. TSC first team will be very strong but i am curious what their second team looks like as they have historically had two strong teams. Also curious about blitz not sure what they have in the 04 age group.

I think tryouts are going to be a blast. So much unknown for some teams and will be fun to watch parents scrambling. Its free agent season for a lot of kids!

I am sure Rother is going to coach Norman's 04s next year. Norman has been practicing the 05s and 04s together this spring.

The 05s at Ofc have 8 or 9 ap 05s on the first team. And last I heard they were staying down and playing with the 05s next year. So they will be very good.

From what i hear most large clubs are not giving 04s 05s et al the option of playing up. I assume this is going to be the case at OFC since Hampton is staying with 05s and Phillips going with 03s. it will be interesting what Norman does because it would appear that if he lets 05s play up to 04s that would decimate the 05 age group. Lot of challenges for DOCs

Where are you seeing who is coaching what teams at Ofc?

It was listed the other day, not sure if it still is.   Basically looked like this

06 - Hampton
05 - Hampton
04 - Hubbard
03 - Phillips.

SLSC and other clubs are out.  Do you know when norman will publish their list?   The whole playing teams up is interesting also.   One would think that bigger clubs wouldn't need to as they would be able to field stronger age pure teams.

. Wow. Methinks the US Women's team will be in good supply in about 7 years

Looks like Parker is struggling

That happens when you are missing key players. Also when the other team had Griffin girls playing for them.

Makes sense

Ofc
Griffin
Slsc
Blitz
Parker
This is my prediction for the end of the season.

Not Griffin! But anything can happen in girls soccer, so I guess we'll see....

We will be back stronger than before.

Well Cosmos must have had some insider information. Thats all I will say.

What do you mean Oakie75?

Changes have been made that will make a difference in the standings.

Aside from maybe pride does it even matter this spring?
