I agree - the huge wins are not fun nor do they do anything for the girls. I just didn't know how else to play it. They are very good. Any suggestions?

Play boys?
Sounds like you are doing all the right things. I was only suggesting what would be best for your team and ultimately your child's development. Playing bad teams is like running a race against a slower runner. Not much to gain and you never get pushed. My daughter plays up a level and it has been a good challenge. I can go on and on about soccer and all the good and the bad. What I look for is 1. Is your child playing or is she part of a great team and enjoying the game from the bench? We have some super teams here in my area that travel half the nation to play. Are they good, yes. Does your child gain anything from it, depends. These teams will keep their starters on for the entire game and never let the 2nd team players touch the ball. 2. Are they getting good instruction? Generally the superior teams have great coaching. But these team are also getting the cream of players that are already good. Not much needed in their development. Alright, enough plabber. congratulation on a great season by the way.
