X Server 220.127.116.114 Released
Published on 30 June 2008 12:28 PM EDT
Written by

The development cycle for
X.Org 7.4
has stretched on for months longer than anticipated, and earlier this month it sounded like
X.Org 7.4 would end with a quick release
, but still it's being dragged out longer. This morning the release manager for X.Org 7.4, Adam Jackson, had announced the release of
X Server 188.8.131.524
. This is another development release -- equivalent to a Release Candidate 4 -- before X Server 1.5.0 is ready for X11R74.
In total, X Server 22.214.171.1244 has 81 changes, which consist of CVE security fixes, fixes so the X Server can build properly on the Alpha platform, dropping the GLCore dependency (and move it to dynamic loading), memory leak fixes, and more. With that said, the
X.Org 7.4 bug tracker
is now cleared out! Unfortunately though, not all of the original bugs were addressed as some were moved to being cleared at a later time (circa
X.Org 7.5
in 2009). Building X Server 220.127.116.114+ now requires building against
Mesa 7.1 RC1
or later.
It looks like X.Org 7.4 and X Server 1.5.0 may finally make it out the door in July,
not in May
as once planned. For the features coming with X.Org 7.4, check out

U12 Girls Youth Soccer in Region 1
385 comments:1 – 200 of 385 Newer› Newest»
- June 2, 2014 at 4:53 PM
New National Rankings out....NJ and MD holding 6 of the top 7 spots.
- June 2, 2014 at 9:09 PM
Who cares about rankings they are u11. Those GotSoccer rankings will change drastically by the same time next year. Plus how do rank teams when some teams are playing 8v8 and other are 11v11 total two different games.
- June 2, 2014 at 11:35 PM
11:35 don't read them then.
Do agree that should be separate rankings for 8 v 8 and 11 v 11..but is what it is.
- June 3, 2014 at 4:10 AM
4:10am - Seriously why are posting that early in the morning. Rankings do not even show the true quality of a team. You have teams that enter 6-8 tourney's a year + league play. These teams are what I call point chaser teams and then you have a quality U11 team in PDA Galaxy that placed in 3 GS events this past year and did not play in a league with GS points and are right up there.
Shows that Gotsoccer has it totally wrong with the younger ages should of kept it at u14 and up.
Also agree with 11:35 8v8 and 11v11 should in different categories.
- June 3, 2014 at 11:07 AM
OMG 11:07 AM...why are you posting at 11:07 am...what are you doing...why aren't you working?
Give it a break....hopefully your team makes it somewhere some day....but my bet is not!
These teams shouldn't be penalized bc they won tournaments and leagues with points tied to them. That's how the world goes round...not everyone gets a trophy every time for showing up! Galaxy is a great team but they have been beaten and will lose again.
Guessing your team hasn't won a thing...prove me wrong.
- June 3, 2014 at 11:59 AM
I agree that the rankings are BS at this age but if you currently look at them they really are reflective of who the best U11 teams are in NJ right now. They're actually pretty accurate. Good part is anyone in the top 10 can beat each other on any given day which is a testament to the strength of all those programs.
- June 3, 2014 at 4:59 PM
6/1- 7:53: What team are you referring to? Very moving fictional story.
If this fictitious story is about a particular team that is slated to be dis-banned next season, well...I seriously doubt that a player would have said that about their coach. Additionally AND specifically, since all the "fiery" defenders are already going to PDA. Really moving story, coach!!!
- June 3, 2014 at 5:34 PM
PDA Shore?
- June 3, 2014 at 8:53 PM
Gotsoccer rankings are not perfect but as good as you
Will get. Just like all rankings in sports. The computer will
Just crunch the data & spit it out.
There is only one team beating out of state ranked teams.
Check the top 5 teams records. You will figure it out.
Sure on any given day any team can be beat.
What separates the best from the rest is the body of work.
- June 4, 2014 at 8:53 AM
Hey long time lurker...really?? I think you got your fiery defenders wrong. I was a spectator at the game and from what I could see there was a undefeatable defender from the other team that STOPPED the striker in her tracks and did not let her come close to scoring. Now that is a fiery defender! Why isn't she going to pda to play?
- June 4, 2014 at 9:34 AM
Congratulations on stopping a mid level striker that many have stopped this season. Keep patting yourselves on the back NJX for beating average competition and losing to the best. From reading the posts above, didnt you get one of those players from that team?
- June 4, 2014 at 11:01 AM
@8:53 I agree Gotsoccer is not perfect but it is also mis-understood at this age group. You mention Top 5 but if you look at Top 10 3/4 of those teams still play 8v8 and I think those teams will not match up well in 11v11(vs. PDA Galaxy/Nova, NJX, SJEB, Rush. So it doesn't show the true story yet.
To me Gotsoccer Rankings should only be done on full sided teams. 8v8 is great for development and the true Eurpean style. But points in points in Gotsoccer are for full sided teams not teams still trying to develop at 8v8. Soon enough they'll go lower ages and we'll start seeing 5v5 teams in other states u9/u10. lol
- June 4, 2014 at 11:40 AM
@11:59 6/3: For a matter of fact my daughter is on one of the PDA Teams ranked in the Top 10. You are probably just unhappy person thus the reason to come on here and stalk the blog 4am in the morning.
To point out Gotsoccer ranking great idea and concept. Alot better view then what was done in the past. The U11 year is more for capturing history for proper placement come u12 when all quality teams go full sided at u12. Hopefully all teams in NJ go 11v11. No need for 8v8 brackets in EDP NJ. Unless they lure PA teams that play 8v8 into the EDP league to give additional competition.
Total agree 8v8 and 11v11 needs to be ranked differently.
Out of those Top15 which of them are staying 8v8. Anyone know?
- June 4, 2014 at 1:29 PM
"A player who really wants to excel will spend as much time as possible playing small-sided games when he has playmates, and juggling and kicking against the wall when he's on his own." Claudio Reyna (and US Soccer)
But NJ PDA Parents think it's more important at the ripe old age of 11 yrs to go after got soccer points?
And we all know that PDA crowns itself the Best Club in the World, so they must be on to something and smarter than the rest of the USA playing 8v8 games, and the rest of the world playing small sided pickup at this age.
(But in reality you end up driving your kids to private foot skill lesson 5 days a week to get the ball touches they would have otherwise gotten playing small sided).
Which choice looks like the smarter path to take? Duh.
- June 4, 2014 at 3:42 PM
3:42 - Nice theory except a certain PDA north team didn't go to numerous tournaments and chase GotSoccer points like other same-aged teams. They participated in 3 tournaments and all were in NJ. They aren't "going after" GotSoccer points. They are that good to earn enough with only 3 tournaments.
And that fellow posters is scary. 3 tournaments and they are #4 in NJ. Champions of 2 and Finalist for the 3rd. Everyone above them have 2x the list of Got Soccer point-earning activities. To me those are the point chasers. But I guess if you can't do it minimally through quality like Galaxy then you have to do quantity and go here, there, and everywhere to cobble together the points.
- June 4, 2014 at 4:41 PM
@ 3:42pm
You are clueless..
If you ever go to a PDA North practice. You will see the coach split the teams into small sided games.
What do you think they are working on. " Kick the ball
& chase it Sally" NO control in tight spaces. Control
Under tight pressure. Claudio is correct. If your kid wants to be elite. They have to want it. That means
Working on their own skills. A coach can give you all the tools you need but if you don't practice with the tools. You will not master how to use the tools.
As for PDA. How many clubs around the US can say
They have two Playrers from the same club playing for the US national team. Not even on the mens side.
Stay off the blog if you don't know what you are talking about.
- June 4, 2014 at 5:53 PM
When it comes to PDA, you can follow the advice of one or the other:
(A) a bunch of internet blowhards who have nothing better to do than ridicule the club, or
(B) a former US national team player (27 caps), MLS player (353 appearances), and MLS Head Coach (68 games), who sends his child there for training.
Do you really need a hint as to who probably has the better sense of things?
- June 4, 2014 at 9:23 PM
3:42....I think we all agree that Galaxy is a great team...but you tooting your own horn takes away from that...have lost some respect for your team.
DO YOU understand how points work? Got soccer bases their point allotments per tournament by taking into account how many got soccer points teams in the tournament have.
Sooooo, your mighty Galaxy would have not earned a pile of dung if it wasn't for the other teams in the tournaments who had earned points by playing in the toughest tournaments and leagues.
- June 5, 2014 at 7:14 AM
NJX Sol got ZERO points at their last 3 tournaments (Delco, PDA and Jeff Cup) and yet they are ranked 6th in NJ based on GS. They are getting points via EDP league play. If Galaxy cared about points they would leave JAGS.
- June 5, 2014 at 8:29 AM
PDA aren't truly interested in long term development. Otherwise they would set the precedent for playing 8v8 up til U12s and transition to 11v11 at U13. But they won't. They have their U10s playing in a 11v11 tournament this weekend, i mean what on earth are they doing?
Lets face it if PDA changed and had the 8v8 at U12 and below model then clubs would follow, but they won't. Tells you what type of "coaches" they use there if they aren't telling the owner what is right for the players. And if they are telling him then it's the owners fault for not doing what is right.
- June 5, 2014 at 8:43 AM
5:53 go check where those national team players spent their developing years? It wasn't at PDA. Girls come to Prato play in te showcases at u16. Of this years senior class of PDA girls with commitments, more than half did not develop at PDA.
- June 5, 2014 at 8:46 AM
Caught up reading posts. Someone gleefully posted, as proof that their child will be at PDA come ecnl years, that Galaxy had no cuts this year. Whether that is true or not, go ask Mr. A how many girls left PDA this past summer, before this years U14 squad touched foot on their first ecnl pitch. 40+ girls left! Two entire teams. So hang onto that 3 letter jersey a little tighter because you still have a long way to go.
- June 5, 2014 at 8:53 AM
8:46am. Correct. Heather O'Reilly played for East Brunswick until she was U16 or 17 and then went to PDA. Doesn't the acronym stand for "Players Developed Already"?. Taking credit for the development of National Team players when they had very little to do with their development is ridiculous.
- June 5, 2014 at 9:24 AM
The claim against PDA - and what was most likely lodged at Nova and not Galaxy - was about chasing Got Soccer points. Galaxy doesn't chase points.
I don't see the other "academies" like Match Fit & FC Copa with U8 teams. They are not developing talent at the early ages but take other people's efforts. PDA at least has the kahunas to start teams at U8.
- June 5, 2014 at 10:22 AM
Cough cough. Check the current Galaxy roster and see how many started at U8 at PDA. I think you will find 5 at most.
You can't win claiming "development" at PDA. You must be a newbie parent or ostrich parent, with no idea as to what goes on at older ages.
- June 5, 2014 at 11:09 AM
9:23 yes, I can see where the MLS model and former USMNT mindset is working well for the USA. Keep following it, while the rest if us move on and improve.
Did you happen to catch Klinsmann's latest interview, or are you too busy staring at Gotsoccer rankings?
- June 5, 2014 at 11:17 AM
PDA - always a club looking to find the next big thing. Meaning if a kid is very noticable on the field and parents are willing to move they will add to the roster.
When do you ever hear PDA turn down a quality player becuase there is no room on a roster.
Yes Galaxy is a good team so are others NJX, NOVA, SJEB, RUSH, but if a kid is undeniable above and beyond already developed. So a player still in the process of progessive development is thrown out the door at this age group to join these teams.
- June 5, 2014 at 11:38 AM
Does anybody have any recommendations for a one week sleepover soccer camp that is good but fun too. I have only really heard of Red Bulls Camp.
- June 5, 2014 at 11:54 AM
Worry about the program that your daughter is currently in. If you are in PDA, worry about PDA. If you are in NJX, worry about NJX. If people decide to be a part of a program, they have been sold on the program. Stop your bitching on things that arent effecting you.
- June 5, 2014 at 12:19 PM
Hey Lurker,
That fiery crying defender has already forgotten about her coach. She is 11. Instagram and her friends have now taken over. Once she starts with her new team, they will realize that maybe it wasnt as special as they thought.
- June 5, 2014 at 12:22 PM
I guess 11:09s sally was cut from galaxy and has an axe to grind about development instead of admitting that maybe sally wasn't as good as mom and dad thought. I bet sally is the star of her current team too, making mom and dad so proud.
- June 5, 2014 at 1:06 PM
@ 12:19 - "affecting"
- June 5, 2014 at 1:08 PM
Do you really think the Galaxy care about points.
Good one! They are preparing for the national stage.
Who cares about points.
Keep wasting your time obsessing over them.
They could care less what other clubs do.
Soccer is competition. Every great team brings in talent. That's what keeps players sharp. If your kid
Does not want to compete. That's why they have REC.
If a former Pro is brining his kid to PDA.
That' says it all.
Move on.

5:35 although not near the experience, World Class has two who have played on the USWNT as
- June 5, 2014 at 9:47 PM
Is anyone with IGFA? I saw that the club trains their players 2 hrs/day for 4 days each week. I was wondering how that is working out for the kids. To me 4 days a week at this age seems excessive but maybe my thinking is outdated?
- June 6, 2014 at 12:40 PM
Not with IGFA but it was explained to me this way - practice three days a week, with a fourth day possible for specific skills. Fourth day was not every week. Practice is continuous 50 weeks a year. I did not find out the penalty for absences.
- June 6, 2014 at 2:08 PM
The 8 hours would be fine if they didn't play many games. At U12 burnout needs to be guarded against. Most teams do a worse thing and play far too many games. Not including 3/3, 5/5, stuff you should not play more than 35-40 games a year IMO.
- June 6, 2014 at 5:03 PM
Anyone know of any impact or core players moving teams? Seems like not much movement at this age group going into u12 except for the Jackson team folding.
Rush and Galaxy will probably be the strongest in NJ next year.
- June 9, 2014 at 4:20 PM
Who is IGFA? Where do they play?
Do they have any other solid teams?

Rider Cup schedules posted
- June 11, 2014 at 11:17 AM
Looks as if there are alot more 8v8 teams playing Rider Cup vs. 11v11. Will this continue going into the Fall?
- June 11, 2014 at 11:49 AM
doubtful, look at the U12 bracket.
- June 11, 2014 at 12:57 PM
I understand the Non-NJ teams playing 8v8 but if the majority of the top or mid level teams in NJ are playing or have been playing 11v11 why not play them during the summer months to gauge if an 8v8 team should move into a 11v11 format come fall. Are these 8v8 academy style teams like (FC Copa, SDFC, Rage FC,SJEB) just chasing points and wins? Thoughts?
The regular smaller town travel clubs I understand staying 8v8 they are still in development moad. Plus I see some strong town travel teams at 11v11 assuming the coaches know it's better play.
- June 11, 2014 at 2:27 PM
@227 some of those teams look like summer teams only. Don't know why you would go 8v8 otherwise if you played 11v11 all year.
- June 11, 2014 at 9:14 PM
@9:14 True looks like summer teams, going back @2:27 your on the dot, why would a full time 8v8 team stay and play 8v8 in the summer. Chasing points or wins is not development. Pick up a few guess players and play 11v11.
- June 12, 2014 at 11:37 AM
2:27 are you for real? It's not just the "smaller town travel teams" that need to develop. ALL players are developing at 11 years old, and need the ball touches. Only NJ goes 11v11 at U12, and it's for THE MONEY!!
Within a few years at most, NJ will conform to. Rest of World and of what is best for the kids.
And if you don't believe NJ parents are getting hosed, ask you rival team parents from south Jersey or any other state how much they are paying for ECNL tuition or ODP. NJ pays 3x more for the same services.
- June 12, 2014 at 12:16 PM
@1216. All players need to develop but at this age. However, alot of these players have all been playing 11v11 already. Why switch to 8v8 - unless you want got soccer points because you are playing new teams or club is looking for more fees.
The younger teams will stay 8v8 for a while, that makes sense. They are new. But an 11v11 team going small sided for one year is suspect.
- June 12, 2014 at 3:02 PM
@12:16 I posted the 2:27pm yesterday and I'm actually from the North and my child plays 11v11. To my understanding there is no ECNL teams in the South they are only up North PDA & MatchFit.
So to be serious what is true development 8v8 no competition a few players dominate the game or 11v11 with competition to play as a team.
- June 12, 2014 at 4:01 PM
Anyone with common sense understands that small sided 8v8 is far better for development. More touches, smaller areas. My guess it that the few quality teams who stay small sided this year at U12s will do very well at U13. They will find competition out of state. Whether its the NY NPL or EDP. Or they will play teams within their Club.
- June 12, 2014 at 6:23 PM
Teams play 8v8 in the summer for two simple reasons, you are always missing players and it's hot as hell.
- June 12, 2014 at 8:51 PM
Missing players and being hot is not a reason for teams with 15+ rostered to play 8v8. You bring guess players up from B level teams or outside sources. These are excuses to me.
- June 13, 2014 at 9:45 AM
4:01 who says no competition? Honestly, the perspective of the parents on this blog is so small as to be laughable. Do you not understand the rest of the country and the world play small sided? There were more 8v8 brackets at Jeff cup for 12-year-olds than full sided.
- June 13, 2014 at 11:26 AM
the 11 year old that plays 8v8 has no problem transitioning to 11v11. take an 11 year old that played 11v11 and put her back on 8v8 and they have lots of trouble.
Much easier to play on the big field. your first touch can be sloppy,lots of room to move around and more time before your preasured.
- June 13, 2014 at 2:41 PM
I don't think there is disagreement that playing 8v8 longer is good. The question is for this age why bother. They already moved past it.
- June 13, 2014 at 6:47 PM
This age got caught a year behind. 95% of the teams in the state at U11 will be 8v8 next year. Not sure why PDA is going to stay 11v11. Poor choice, by a fine club IMO.
- June 14, 2014 at 12:02 PM
I don't think this age group got caught up with the transition period of staying 8v8 at u11/u12. Its the power house clubs like PDA that have established developed players on there teams that are ready for 11v11. Its up to all the other clubs to not chase and follow them.
- June 16, 2014 at 9:00 AM
9am-"established developed players on there teams ready for 11v11" Really? Did you really just infer that clubs like PDA have developed U11 players that have developed so much that they can no longer develop by playing 8v8 format so have to play 11v11 to further develop? You are absolutely clueless. Go read a book about youth soccer anywhere else in the developed soccer world and then come back to where logical conversation can take place.
- June 16, 2014 at 8:26 PM
In the world? What do they know about girls youth soccer? They don't even believe in it. PDA is the number one girls club is the us, maybe they can write their own book now.
- June 16, 2014 at 8:44 PM
8:26 - Galaxy has a lot of talented girls and seem to be fine at 11v11. They are going in a different direction that everyone else other than MF and we're not going to see them much in the future. Why not tell us about your team instead.
- June 16, 2014 at 8:51 PM
The point being made is that no player on earth is "too developed" that playing 8v8 is destructive to their current progression. Just because you think PDA is the best club in the country it doesn't mean a thing. If they played clubs from outside of the US they would get whacked. My older daughter played at Disney a few years ago and played a team from Japan. My daughters team were ranked top 5 in the country and we weren't even close to this team. It's a big world out there and just because PDA choose to play 11v11 at U10 and U11 it doesn't mean they are right. They are wrong. Plain and simple. They should be setting a better example.
- June 16, 2014 at 11:20 PM
Setting an example? Again, what is wrong with you people???? Here's a thought....if you believe your daughter should be playing 8v8 go to a team that does. The rest of us are fine... Trust me!

Keep drinking that PDA Kool Aid.
- June 17, 2014 at 8:15 AM
I did choose to have my daughter play on a team that plays 8v8. What's the rush to go full sided, the girls have the rest of their lives to play 11 a side
- June 17, 2014 at 8:29 AM
I think it's more on the parents agenda trying to get their child on a PDA or MatchFit 11v11 team early. Like many say it's harder to get on these teams later.
PDA teams didn't have much turnover maybe 2/3 girls between 3 of their 11v11 teams. So it shows that parents that get in early get the opportunites to stay on the teams vs. trying out year after year to make it.
As it goes 8v8 vs 11v11 conversation can vary depending on location, PA has done 8v8 for a very long time but their teams are still do not match up NJ's top level teams at the older stages. So it proves that going 11v11 does not hurt a team that is full of talent.
- June 17, 2014 at 9:37 AM
FYI to PDA north teams. You have a Lyons dad on u10 making some statements against galaxy and crew. Claims to be a u11 crew dad, nobody is buying it.
- June 17, 2014 at 10:15 AM
PDA has a lot of missteps and miscues. Look at ESFL and JAGS? Lol. And now they will not "revert" back to small sided because if the huge revenue loss. PDA charges $2500 per player minimum for full sided vs $1300 small sided . You do the math. Someone has to fund the boys DA program.
- June 17, 2014 at 11:18 AM
Heard PDA will be treating and funding the girls ECNL teams the same way the Boys DA program does? IS this true?
Makes sense for the boys DA program becuase if they PDA doesn't they will lose there players to the NY Red Bulls academy.

The problem with 8v8 in America (as opposed to the magical wonderful world of small-sided in Europe which people wish could be re-created) is that it is not just played for training and development purposes, but is still coupled with league and tournament competitions. And the resulting "need" to WIN those games tends to undermine the value of the format.
IF the focus of 8v8 remained increased touches through a short-controlled passing game, then absolutely it would be beneficial for all teams and players. But I've watched plenty of 8v8 games at tournaments, and most of the time, the 11s and 12s rely on the fact that their keeper and backs can loft the ball nearly the entire length of the small-sided field. They don't do it because they should, but they do it because they can, and is often effective in getting the win. It is also easier for teams to rely on their 2-3 stars on the smaller field, who often are given the freedom to go anywhere on the field, rather then learn to rely on their teammates. Until those elements are taken away (i.e. remove the over-emphasis on playing for results, points, etc.), then much of the benefits of the 8v8 format are wasted.
- June 17, 2014 at 11:47 AM
11:47 yes that is why qualified trainers are key. Most of the clubs should be building for the future, not for the win. The teams that have been learning the beautiful passing game are not going to abandon that just because they can sudden kick the ball 50 yards into the goal.
- June 17, 2014 at 12:02 PM
Yes, but the "quality" of the trainer is only one element. In order for that quality trainer to be able to stay on point, the Club has to remove the value of the wins, and how many Clubs are willing to do that when winning increases their marketability, ego and profit? And the parents have to stop putting so much pressure (and side-line coaching) for the win.
"Academies" should actually train in a true Academy style, where the focus is primarily training, and the games are completely in-house, or closed-door (i.e. no parents, no trophies, no standings, results irrelevant). And no, this is not "no trophies so everyone feels special" - this is "no trophies so the players can focus on development". Then turn them loose at 13 to play 11v11 against the world.
Will never happen though. Parents (and kids) in America want their training AND their competition. They want to be entertained for their money, and enjoy the pleasures of their kids' battling for a victory, as opposed to simply spending it on their kids education in the sport.
And that's not necessarily wrong. It does undermine the opportunity to get our players trained to the highest levels, but not everyone is in it for that - there is also value to simply playing for the enjoyment of it in the present, without worrying about college scholarships, or the future of the national team, etc.
- June 17, 2014 at 12:22 PM
you are on target. I think the problem is most academies sell the concept of "development" then go for the win. Its a matter of sticking to the philosophy you sell.
That is where most of the parent's ire comes from in their blog posts. Most of American society reacts the same way- we don't like a sell out to pressure, but we love to say we are on top. That is why, I only worry about my own.
- June 17, 2014 at 2:12 PM
EE - Your comments are on the dot. Problem is it's not reality. With Gotsoccer rankings, online blogs, high end leagues like ECNL the landscape has escape the true meaning of development and has moved to "my kid is better then these town travel players, I need to move at a pay to play academy where my child can become part of one of the top 25 teams in the state"
To many things impacted the parents mindset to what true development is and it will never change unless MLS teams start making an impact on the community like European teams do.
- June 17, 2014 at 2:54 PM
You are forgetting about the kids. They want to win and get some type of medal or trophy.
How do you keep the morale up of a 12 year old whose team has lost nearly all league and tournament games all year?
Is there an 8v8 team who doesn't go to a lot of tournaments and focuses on development as you say? I would like to check out these clubs.
- June 17, 2014 at 4:36 PM
It's easy to see who hasn't played many "got soccer ranked games" but are competitive teams. I got these stats from got soccer, clubs are listed by their ranking in the state. Not totally accurate but from what i know the following clubs are playing small sided next year again. RAGE, SDFC maybe? STA, NJ Crush, NJSA will be playing small sided in NY NPL. Hope this is useful!
1, SJEB-41 games
2, RAGE-45 games
3, NJ Rush-33 games
4, PDA Galaxy-11 games
5, PDA Nova-38 games
6, NJX-38 games
7, SDFC-33 games
8, FC Maximus-25 games
9, TSF-36 games
10, Jackson-34 games
11, STA-19 games
12, Cherry Hill-34 games
13, IGFA-21 games
14, Moorestown-16 games
15, Monmouth-16 games
- June 17, 2014 at 4:45 PM
Enough with the 8v8 vs. 11v11. Every team or club has there own preference on developing players. It's up to the parents to research and decide what club best fits them.
Development occurs mostly at 2 or 3practices during the week at this age. Games on the weekends are for competition doesn't matter 8v8 or 11v11.
If your daughter is getting the right training during the 3-4 hours a week that's where true development happens so stop the discussion about what's better for a child to play 20-30 minutes at 8v8 or 11v11 on the weekends.
How many exams are taking within a school year 3/4 max but a child goes to school 9 months of the year to learn.
- June 17, 2014 at 4:51 PM
@4:45 Thanks for putting that together I can see you have plenty of time. So based on your stats 3 of the Top 15 teams are 8v8. Which points to many on why would those 8v8 teams stay 8v8 come fall when 80% of the teams are 11v11.
They will need to travel out of state going forward to find competition and if they stay 8v8 in NJ they are just beating up lessor teams. So winning an 8v8 game by 5+ goal margins is not development to many.
- June 17, 2014 at 5:12 PM
The ones playing in the NY NPL will be playing teams from NY and CT.
- June 17, 2014 at 5:22 PM
Galaxy is #4 in the state playing 11v11 with 11 GS games? What clubs nut job parent wants them to "set the bar" for everyone else by doing 8v8?
- June 17, 2014 at 6:50 PM
8v8 is nice and makes, I can go either way. I enjoy watching the 11v11 now and the girls are getting to big for some of the small sided fields.
The reason 90 percent of the teams listed above play 8v8 is because they can't get enough qaulity girls to play and or pay for the 11v11. I know this for a fact, on one of the teams mentioned and believe me our club would welcome 11v11. All our older teams started at u11.
- June 17, 2014 at 8:24 PM
EE... I could not agree more with your insite. You hit it right on the head... Nothing wrong with 8v8 but once again, us Americans are missing the point!
- June 17, 2014 at 10:33 PM
-8:24 As you mentioned you can't get enough quality girls to play and pay for 11v11, is the perfect reason to stay 8v8 and help the the girls that need development.
The only problem is will those quality girls stick around, parents may feel they are not getting competitively stronger not playing stronger teams. They may just end up leaving after this year.
For the teams staying 8v8 with enough quality players, I do understand how it makes any sense.
- June 18, 2014 at 10:07 AM
The PDA philosophy is to be the best by U11 (full sided), regardless how they accomplish that. But in what world other than at that club, is being the best by 11 years old the mission? Any parent reading this blog with older children who have played the sport will understand how ridiculous this is. And no, it's not jealousy or sarcasm or any other negative emotion - it's wisdom after having a) watched the emotional and physical toll "being the best by age 11" takes on these young children, and b) it's the realization that being the best at 11, 12,13 or 14 years is completely meaningless. There should be no nationals or championship titles before high school. That's the age when the children have developed and real coaches and parents can assess whether a child is suited for this sport at a high level or not. Being the "champion" or "#4 U11 team in the country" has zero bearing on whether you are a top player by high school.
- June 19, 2014 at 8:05 AM
Sorry Part 2 of my email. Some of the things that go on at that club which create the environment of "being the best at all costs" are:
1. Constant recruiting by the coach during the year, which is a direct message to the families that the current players aren't good enough;
2. Every player being ranked each year by February and told whether they need to step up their game or risk being cut (this year that applied to approx 50% of the team).
3. A majority of the parents sending their children to additional soccer training and speed and agility classes at least 2-3 times per week, in an effort to "keep up".
I overheard a parent discussing her child's winter offseason sports schedule this year. This is the offseason, mind you. The child was: a) playing a winter sport involving 2 practices a week and 1 maybe 2 gsmes in weekend; but also b) taking private soccer training twice a week which also threw in a speed and agility session once a week; and c) PDA training twice a week which included 45 minutes of speed and agility once a week; plus c) private speed and agility training twice a week.
This sounds like the schedule of a college athlete, no? Unbelievably, this was the offseason training regime of an 11 year old girl.
- June 19, 2014 at 8:24 AM
Part 3 and final part of my email: having older children entering high school and also leaving college, I can at least relay to the group that the best strategy for long term development and playing in college is the rule of reasonableness. Excess with anything in life is bad! Please at least take a moment to assess your schedules and think. Because there will be many girls at PDA by high school who quit soccer and move on in life because their passion for the game is long gone. It's no longer fun- the dream somehow along the way became the parents dream and not the child's. I have seen PDA star forwards who hung up their club cleats by age 15 and never stepped foot on a playing girls again, and then by college took off as far as they could from their parents. I have also seen a PDA family move their child to a different team every year, because their child got cut at a young age and they were always trying to find a team to showcase their child. Also witnessed plenty of girls give up club soccer by age 14 to go play lacrosse where the pressure is much less intense (aka more fun!).
Sorry for the long post; I am done. Just wanted to share what I have seen over the past 12 years in girls soccer, to help families of young children understand thst the journey is a long one, not a race to the top by this age.
- June 19, 2014 at 8:34 AM
How are girls this age being trained for speed and agility? My towns high school trainer refuses to train any child younger than 14. Serious speed and agility involves weight training and body resistance training, which is not good for kids who have not finished puberty.
- June 19, 2014 at 8:51 AM
Private trainers are everywhere and parents from many clubs use them, not just PDA ones. I don't see the point of overworking at this age but some parents just can't let their kid be a kid.
- June 19, 2014 at 1:08 PM
@8:05 am.
Your long winded comment is a far off.
PDA & other top clubs such as Red Bulls philosophy
Is not to play a ton of meaniningless games to get points
Etc... The developement takes place in practice. All
Professional teams around the world spend more time
Practicing & training. Not playing tournaments every weekend. Some times 3 games a day in a tournament is
Stupid and counter productive. Your ranking is not a result of how many games you play. it's about the quality of your opponent. If you are a great team your
Record will prove it.
I would follow what the rest of the world does.
PDA has it right.
- June 19, 2014 at 7:34 PM
Looked at final Got Soccer Rankings. When will they take Jackson off? They fell apart. No more team. Should they even be ranked anymore? Or will they hold their points for a full year? This is why gotsoccer rankings is BS.
- June 20, 2014 at 7:46 AM
Often when over half of a team moves to a new club they take their points with them. Where have most of the Jackson players gone?
- June 20, 2014 at 8:42 AM
Most girls went to PDA Shore, Freehold or stayed in Jackson. 1 went to NJ Rush and NJX
- June 20, 2014 at 9:31 AM
@7:34 Totally agree practices is where the development is acheived. Playing equally or better teams win or lose will make a team as a whole become better.
- June 20, 2014 at 11:03 AM
There are several problems/concerns with Gotsoccer rankings at this age. But even worst is that some teams play to chase points and there was a coach in particular that would request to play with lower competition at tournaments to fuel - points, rankings, and own coaches/parents egos. This is what happens when teams can't keep up with the competition, they start cheating.
Best thing that Jackson families did was to move on so girls could get better training as you could see the gap closing in that other other teams were getting better. Kick and run just takes a team so far, until other teams start catching up with better skills, development, and overall training.
- June 22, 2014 at 12:14 PM
Town team playing well takes most of its players to a CLUB program (PDA Shore)
Not a new development - happens all the time. And thus no knock on Jackson.
- June 23, 2014 at 9:29 AM
I heard the Final between SJEB vs. Cherry Hill this past weekend was mobbed with people watching game.
Is it true both teams picked up new players? Looking forward to some very high level EDP games come fall. Will PDA Galaxy be joining the same league SJEB, RUSH, NJX and PDA South?
- June 23, 2014 at 5:37 PM
@9:28 From what it has been posted here, most players did NOT go to "CLUB programs." I would not categorize a kick and run team to be a team playing well, town or otherwise.
I do agree that this is not a new development whereby players leave for club programs. However, this solely happens to teams that are often coached by persons with big egos and no soccer experience, and who are unable to teach anything other than the basic kick and run tactics.
I also heard that SJEB picked up new players. Can't wait to see all the talent at the upcoming season of EDP.
- June 23, 2014 at 6:13 PM

- June 23, 2014 at 6:13 PM
NJ Rush - picked up 1 player from Jackson
PDA Nova - in process of picking multiple players from turnover.
PDA Galaxy - no new players
Cherry Hill - 2/3 new players
SJEB - 3 new players 2 from PDA Nova and 1 from a local town team.
PDA Shore - majority of Jackson players
NJX - Matchfit transition probably no player movement.
Did I miss anything. Should be an interesting fall season these top teams can go either way in league play.
- June 23, 2014 at 8:40 PM
Majority of the players in PDA Shore are from Toms River. Only four (4)players are from Jackson.

- June 24, 2014 at 10:44 AM
I was there for this great game. Talked to a parent from the team they picked up a new goalie and the west goalie was there also. 2 goalies on roster. 2 PDA Nova girls came over, 1 very strong passing mid. Looked like the game should of been in a stadium with the amount of people watching it.
- June 24, 2014 at 10:47 AM
"Town player" is one of the 2 Goales. Rage player was a guess player.
- June 24, 2014 at 12:55 PM
Everyone stops and looks at an accident on the side of the road too. They were probably looking for a blood bath as Cherry Hill is the dirtiest team in the league. Their parents are animals on the sideline too!!
- June 24, 2014 at 2:23 PM
At"2:23" are you seriously coming on this blog to call a team dirty and parents animals please leave and worry about your own unhappiness with your daughter's team.
The game was great to watch plenty of good soccer between 2 competitive teams with new additions. We just recently scrimmaged SJEB a few weeks ago so there was no bad blood just good back and forth soccer with a great come behind ending. With new additions on each team both teams will continue to compete in games like that all year long.
- June 24, 2014 at 3:02 PM
It is not the kids fault because they have been conditioned to foul when they cant get the ball. It is the parents and the coaches that have made them that way. They are an abomination to the sport. They have not bitten anyone like Suarez, but now they coaches have the idea, watch out next season.
- June 24, 2014 at 4:47 PM
The CH parents yell to their daughters to take down their opponents during games. Zero class.
- June 24, 2014 at 5:04 PM
cherry hill has a long tradition of being dirty.
- June 24, 2014 at 6:38 PM
I cannot believe people would post things like "Zero Class", "Dirty players" about any team. It's not like a biting incident occurred. Teams play different syles and when it comes to competition play every girl is fighting for the ball. If ref's and coaches are not calling it then they are just simply letting them play.
You parents just need to mind your own business and worry about getting your team better.
- June 25, 2014 at 12:41 PM
to 12:41 pm:
"Teams play different styles and when it comes to competition play every girl is fighting for the ball."
When a player chasing the ball carrier from behind puts two hands on her back and pushes, that is not a "playing style" or merely "fighting for the ball". And when the girl is laughing about it immediately afterwards with her teammate, as they set up for the freekick awarded the other team, there is no way to deny that the player simply doesn't care about the spirit of the game, or fair play. You might find one or two players like that on any team, or you might find a team with several. The latter shows an obvious disdain by the coach to curb such behavior.
- June 25, 2014 at 1:45 PM

Listen to yourselves. Every team always has a couple parents that don't know how to control themselves. I've been to plenty of CH games over the years. It's a couple of parents just like Voorhees and Medford etc. Stop the CH bashing you sound ridiculous.
Not a CH parent.
- June 26, 2014 at 8:36 AM
Even though the scores don't show it, someone must of gotten their tails whipped by Cherry hill. I frequent this blog and cannot recall the last time I read a post from what I would consider a "real" cherry hill parent. Going as far back as the racial comment months ago - I don't think that group even knows this blog exists.
Let's layoff the hatred parents and talk soccer.

If there is alot of "dirty" play, I place the blame on the refs. They have a job to keep it under control. A push fro the back is straight red card. Sounds like you need more/better refs at these games
- July 1, 2014 at 12:34 PM
The refs should be the last defense against dirty play. It should start with the parents and then the coaches/trainers. Someone is teaching these kids to play dirty and its not the refs.
- July 1, 2014 at 3:31 PM
Dirty play should not be tolerated, thus the reason the rise of concussion awareness.
If Ref's do not control a game and continue to let it happen no matter how much girls are pressured to act playing in that manner by the parents or coaches then it's up to the Ref to speak up and do something about it.
This Blog needs video upload ability to show proof of some if these actions.

- July 7, 2014 at 2:05 PM
looks like a good 11v11 bracket, but not so much at 8v8.
The Ft Dix fields will make it tough to predict. I think the fields at Tuckahoe are a much better venue.
- July 7, 2014 at 2:46 PM
When does Gotsoccer and this blog transfer over from U11 to U12? Does anyone know.
- July 10, 2014 at 3:38 PM
8/1 although Gotsoccer has already renamed some teams and reassigned points.
- July 10, 2014 at 7:04 PM
Everybody better check the CJIT website because the schedules all got changed TODAY at the last minute. Who's running this event, Mickey Mouse?? How do you possibly move games around at the last minute after issuing a schedule weeks ago. Newsflash the parents of these girls have alot going on and have other children and it takes a lot of precision and pre-scheduling on the families part to get everyone where they have to go. Changing everything at the last minute is an amateur move and the MSSL guy needs to go.

congrats to the SJEB clearly the best team in the CJIT,and probably RUSH was truly 2nd. When the brackets were re-done it was a very poor job any of the teams in bracket 2 where better than all of the teams in bracket 1. No idea why the changed last minute.
- July 13, 2014 at 9:39 PM
sjeb parents, always talking up their team. they were the best at the CJIT, besides rush, no one else was there. you guys can brag when you win a state cup.
- July 14, 2014 at 12:15 PM
Does it really matter at u11 what direction the brackets were put. Ultimately at least 3 quality games were played by each team in both brackets rather than 1 team running away with a lopsided bracket into the finals.
- July 14, 2014 at 1:01 PM
Board has been quiet? Anyone opinions about the upcoming Fall, which team will be the biggest surprise.
- July 16, 2014 at 5:33 PM

Looking forward to another season of excuses.
- July 21, 2014 at 12:00 PM
Pipe down coach. Just because your team left you because they wanted more doesnt mean you have to come on here and spout garbage.
See you on the fields. oops sorry.
- July 21, 2014 at 1:36 PM
That's because some parents on NJX don't stop complaining......one day they will wake up and realize nobody wants to hear that your daughter should be playing more... I'm not even a parent and I hear about it... Coach needs to step up and shut those few parents down.they wouldn't last 10 min. on an academy team... Should be interesting to see what girls are really committed to go to Matchfit. Can't wait to read about i!
- July 22, 2014 at 9:01 AM
Spirit Tournament should be interesting? Many top teams going moving into U12 will be on show. Looks like more 8v8 teams vs. 11v11?
- July 22, 2014 at 3:06 PM
Not really, there are a lot of Pa town teams playing 8v8. The 11v11 teams seem to be the harder competition. Where are the academy teams playing? I only see IGFA and Wildcats there
- July 22, 2014 at 6:51 PM
GFA we are ready and excited to play 11 vs.11 our team is solid and girls are ready !
- July 23, 2014 at 5:01 PM
GFA glad your excited and nice to see you guys go 11v11. Is anyone staying 8v8?
- July 24, 2014 at 9:54 AM
I just looked over the gotsoccer ranking to see who might stay 8v8 and the top teams that might are:
Rage Renegades
SDFC Rage
FC Maximus
Almost everyone else going 11v11 as far as I know.
What happened to PDA South Nova? They are not even on gotsoccer anymore.
- July 24, 2014 at 12:14 PM
weird, Nova now listed as U12.
- July 24, 2014 at 1:36 PM
Good for those 3 teams staying 8v8.
Teams going 11v11 it will be the most interesting season ever.
Joe T., Joe T., Joe T. where have you been. If you are out there can you shed some light on the PDA South being in U12 going to U13 age group.
- July 24, 2014 at 1:52 PM

Where did you find the brackets for next season?
- July 25, 2014 at 4:43 PM
EDP posted a link on facebook. Interesting to see NJX and Matchfit didn't they merge?
- July 25, 2014 at 5:05 PM
ODP? Whats the purpose at this age? What does it give your player, that Academy or ECNL training doesn't?
- July 25, 2014 at 11:08 PM
ODP / TIP all extra training and exposure as well as Academy or ECNL. Just different avernues for those that cannot afford academy costs but want to continue to paly at higher levels.

Can someone explain the Rutgers/PDA scandal to me ?
- July 30, 2014 at 1:40 PM
Here we go, the troller has now moved to another blog to talk $hit and ruin another age group.
Not a PDA fan either, but don't need people like you ruining the blog.
This guy will consume the blog soon and ask and respond to himself for days. He has been on u12 blog and now needs to move on.
Get a life, your daughter has no skill and was cut.
- July 30, 2014 at 2:31 PM
2:31 I agree who cares about a Rutgers/PDA on this blog they are u11 going to be u12 they are years away from playing at a collegiately.
1:40 go and hit up another blog.
- July 30, 2014 at 4:56 PM
Lol. I'm 1:40 and it was a legitimate question . I haven't posted anything else anywhere. My daughter played for PDA and we know players and parents there. I try and stay out of your stupid gossip but was interested when another parent told me to read the blog. I try not to talk soccer with the parents that my daughter used to play with. So I'm kind of out of the PDA loop. FYI She wasn't cut. Just a moral decision. Have fun living vicariously through your child. I hope they get that scholarship that your looking for. I started a 529 plan when she was born. I'm good !
- July 30, 2014 at 11:04 PM
when does this blog switch over to be U12G?

PDA Galaxy , Nova, Holmdel, , and SJEB in the Stars of Mass tourney in Bpston Labor Day. Wow ! Should be interesting to see how they make out.
- August 8, 2014 at 7:25 AM
Yes Stars of Mass tourney should be a good one. Don't forget the 8v8 bracket with Rage FC and NJ Crush. Great representation from NJ teams.
- August 8, 2014 at 12:17 PM
PDA Galaxy is at 'Eclipse Select Challenge Cup, IL'. Should see how they perform well there.
- August 8, 2014 at 5:35 PM
PDA Galaxy won morning game 6-0...nice to see a NJ team do well
- August 8, 2014 at 8:34 PM
Galaxy won the second game as well, 4-0. They play Waza FC tomorrow afternoon for the bracket winner (Waza also clobbered the other two teams in the bracket).
- August 8, 2014 at 11:49 PM
Galaxy lost to Waza.
- August 9, 2014 at 7:30 PM
They lost 1 0. Made semi final like every other PDA team.
This is nice showing for NJ teams.
- August 10, 2014 at 8:03 AM
Agree 8:03. PDA has a plan for their top players and it's not racking up points at small potato tournaments. All
3 entered PDA teams made semis and 1 is going onto finals. The consistency across the age brackets is impressive. Cincinnati is top dog in the U12-U14 brackets as all teams made finals.
Not a PDA parent. But happy to see a NJ club hold their own against non-traditional competition.
- August 10, 2014 at 12:35 PM
PDA shut out again, didn't place
- August 10, 2014 at 7:48 PM
Made the semi finals against the best in country, not bad.
What team are you with and where didn't you play this weekend tough guy? Try and be honest.

9:02 - Since you seem to know soccer, which OP team in this age bracket is the top team: Black, Green, or Red?
I'll give you enough time to run over to GotSoccer so you can "guess" your answer.
- August 10, 2014 at 9:19 PM
Definitely red, have seen them play on several occasions. That was 8v8 though, I believe they have gone 11v11.
I also know pipeline and holmdel played the two teams that beat galaxy, and while these scores were closer it shows I believe that the current crop at this age in the nj and midatlantic region is not at the top.
- August 10, 2014 at 10:21 PM
Who cares whose at the top at this age.
- August 11, 2014 at 8:42 AM
8:42 Agree who cares, they are u12. This was a pre-season tourney also so measurement get's thrown out the door. Teams develop and end up being very different come mid fall.
- August 11, 2014 at 9:37 AM
anyone know why copa changed from 11v11 to 8v8 and 2 teams? looks back a$$ward.
- August 11, 2014 at 12:36 PM
Nobody threw it out when pipeline and holmdel got best up at Jeff cup. Bottom line is at this particular age group nj is a little thin
- August 11, 2014 at 9:12 PM
9:12... Couldn't agree more. These same parents cheering on PDA success were the same throwing darts at NJX for the Rider cup. Why do we play the game? To win and see who is the best. It is our culture. Don't pretend to be above it.
- August 12, 2014 at 6:37 AM
Pipeline and Holmdel were not at the Eclipse tournament.
If they were they would have been mentioned.
Sounds like NJX parents taking here since they are comparing Jeff Cup to Eclipse tournament.
- August 12, 2014 at 11:22 AM
We will see in a couple weeks becuase NJX and Pipeline are bracketed in the Spirit Tourney vs. Cincy Premier(U12 Eclipse Champions).
If Cincy rolls through them it just shows how strong competition is outside of the region.
Top 3 U12 teams in Spirit United:
Cincy Premier (OS)
OP Fire Red (ON)
- August 12, 2014 at 11:33 AM
Let's also consider the possibility that Cincinnati is simply head and shoulders above the U12 field nationally - not just here in the Mid-Atlantic area.
Based on their results it seems very few teams can play with them.
- August 12, 2014 at 11:57 AM
OP Black and Green are OS teams. Red should have gone of they are the best of the OP tree.
- August 12, 2014 at 12:05 PM
Agree thus the reason GS points do not mean anything until U14. There will be point chasers playing tourney's every month and true premier teams that choose to play 5-6 top level tournaments throughout the year.
- August 12, 2014 at 12:09 PM
The oh team is awesome, but at end of day it's all about one player up top. She is heads and shoulders above the rest of the girls, literally. She looks like a u16 player.
- August 12, 2014 at 12:28 PM
Yeah I heard that about the OH Red player, but they are playing 11v11. Bigger field less opportunites for 1 player to dominate.
- August 12, 2014 at 12:30 PM
There were some real beat downs against nj teams at jeff cup and waza won the tourney. The Cincy and strong Cali teams were there.
At eclipse waza was beat by top hat 1 0 in semi and then top hat got real beat down by the Cincy team in finals.
It's nice to see this kind of competition, and even better watching in person rather than checking web results. 3 goals given up in 4 games isn't a beat down and look what happened to waza who won Jeff cup.
- August 12, 2014 at 1:49 PM
There are few 8v8 teams that are strong as well.
- August 12, 2014 at 1:50 PM
It's impressive then that PDA Galaxy chose to go out to Chicago to play. Maybe some of the Jeff Cup teams should consider doing the same instead of going to Jeff Cup. Go out and play the competition instead of letting it come to you.
- August 12, 2014 at 1:59 PM
It's not just PDA Galaxy who choose to go out. The whole PDA girls side takes their teams to Eclipse year after year. Personally traveling that far for competition at young ages seems absurd. It's not like Galaxy are heads and shoulders above everyone else here in NJ, because they aren't. I wouldn't even put them 1st. They have lost to NJ teams in the past year. If they were beating everyone by 5-6 goals then go and travel. But they aren't. So doesn't seem to be worth the $$ at this age.
- August 12, 2014 at 2:07 PM
2:07 Agree about traveling that far for games(Chicago). It's ridiculous PDA would take U12/U13 teams that far and leaving other PDA teams in the same age group behind. Just shows that they are already segmenting out the other PDA teams in the state and showing who their "A" team will be.
Teams at this age should not be traveling beyond the area if they cannot beat the area teams on a continuous basis.
- August 12, 2014 at 2:17 PM
i am going to disagree. I see PDA is doing this to get their girls used to playing teams from across the U.S. They are not going to continue playing NJ/local area teams. Their eyes are on development and eventually getting these girls into the college ranks should the girls want it. Sure the vision costs money and it may not pan out but who knows unless you try. If anyone at PDA doesn't share this vision their kid can always move to a different club.
As far as I know, PDA younger female teams don't travel outside of NJ for tournaments. But wow. When they decide to travel, they go big. Props to them.
FC Stars is a big tournament. See a lot of ECNL clubs in that age bracket. 3 from PDA and 2 from MF. Also some non-ECNL NJ teams going.
Following your thinking, why are SJEB, TSF, STA, Rage, and Crush going?
- August 12, 2014 at 4:05 PM
So PDA eyes are on development for the 1 U12 team(Galazy)to go to Chicago but not give the other 3 PDA U12 teams(Crew, Nova, New Shore)the opportunity.
How can you agree to that.
- August 12, 2014 at 4:16 PM
2:17 - "Teams at this age should not be traveling beyond the area if they cannot beat the area teams on a continuous basis."
Another NJ parent focused on W/L. You're making the Garden State proud.
- August 12, 2014 at 4:22 PM
I think each PDA team decides their own tournament schedule.
- August 12, 2014 at 4:23 PM
Kids/Parents will travel wherever for the experience not just for development.
Baseball has been doing this for years "Little League World Series" draws teams from out of the country.
Ultimately it's for the girls experience. 99% of girls/parents at this age wouldn't pass up opportunites to play in other areas of the U.S. If there teams were capable of doing it.
- August 12, 2014 at 5:13 PM
Nova is a good team and would be able to compete in high level tournaments, but no way is Crew ready and Shore is a new team and certainly not ready for that.
- August 13, 2014 at 7:50 AM
7:50 sorry to burst your bubble but Nova much like any of the NJ teams would of struggled at top bracket at Eclipse, Jeff Cup, FC Stars Cup.
If you look at the FC Stars Cup bracket it already gives you a sense. PDA Galaxy A team, PDA Nova B team, PDA Crew C team. The direction looks as if they will eventually pull from all PDA teams + Shore to form a ECNL team in 2 years. This will help identify their ECNL in 2 years.
- August 13, 2014 at 10:15 AM
Anyone who knocks any club for traveling & giving
Players new experiences & new competition.
Does not know what they are talking about.
PDA older teams compete for national championships year after year.
I think we will continue follow in the same foot steps,
- August 14, 2014 at 5:42 PM
Where will the new shore team play in?
- August 17, 2014 at 4:37 PM
PDA Shore in EDP. Central 2nd Division.
- August 19, 2014 at 7:35 AM
Any predictions for Spirit this weekend?
- August 19, 2014 at 11:23 AM
PDA oldest teams compete for ecnl championships because a) until last year they were the only game in town; and b) the ecnl is a closed system like a private golf club- members only allowed. I assure you their are teams right here in Region 1 who beat PDA on a regular basis but who are not in the ECNL.
In the upcoming years, with more competition and PDA no longer having a monopoly, we will see more parity in girls soccer.
Also don't believe the PDA hype about how great their second, third, fourth and fifth teams are. They play in a league only comprised of other ecnl second, third, fourth teams etc. NONE of these teams are competitive against good NPL teams and are not placed in any top brackets of any major tournament, excluding pda's own tournament. Lol.

Action was immediately taken to try and manoeuvre the vessel to avoid a collision, but it was too late. The iceberg tore a series of narrow holes in the starboard side of the hull.

Rex Features 3 of 19 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL The lifeboats are launched As soon as it was evident the Titanic was sinking, the ship's captain Edward Smith ordered the preparation of the Titanic's lifeboats. The first one was launched at 12.45am in the early hours of 15 April. This was lifeboat No. 7, which rowed away from Titanic with 28 passengers on board - despite a capacity of 65.

This is a letter written by violinist Wallace Hartley, best remembered as the bandleader who, along with his seven fellow musicians, played on as the Titanic sank. For many years it was thought the band were playing the hymn Nearer My God To Thee as the ship actually sank beneath the waves. In fact this was one of a number of hymns, songs and dance tunes they performed over the course of the sinking.

But others had to be hoisted up in slings, while some of the children were hoisted in mail sacks. All of the known survivors were aboard by around 9.00am. The last lifeboat to reach the ship was No. 12, with a total of 74 people aboard a boat designed to carry 65. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson 9 of 19 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL Reporting the news Newspapers around the world were quick to make the sinking of the Titanic their lead story.

The funeral of the richest passenger on the voyage, 47-year-old John Jacob Astor IV, took place on 4 May 1912 (pictured).

He had last been seen on the Titanic's starboard bridge wing, smoking a cigarette. Astor was buried in Trinity Church Cemetery in New York City. Several months later his widow, 18-year-old Madeleine Astor, gave birth to his second son, John Jacob Astor VI.

Because life is short...
Mousse sourced prose Copyright © Text moussemymind on Tumblr 2012 & 2013
Life is full of choices. Big ones are easy to spot. But little ones change your life.
Smoothing his tie Edward hoped the little changes would make the difference. He looked through the window glass. Not too many today. He checked himself one more time then pushed through the door.
Three other men sat on the chairs provided. Waiting. Three men and a tramp. Without appearing to, the other men checked Edward out. Competitors.
The door opened and the factory foreman entered. All the men except the tramp stood up.
The foreman looked above their heads. "I need two men today. Today I will choose…" He scanned the group.
Edward stood tall. Hoping.
"You. And you."
The men who were chosen went to the desk to fill out their employment forms. There was a buzz of energy about them. Tonight they would see pay. Tomorrow their prospects would be better because they had experience. Because the foreman knew them.
Edward fought the stab in his chest. What would he bring home to his wife today?
She would kiss him before the question. He longed to have the right answer so he could dip more than his tongue into her secret curves.
When she knew she would say, "We can't have a baby yet. Think of the Wilsons."
The Wilsons lived next door. A year ago Mr. Wilson went to the city looking for work. He never came back. Then Mrs. Wilson took work as a live-in nanny. She left her oldest, then fourteen, in charge. When the recruiter came he lied about his age and enlisted, leaving his twelve year old sister raising four children.
Poverty broke up families.
The chosen left with the foreman.
Edward went to the woman at the desk. "Is anyone else coming today?"
The woman consulted her list. "The professor from DentalGo. And the recruiter."
The professor was new in town. Did some kind of sleep research using X-rays.
A man in a shabby mackintosh came in holding a brown envelope.
The woman at the desk smiled. "Professor."
Edward applied for the job the first day the advertisement went up in the window. So far. Nothing.
"I look for Edward Brown."
"That's me."
The professor inspected him. "You are looking to be working?"
The tramp started laughing. "Still up to your tricks?"
The woman at the desk frowned. "Sir. If you aren't looking for employment I must ask you to leave."
The tramp thrust his face close to Edward. "I used to work for him. I was young and beautiful once."
Edward stepped back from the animal smell. The matted curls escaping the ruined hat. Any beauty had long since disappeared.
The professor waited until the tramp was hustled outside. "Before taking you I am checking."
The professor flashed a smile at Edward's eagerness. "Do you have bicycle?"
Edward started that day. Afterwards he cycled home.
His mother-in-law didn't look up from the potatoes she was peeling. One of the Wilson children crouched under the table. "Joy is in the shop."
Edward went to the front and jangled through the bakery door.
And there she was, smiling at him over the cakes, white apron pinned to her breast. "Oh Eddy, where have you been? Father's missed you all afternoon."
"He'll miss me some more. I've got a job."
She came round the counter to him. She tasted of icing sugar. Edward took her to the fields beyond town. They celebrated under trees springing their first leaves.
The work was easy. Writing addresses from an account book onto little brown packages. Taking the packages to the post office twice a day.
Spring turned into summer. The world was falling apart but Edward was happy. By the end of summer he was saving for a deposit on furnished rooms. The baby Joy wanted so badly was on the way.
By now the professor was using Edward in his experiments.
It started when the professor said, "No subject today. Will you?"
"What do I have to do?"
"I take X-ray. Of you."
Edward hesitated.
"I find new clerk?"
Edward put the lid on his pen and stood up.
The professor led him to a room fitted out like a lounge. "You undress."
"Hospital gown. I wait outside."
The professor stepped out. He left the door ajar.
Edward undressed.
The professor called through the door . "Edward. You have wife?"
Edward tried not to think about Joy while naked.
"Take off wedding ring. No metal for X-ray."
Edward slipped the gold band from his finger and put it in his trouser pocket. He found the hospital gown under the Ottoman.
The procedure became part of his work. X-ray. Label packages. Cycle to post office. Break for lunch. Repeat.
One morning outside the post office Edward saw the constable taking the tramp away.
"Don't forget what I told you boy," the tramp shouted at Edward. "You'll end up like me."
The incident distracted Edward. He was looking back and missed the pot hole in the road. The bicycle went over, spilling packages on the street. Edward picked them up. One had broken its string and unwrapped. Its contents scattered. Edward had never seen what he posted. Not before now. Indecent photos. Of women. Men. Himself. And that youth with the curly hair committing a criminal act on the Ottoman. Could it be?
"Everything alright, Edward?" The constable was close by, holding the giggling tramp.
"Fine." Edward held the photos face down against his thigh. He felt sick. How could he explain that he was innocent? That his involvement was involuntary?
Where could he find another job?
After the constable had gone Edward tied up the package. Took it with the rest of them to the post office. Posted them. Then went home for lunch.
He would have to tell Joy about the job. Sorrow twisted his gut.
Everyone was in the kitchen, including the Wilson children.
Joy rushed to him. "Oh Eddy, have you heard? We're at war." She wrapped her soft arms about his neck. "You aren't going to enlist are you?"
"Of course I am, Joy. I must serve my country."
Joy began to sob.
He was going to war. May never know his child. Little choices step by step. Leading to this big one.

The Cold Steel 42SS Super Edge Fixed Blade Knife is a hard working, sheath knife in the very smallest package available. Weighing only half an ounce, and with a blade lenght of 2 inches the size cannot be beat. This rugged little workhorse can cut through the tough materials that would make a bigger knife choke. The Super Edge Knife's diminutive overall length and feather light Secure-Ex sheath make it a natural for attachment to a key ring, zipper pull, D ring or belt loop. In fact this Cold Steel Knife is so light and comfortable to carry you'll never notice it when it's casually looped around your neck, conveniently laced to your shoe or cunningly pinned inside the crown of your hat.

Scoop.it - Educating Voters and Promoting the Vote
See on huffingtonpost.com
Imagine what the political climate of our country would be if a 269-269 tie occurs — especially if the House chooses the candidate who lost the popular vote to become president. According to Rachel Maddow, we could end up with the Senate choosing VP Joe Biden as VP again….(that's not so bad)….but the House of Representatives could choose Romeny or House Speaker John Boehner as President (Oyeh veh!)!!! How would that work?!!!

Masked gunmen stormed into a northwest Indiana home late Sunday, wounding two brothers and killing a third man, the Post-Tribune is reporting.
One suspect, Mark Cherry, 21, of Lake Station, was also seriously wounded when he and the brothers, Elias Martinez, 24, and Anthony Martinez, 23, struggled for control of a handgun. Cherry was flown to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill. where he was admitted to the intensive care unit, police said.
The series of events that led to the death of Rolando Correa, 22, is not clear, police said. Interviews with witnesses and victims were still ongoing. Correa was found outside 2854 King St., not far from the scene of the home invasion in the Black Oak area of Gary, Gary police records state.
Police were interviewing victims at the different hospitals where they were taken for treatment.
It began about 11:56 p.m., as the intruders knocked on the front door of the Martinez home in the 6200 block of W. 29th Ave. Anthony Martinez went outside to see who was there and was confronted by two gunmen, who forced him back into the house. He was held at gunpoint by one man while another went into another room and found Elias Martinez.
Both brothers were shot, but managed to struggle with Cherry, wounding him with his own weapon, police said.
Correa may have been outside when he was shot. Investigators believe he heard the gunfire and was on his way to assist the brothers when he was wounded. Other family members, including Correa's young daughter, were next door in a yellow house identical to the scene of the home invasion. The homes are owned by the same person, police said.
The intruders left with Cherry and loaded him in a car and drove around the corner, but then fled, leaving Cherry and another man close to the scene.
Police arrested the man who was with Cherry and he was being held for questioning.
Cherry, on probation after pleading guilty to robbery last year, had been released from the Westville Correctional Center.
