    This is the classic pay to play.

    The "learning center" is your backyard and a wall. Kids that want to get better will go out and train on their own.

                  All lesson plans are available. 17 coaches are going to Spain in April. 3 kids have trained at FC Barcelona through TOVO (two of them girls). Five kids left two days ago to train for three months there

                    Tovo is a joke. Train in Barcelona but that's similar to someone from Kansas saying we get train in Los Angeles.

                      Are the kids training for free or are they paying $20K to train for 3 months.

                      There is a reason why the European clubs are branding camps and training opportunities in the USA. It is because we are willing to pay... especially on the girls side.

                          Know for a fact that lesson plans aren't available. And this is just another boondoggle waste of money. WashT already spent a bucket load on Timbers Alliance membership - and got nothing. Then it was the Dutch - and got nothing. Now it's TOVO - and they got nothing. There's a sucker born every minute - and all of them seem to be running WashT.

                            Nothing?

                            Best little DA in Oregon/SW Washington
                            More girls in 04/05 GDA than any other club
                            The only local club that ownes:
                            Women's 1st team (they won NWPL last year)
                            Men's 1st team (just acquired the Vancouver Victory)
                            A complex with 3 lighted turf fields

                            WashT has established themselves as the top youth academy in Oregon/SW Washington with the possible exception, of course, of the Timbers/Thorns (though that could even be debated).

                            Don't be surprised if they step out from under the shadow of the Portland Timbers in the next few years and go it on their own.

                              TOVO does have a point about asking if your club is a learning center because the answer is no. Oregon soccer is in the dark ages and is up there with the worst in the USA. We have OYSA that does nothing to promote development. If our leading organization are lazy and not in touch with their members then what do you expect? We have the Timbers that is in it for cash only. TOVO, GPS and other European clubs see dollar signs and prey on the gullible US parent. It's just utter nonsense!
