Flip that - a team that doesn't have a winning record isn't necessarily a failure either, but many parents think it is.

Let’s be honest, most of these kids will either drop out or don’t have the athleticism to go on so don’t worry so much about their “development”. Those that do go on will be just fine, they’ll figure out the game or find a good coach that will explain it to them. Soccer isn’t rocket science.
No, soccer isn't rocket science. But, it's a helluva more complicated than the fools who are concentrating on what ranking their kid's place is within the state make it out to be....

A parent of a 6th-grader should not be concerned with how the score of the game went. Unless they are out for Facebook likes. If so, get her onto a rec or town travel team and run up those stats.

“A parent of a 6th-grader should not be concerned with how the score of the game went.”
So when your kid was playing U12 you didn’t care, at all, about the scores of the games? You’d roll into the house and tell the wife that “Mia really developed today as a player” with no mention of who won and who lost.
Ya, sorry not buying it. Not even a little. But preach on preacher.

Still feel that way a bit, to be honest.

Since everyone loves to share their thoughts here is another one....This thread merely exists to talk about soccer, if you think it’s dumb then why bother commenting just find another thread. Club soccer’s intent, and yes it’s only the intent, is to find highly motivated players group them together and see what happens. Yes agree parents get wrapped up in it and some are delusional. Think part it starts with the time commitments and yes money spent. Most likely it never goes anywhere but you’ll never know if you don’t try.

If you want to see if you can push this forward into some future successes, then the thread wouldn't exist.

The most ridiculous part of the 07 thread isn't the 07 parents. It's the parents of older kids who continue to comment on it, just to make themselves feel superior. Spoiler alert: no one in the real world gives a crap about how your daughter's U16 team did either. It's just as meaningless as the U12 team. Difference is that YOU care and therefore you think it matters. It doesn't. It's just that the parents of older players have long since moved on from obsessing over their kids soccer "career".
