Still can't get into DAComment

At this point do you want to? GDA is sinking faster than the Titanic around here. If MLS clubs pull out of BDA that leagues loses its luster.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Youth soccer clubs don't scale well, hard to get good coaching talent across so many teams...unless you assume that a british accent = good coachingComment

Does it? Highly committed players capable of balancing 4 practices per week and 1 match while juggling extensive travel and academics would still interest colleges.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The athleticism and quality of play is one thing. Traveling to places like Florida and California for showcases on their own(without helicopter parents) demonstrates independence that coaches need when recruits show up on campus. DA intills a bit of independence and demonstrates grit and commitment to task to coaches and admissions.Comment

Awesome because there's a real shortage of premier clubs in CT that one can write a check out to.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You guys should just do a podcast together to discuss this DA VS ECNL.. you don't even need another topic. You can just go over the same points over and over with minor variations to keep us interested. Just post the link when you figure out the logistics. We Got Soccer, NEFC and Stars may be interested in a sponsorship. There I've even monetized it for you.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

They have zero interest in producing great players. They are bottom feeders and will gladly find a spot for the player with nowhere else to go. There is a ton of money in that market. And at the end of the day, why not. A kid gets to play a sport they love, even though they aren't that good at. Nothing wrong with that.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Our experience with GPS was awful. Too many players on roster, most of whom were no good. Different coach every couple weeks and half of them were awful. Mostly foreign coaches on visa. We had one that screamed nonsense like “what are you doing?!” or “how did that work for you?!” throughout the game. We even had one who didn’t show up for a game. If it hadn’t been for one of the parents who had his coaching license to fill in, we would have forfeited after driving over an hour to the game. We thought it was just our team until talking to parents of other GPS teams who had similar experiences. We got out and would advise others to steer clear of GPS.Comment
