    Absolutely applicable. Starbucks nor Panera are highly selective. true coffee snobs and Foodies look down on both brands just as you look down on GPS. The masses however appreciate their offering and return. Lemonade stand owners....well, they sound alot like you when complaining why business is down

      The analogy that true soccer people look down at GPS the way coffee snobs look down at Starbucks is so dead on. I agree completely. It's the reason GPS got looked over for Girls ECNL, Boys ECNL, Girls DA and Boys DA beyond U12. Hopefully parents of children that are serious about soccer will recognize how limiting it is to stay with GPS beyond middle school.

        See, we actually agree.

        Seriously, and respectfully, why do you care?
        If you are happy with your choices, why do you feel the need to bash another club, their 100s of teams and the 1000s of families making different choices.

        My motivation is simple - defending a club where our family has had a very good experience.
        Please help me understand your motivation

            Can keep this up as long as you can

                I guess ill take that as your concession speech.

                My D is u15/02 has played on 2 among the 100s of teams you mention.
                We started at u12 because it was conveniet, and a significant upgrade to our local club.
                We stay because the experience has been great. Coaching is making her better and team is competitive. Most importantly, she likes the girls, I like parents. We are happy.

                I'm happy you are happy with your choice. I don't get why you are unsettled by others satisfaction

                  So is there another character you wish to play today, or will you be settling on this one for a while?

                    BTNT is the site administrator? Makes a lot of sense.

                      So miopic
                      You are so self absorbed that you cannot even imagine that someone's work hours are late evening to early morning.
                      As per other posters, you have the right to ignore threads that seem to annoy you. What you lack, is the ability.
                      Finally, instead of being constructive and contributory, you choose to show how little you know. Again, you have the ability to keep quiet.....what you lack is the know-how.

                        Thanks for the explanation, BTNT. We did know that you likely worked an overnight security detail.

                          Great post - 'development centric' and ecnl, development of ecnl founding clubs bank accounts, now there is the pot calling the kettle black. Although you did preface with the word 'solely' nice save

                              What is this development masquerade? ECNL is a Showcase.
                              ECNL's measure of success is college commitments. Parents pay for their D to have the badge and to get exposure. Development... puh-leaz

                                Playing on any team aides in development, it's a matter of how much and what any individual gets out of it is very much dependent on what that individual puts into it.

                                We'd all love to see your development "model".
