Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's correct and typical of not just SCU but many clubs. Fewer boys get recruited for college than girls, so the depth tends to decline as they start to age out. Not all clubs by any means, but not unusual at all.
Really? Numbers show the only ones that decline in numbers at older ages in greater numbers are girls teams. And they have more scholarships available. Get your statements straight.

I'm watching a player compete for the attention of a coach from a particular school in east bum fvck with terrible academics. But the school is D1, so the club is pushing her to get recruited. College and the club are treating soccer as more important than their academics and future careers. All for a partial scholarship to a sh!thole campus. She already has qualified for Bright Futures.
Horrible situation.
What are you talking about? Who are you talking about? How is someone supposed to follow your comments when no one knows what you are referring to?

Besides girls who have gone on to Div 1 schools and pro teams and national teams and camps?
Yeah, not as much to report on the boys side in terms of individual success like the girls, but so what?
It is youth sports buddy. Get a grip.

a) Is that all you've got? - No, it's all I feel like typing off the top of my head
b) That league/tournament/association isn't competitive. - Yes it is
c) Who cares about that? - well apparently you do if you asked

I trust you can find your own way to the club's About Us page on their website to see a list of the coaching awards they have won in this same time period.
But here's what zealots like you don't seem to be able to grasp. Most parents don't really care all that much about this stuff. They know little Susie and little Sam aren't going to play soccer in college or go pro. They are perfectly happy for their child to simply enjoy the game at a highly competitive level while they are still children. They pay for their child to get a positive experience that provides the benefits associated with team sports and be developed to their ability.
The last phrase being the key. So what if a club doesn't churn out more than one or two state champ teams each year or send players to the national team on an annual basis. Very few kids can even be developed to that level regardless of which club they are playing for. It takes talent, skill, and a burning drive that very few people possess.
I know the folks on TS who are obsessed with soccer scholarships find this a completely alien way of approaching youth soccer, but it's true. Most of us just want our kids to have fun competing and loving the game and truly do not care whether our child continues in the sport when they age out.
SCU does remarkably well for a club in a non-urban market. Comparing them to clubs that can draw talent from more population dense areas like Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville is silly.
From SCU's website: "Our mission is to provide high-quality soccer instruction to children in our community in a safe and fun environment."
I don't see where their mission statement says anything about guaranteeing parents state championships and soccer scholarships. Anyone who expects that from their club is being unrealistic.
Okay, so feel free to respond with "none of that proves anything" And....go!

Got bored half way through. USCS "state Champions". Florida Cup. Hardly "state champions". And good job. You are a good girls club. Were.

Still the best club in the county. You can post all your BS and complaints but it doesn't change anything. Must suck to spend so much time trying to make the club look bad and yet we still keep plugging along.
