It is a successful business.
How is the soccer? Given the huge range and number of teams, the quality of soccer has to vary tremendously. Like any other massive club, the top tier teams are the main focus and I would accept that thereafter will vary dramatically.
My kids have played on the top teams of other clubs. GPS has provided the best training and coaching...at least at the top tier level. It has been a great balance.
Inflated fees? No more than any of the other clubs.
Inflated egos? Not that we have seen. Certainly less than the other two clubs.
There are plenty of reasons for someone not to like a club. It usually is that your child didn't make a team or was successful on that team. Certainly one could argue that we found more success with GPS and our kids were not thriving with the other clubs.
The only real conclusion is that there is a balance to achieve and that each child is going to be different. That reality will affect how one sees each team, coach, and club.
