That is an extremely good point in most age groups. Not sure in this one. But who knows.
What if those two players return to SRSA 03 that are playing up sometime in the future? This group is cruising without them, so imagine the disparity if they would have stayed?
Then you add other top girls from other teams interested in playing the SRSA system...
I haven't seen a gap this wide in any age group ever. Not saying there hasn't been, but I haven't seen it, and I've seen a lot of soccer.
One of you guys will beat them sooner or later though. It happens.

This is true in the 03 standings right now, but look at where the 00s were last year and the transition into ECNL this year at U14. Feet picked up a Solar team to have an ECNL group. Solar had ONE dominant team after their second team went to Feet, and the top D2 team (until the ONLY LH LP team in 00s went to Solar at the last minute...). Texans had 1 D1 team...their D2 team disbanded. Sting had 4 D1 teams and 2 more D2 teams...Standings says that Solar, Texans and Feet all sit above Sting, so their strong position before it unfolded was not the advantage it could have been.
It isn't the same as the situation from the 03s, and it is a "what if" but some of the 03s will change teams and clubs...I am not saying it will or won't happen, but worrying about it too much now seems pretty futile...of course, I don't normally comment on the 03s, and it did draw me into the discussion, so maybe it is productive after all...lol.

Ya'll just enjoy it. You have so many years ahead of you. It's a fun journey with your daughters no matter what division or league you play in. The wins and losses all wash away.

Amen to both! Have fun with it...One reason to always respect your opponent is you never know when those people will be driving your kid to practice etc. It is fun. Enjoy the ride!

Re: Week 13 D1LHGCL Predictions
The difference between SRSA and everyone else right now is they don't panic when they get the ball and are under pressure. There are about a handful of teams trying hard to play a more possesion style of soccer but when they face another top team and are now under pressure they all have a tendancy to struggle. Not the case with SRSA from what I've seen. They very easily could lose but most teams still have a ways to go to catch up with their consistency. Fun team to watch and good for the age group to have someone to go after. Should make for some good soccer down the road.

Not much value in depth of teams, IMO.
Look at Solar/Liverpool and, to a lesser degree, Sting in the U14 age group. Solar/LP combined the top two teams from U13 (by a very wide margin, I might add) and currently sit fourth. Sting combined their top 4 teams and currently sit 7th.
