It's humorous to read the FC partisans in here acting all indignant (and pretending to be random passers-by) that someone would do a (club name) = (silly emoji) thread about their precious little club, while everyone knows the worst trolls in this forum are the FC mommies, and possibly a coach or two.
OP is onto something, though. Club lacks confidence in its ability to grow its own talent, so is contantly recruiting. How will a 5th place GU12 team compete in ECNL next year? They're hoping to sucker girls from the clubs in front of them in the standings to come on over, and many of the current girls on the A team will find themselves on the B team. Seventh grade isn't too early to start getting some of that college exposure and frequent flyer miles.
