US Soccer DA and US CLUB SOCCER ECNL operate through local clubs and they can’t control what these clubs do? Therein lies the problem. No checks on the local youth clubs to mandate that the young teams are traveling all over for tournaments to get other clubs to in turn send players back to its tournaments.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostExactly. If anything, it teaches the kids to be proactive, plan ahead, and to communicate with higher ups. With technology the way it is, it’s like the occasional work at home day. I know my daughters team all does their homework together on the bus and they have fun with it (aka team building)

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOur HS has very strict attendance policies and many teachers are very uncooperative when your kid starts to miss a decent number of days. We have to get pre-approval for any missed days that aren't sick days. Missing school for sports goes over like a lead balloon. I was talking with some parents at nationals from a NE state. They get out much later than we do but they also had a ton of missed school snow days (like our hurricane days lol) and some had to arrange to take finals early because they weren't out of school yet.
