Vail u-17

[shtbrkd00]

Anyone know any scores?

[kryptic]

i dont know any of the scores but i do kno that Balt. came in 1st....Col. 2nd

and we came in 13th (alright for a new team)

[MClothier]

yea im from norcal (the goalie #1, maybe u guys who were there saw me play...) but heres the rankings for the a bracket: blc, colorado, fireballs, friars (PA), texas, norcal, long island, minnesota. as for the b bracket, i kno NorCO (ft collins) won it, not sure over who tho.

[shtbrkd00]

the standings seem about right. i didnt realize colorado was that good :)
the fireballs are from md right? i expected higher from them.

of course me being from texas, what did you guys think of team texas this year

[MClothier]

yea colorado had some pretty good guys, big guys too. team texas was just as quick and just as physical as norcal(my team). we are usually the most physical team in the tourney(refs hate us for it) but texas stepped it up and beat us the first time 10-9 and the second time 8-6, so we were pretty evenly matched. fireballs are from md.

[kryptic]

*sigh* NorCo won div. B?....grrr we almost got into a fight with them...because on of their players started pushing our coach around and cursing at our players while doing to handshakes at the end of the game.



*edit*

I heard some teams had college players on their teams or people older than 17...

[MClothier]

yea, the friars of penn.(malvern prep) had a bunch of graduated seniors(one guy had on a loyola college d-1 cpx on), colorado had a few guys.

[FCLax]

I played for Team NorCo (Norther Colorado), and yea, we did end up winning the B bracket...we beat Centennial, aka Cherry Creek (*******S! :agree), 6-5 for the championship...suprisingly we beat Point Break in the semi's after a triple over-time...we were down by 2 or 3 and ended up coming back and beating them by uno...I actually do remember you NorCal goalie (#1)...

[FCLax]

btw, Arizona...that first game with you guys got pretty intense there towards the end...good game

[MClothier]

FClax- wut number were u? i was talkin to some of ur players on the second to last nite, maybe i was talkin to u too?

[FCLax]

I was #21 up in Vail...was it like 5 or 10 guys you talked to? and did you talk to them in Vail in the village? cuz if you did, I know exactly who you talked to, but it wasn't me cuz I stayed in Avon and there wasn't really anyone there but a couple chick stix

[MClothier]

o ok nvm, it was ur goalie with the red hair and a d-pole in downtown vail.

[FCLax]

yea but we came out hella flat in the second game...

what number were you?

[FCLax]

i was #21...i had a breakaway after snatching the ball up and going between 2 of your defenders then ended up 1 on 1 with your goalie and scored...dunno if you remember, but i sure do! haha Vail was sick...I love going up there

[mx255]

there were a lot of loder guys in vail for alot of teams. There was a good kid number 6 on the socal team too.

[LaXDaVe]

How do you even get on one of these teams? Sorry, I sound like an ***, but I'd like to play next year, that'd be sick.

[kryptic]

for our team it was invite only

[MClothier]

we had to be asked to try out, for norcal.

[georgialax1]

if you have some decent skill im sure it wouldnt be too difficult...

[shtbrkd00]

for team texas, you had to be invited to try out, and if you made the tryouts, then youd be able to go

[MClothier]

hey shtbrkd00, u were on team texas? i was on norcal. the goalie, #1. u guys were pretty good, we had some close matches. good job

[blckout20]

no i wasnt, but a lot of people i know were on it

[mrcleanwell]

This tournament sounds real cool and it seems like you guys had a blast. Could you give me some info on how these things work?

Do you have to pay for you own transportation or do sponsors pay for and is it mostly decent players or is it the best kids in the country? Do you have a list of what teams sent players?

Sorry about all the questions but I am really interested in these things,they sound great.

[MClothier]

in most cases u have to pay ur own way. norcal was like 1300 for everything, but worth every penny. its not the best of the best kids in the country, but they are a lot better than most players (thats y they call the teams "all-star" teams).

[blakelax25]

most tournament you have to pay for everything. transportation there, lodging, tournament fee, and in most cases you have to pay to be on whatever team your playing for

[kryptic]

whoa...our cost per person was like $300...we really only payed for transportation, the hotel, and the tourny fee....all our equipment we got to keep and was free

[schratxs20]

are these liek empire teams or like county teams?
