And Grahovic's dad is on Twitter publicly threating the AD to either keep the coach or the team walks, just like last year. Wonder if the AD bitches out again and gives in

GS looks like a G League team with this lineup right now

Depending on your carrier, you will need an "add-on" on top of your normal monthly plan to use the watch stand alone. It doesn't just automatically use your base cellular plan

For example could they move some players down from the top team to play for their other team in the Presidents Cup, or is their second tier team roster frozen based on what was used in league play

In Louisiana LCSL you can't move down, but you can move up, or pull from teams registered in USYouth or US Club soccer that aren't participating in LCSL

Agree that they'll win around that number because Mack did that

They lost 2 games in the last 30 seconds last year. Just make 2 extra defensive plays and they are 8-4, even with everything else going on

Having gone through 8 of these placements with my own daughter, first thing I will say is that if you stick around long enough, you will learn that often times the placements have very little to do with actual ability, and much more to do with who knows who and "political" BS. And I say this as someone who's kid was a Red player on some very successful teams, and played several years on Black as well

Cynicism aside, your quote about her being a late birthday is very possibly the reason. I know a decade ago, when putting together the youngest teams, they would almost always default to the older/bigger kids on black, and then work their way down. If she's small of stature, or doesn't play very physical, this could be all it really is.

As far as the team aspect goes, and her ability to move up, that will all depend a great deal on the coach she gets for her Maroon team. At this age, the focus should squarely be on development and getting better at all phases of her game. Hopefully her coach will agree in that mindset, and make sure that in year from now she shows up to placement a better and more capable player, regardless of how the team W/L record goes. Again, that varies wildly from coach to coach, so hopefully she gets a good one who is wanting what's best for her

Finally, remind her and yourself that Maroon at 5th grade isn't a "death sentence", and she has plenty of time to improve, both naturally and with outside work if she so desires. Typically there is a ton of movement in the middle school years, between players going up and down in skill, as well as players leaving to do to other things. My advice is to take this year to learn and grow, and have the goal of becoming the best player she can be so next year they have no choice but to take notice and put her on a better team

Lamar Dixon has so many soccer fields

Because that area isn't owned/part of Lamar Dixon. It's the Cajun Industries Soccer Complex, used by the Ascension Flight Soccer Club

Maybe if there were enough kids playing baseball/softball in AP to have a club/organization that could partner with a business to build it, it would have happened.
