Since I didn't think it was fair for only GK's parents to get to annonymously brag on their kids I figured I'd give the parents of these other positions a chance to brag on their kids as well.

So since there's nothing else going on for the next few weeks, tell me who you think is the best. No names please and if you don't like a kid personally, try to keep those comments to yourself please.

Let the games begin.

LP Keegan has some big, fast defenders with skill. Both center backs are really good.

LP Barnes has skillful midfielder with good vision and passing skills. LP Barnes left outside mid also deserves a shout out with her rocket leg.

So, we can assume you are with FCD or Sting, right?

That outside mid does have a deadly left foot.

Personally I really like the CM for Sting West, from what I've seen she does the majority of the scoring and they really try to work her the ball as much as possible from what I can tell.

As far as defenders go the CB for DTS is great at tracking everything down, they don't really give her too much to really do back there besides run down the ball and clear it but she's very good at what she does.

Now as far as forwards go I enjoy watching the SRSA forwards and mids, but the FCD Gold Forward is fun to watch in space. At times gets knocked around but always comes back for more. I also like the FCD Suarez forward, super fast.

I'm sure I'll think of more kids as the list grows, some very good athletes that are still learning the game of soccer.

Of course this all likely changes pretty drastically the next 2-3 years...but for now here is my take with one caveat. For the girls/teams that made LHGCL...I think they are all way above the average kid. It takes a talented and committed effort to make this league so hats off to all the kids who qualified. They are all good...and are likely to get better over time if they stick with it.

Sting Gutierrez - blond forward, fast, athletic, laser focus, great touch and a GREAT name. One of my favorite kids on the field. Wish she was on our team.

Feet forward - probably a difference maker for them. Without her they are likely still LH..but maybe D2. The also have a super fab defender who if she's not should be the team leader.

FCD Suarez - Front line is a track team. Watch out opposing D1 defenders.

Dallas Rush - Awesome back line that's agressive and very quick. They know the right angles and have kept GA very low over the last 3-4 months.

SRSA - Um, can't remember. From what I recall...I think they may have some above average players somewhere on the field or the bench ;-)

I'm sure there are many others I've missed or have not seen...see caveat above. It will be an interesting year so bring it on!

I like the few who aggressively go after the ball and skillfully whip burro without knocking people down like dominoes, then tactfully and purposely deliver the ball to an open mate or to the top corner of the net. (this does exclude many)

I would say the new blonde forward on Sting Hilton is pretty impressive as well. Came over from SRSA and very dangerous. I've never seen a kid do things with a ball like that one. She's fast, aggressive, and can leave you standing like a deer in headlights whether taking on 1 or several at a time. A very special and gifted player.

Easily identifiable standouts from last season that are still in place. If you took these players off these teams, it would change the entire dynamic.

SRSA
Left wing, Right wing, Forward, CM

FCD Gold Forward

LP Elite CM

F-e-v-e-r - Forward / all position player

Now, this season new standouts and impact players will show up. Some on new teams, some that have always been there and will get their time to shine. But for the most part, we will see team play take over the impact of the individual star.

There is not such thing as the best "defender" as defending happens as a unit. The best defense out there IMO is a tie between SRSA and Liverpool Elite.

SRSA will lead the way with team play as they have the strongest players in every position and AS (by reputation) will downplay the indy stars and focus on team.

The top teams for FCD, Texans, Liverpool, Sting will all follow this philosophy which is why they will remain top 5. Lower teams with the "star" focus will fall further and further behind - much to the dismay of the Suzie super star parents or wanna be Suzie super star parents... Sorry all, it is a team sport after all...

"There is not such thing as the best "defender" as defending happens as a unit. "

i disagree, every team needs a go to person on defense, just like a go to person on offense. The one who saves the goal, the rock solid one that keeps things from turning into a disaster. Teams that try to hide their worst kids on defense, are in for a surprise in classic. The best defenders make it look routine.

They can't do it alone is the point. defenses that work as a unit are better without question. LPE is a good example

A top player in this age group is one who evokes FEAR in the minds of the opposition.

That fast, really skilled, forward with the ponytail is awesome. I'm also really impressed by that fast, really skilled, mid with the ponytail. As far as defenders go, the really skilled, fast one with the ponytail is head and shoulders above the rest.
