Gamers 01

There are some top teams carrying 02's on their roster. But it is rare. kepinitrel the best choice for you and your DD if she wants to play is to find an 02 team. I believe Gamers has an 02 team unless they have folded. If not Strike Force has an 02 team if you live in that area. But if you think your DD is going to not only make that team, but take someone's spot. Then you are not keeping it real with yourself. Last I checked they are doing just fine without you. Hope I did not offend you. I am just keepin it real.

I kind of deserved it. But honestly, I think I got that "elite" moniker from someplace here on HB, which I have now stricken from my vocabulary. I still think the OP is hilarious, though. "My daughter is 9 and can play anywhere." Does that mean location, position or level of competition? That is one proud papa or just delusional and myopic.

Aww, he's not delusional/myopic. He just believes what the college coaches were all telling him when his kid verballed.

OK Solomon Squirrel, since today seems to be all 10U all the time as far as new posts go, what is your best 10U story, or did you know to keep DD out of TB until she got to an age when the team parents were smarter and less rabid

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the OP (first post) isn't the said 9 yr old's parent, but someone who is pissed off or jealous about this 9 yr old mercenary who is trying to join this "elite" team, and is making a statement.
Oh what a tangled web we weave...

OK, my brain is starting to hurt....

My kid started in 12U when the wreck All Star Team decided to try travel ball. She would have started earlier if she wanted to. I never tried to dictate which team, which level or even which sport(s) either of my kids played. As I've said before, she quit softball when she was 13 and focussed on soccer for a year. She was a better softball player than a soccer player but I didn't say anything to her about it. I thought she was done with softball. Whatever. I thought she was going to embarrass herself the first 18 team she tried out for but I didn't tell her. I certainly didn't know not to have her in 10U. In my house, kids played sports because they enjoyed it. If/When they stop enjoying it, they stop playing. She returned to softball because she stopped enjoying soccer, thanx to the douche bag who was coaching her. (Thanx Platini - you did more for her than you probably did for any other kid)

BTW, not all parents get progressively less rabid over time. There are some real winners in college.

Hows that for a long answer to a simple question?

Thanks for sharing. Hardly wait till the college season starts up. Better advise your lawyer that Platini might be filing that defamation of character suit.

You're right. I formally retract what I said. I should have said Platini was and surely still is a GIANT DOUCHE BAG who ultimately did infinitely more for my kid by driving her out of the game than he did for every other kid he [failed miserably] to coach.

Whew. That was close. Thanx for the advise!

"BTW, not all parents get progressively less rabid over time. There are some real winners in college."

It appears so. The UCS website is a scary place.

I just want my DD to play for the best travel ball team out there and the best coaches. Gamer girls look very well coached. My DD is an 02 but she can hang. Gamers got a few 02's on the squad so it won't hurt for 1 more....that's if my DD makes the team.

[juandoe]

I just hope the parents on the team don't run us out lol. we are coming to take someone's spot....WATCH OUT

Looks like you have come to your senses a little. Good luck to you and your DD in finding a team for her. Hopefully your daughter makes their team. Because the last thing I want is for your 02' stud to come to my dd's team and take her spot.
