It can be intimidating for girls when you are suddenly ranked and dealing with success. We had two seasons where we learned to do that and built character and pride in our program. Then we went out and lost in the 3rd round by a goal to the state champ. We didn't feel intimidated or scared, because we had 2 and a half seasons of expectations and confidence. Once that confidence and swagger is established, it's time to tune up the schedule become a big girl.
I really think Soccer Rocks is just trying to get a rise. Hug him if you see him.
Agree across the board Dale jr. And Cid to your comment about scheduling tough non-region games I agree.....totally,
once the team has established itself.
Jim Finnerty did a great job of scheduling Fort Mill when he was here.....not just good tournaments, but also playing a bunch of the Charlotte schools. Not lesser Charlotte schools, but the best schools.
But he had an established program with high expectations and most importantly....a good mix of players. A lot of good solid club players and usually 1 or 2 D-1 caliber playmakers.
If half your team doesn't play club soccer and you don't have a kid destined for USC or Clemson or C of C.....then you need to take a different approach.
