We start our coverage featuring some players to watch in the upcoming season. This week, we'll dive deep into the talented U16 age group, and here are some of the most talented outside backs in the pack:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["112583"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d9ff80e6485"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing at right back, Pistorius is a key player for her Sting Dallas Royal ECNL 09. An outside back with an extremely well-developed offensive game, she adds a lot in the attacking half, being one of the team's most efficient attacking weapons. Pistorius can hit opponents in a few different ways with her game as, at the same time her runs off the ball and impressive precision when crossing make of her a very dangerous wide player, she can also beat defenders off the dribble and bring the ball inside to finish or shoot. Pistorius also plays with great energy and efficiency on the defensive side of the game, handling well her area of the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/DilanPistorius/status/1825677468222763205","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/DilanPistorius/status/1825677468222763205 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["159143"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d9ff80e650a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maldonado is a versatile and consistent producer for her Challenge SC ECNL 09 team. Because of her well-rounded game, she can perform different roles in the field, but is typically used at left back with her team, offering them a solid option to make plays out wide. Maldonado also finishes well and knows her way around the penalty box, dishing out several assists when deployed more centrally. She's also very good in dead-ball situations, taking free kicks and corner kicks with tremendous precision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":171564,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/04/IMG_4313.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-171564" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Albion Hurricanes FC G09 vs. Challenge SC G09</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["148467"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d9ff80e655b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reddick's high-energy game makes a very positive impact on her Albion Hurricanes FC ECNL 09 team. She splits her time on the field between the two outside back spots and never lacks in intensity and determination on the field. Reddick is very well-versed offensively, being very prolific at getting to the end line and hitting the ball with extreme precision, be it to send a cross into the penalty box, to finish from distance, or to take a free kick or corner kick. The outside back is also very solid on the defensive side of the game, doing a good job of putting pressure on opponents and using her pace to recover and defend in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/olivia_piola_09/status/1828488078656159812","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/olivia_piola_09/status/1828488078656159812 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
