Basically people, unless your kid is in the top 18-20 players in the state... It truly doesn't matter where they end up. Get them on a competitive team and let them enjoy their soccer "career". They will be done in 4ish years... Don't over-think this.

Imagine what the already overpriced GPS fee will balloon to now that they don't have the revenue from the Needham tournament. Wow!

The really sad part is those 18-20 players aren't really just playing on traditional youth teams any longer but are being pulled up into semi-pro teams and playing against college age players where everything the kool-aide sellers promote is going on for real but at a fraction of the cost.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhat do you think club soccer is about these days, snacks and fruit drinks? If you want to compete against the big boys in soccer globally you first need to be able to compete in the board room against the highly professional soccer clubs from around the globe that control the game. In that context a club like GPS is just small potatoes and clubs like FC Boston don't even register. There was an article posted a week or so ago about the legal battles around transfer fees. Suggest you go read it before you whine again about the business side of youth soccer.

However, I know for a fact that this is negotiable. Several people have gotten a reduced rate simply by complaining or threatening to leave. The high fees make up for those smart enough to speak up.
