These posts that suggest there's a single club that doesn't want more money and instead it's need that is the driver or that quantity (more money) takes a back seat to quality (whatever the **** that means)... LOL

But, that's irrelevant. The facts are we are getting easily 4x the amount of NEFC e-mails this year than last. They are topping everyone else combined. Add in the TS post which number over a dozen pushing for players, and the $$$ issue makes sense.
Call Stars what you want, and I've called them plenty, but they make tons of money.

It's been the standard business model in the industry and what every club hopes to do.

I would say not since NEP's 3rd year at the latest have you seen any club not be willing to expand to a point of taking checks from parents for rec players. Before then was a bit different and it was just GPS among the club's who fielded top level teams in the state whip would do this as a business practice. A decade ago or more several clubs would have never taken checks from parents for the quality of player their taking now. They're ALL in the rec soccer business now.

Absolutely true, although I think clubs were being more selective then and also parents weren't nearly as hell-bent on putting a club soccer label on every child, even those that lacked any athletic potential whatsoever. Ultimately, town soccer failed miserably to deliver an appropriate development environment and far too many parents reached for the brass ring of club soccer, seeking prestige and development opportunities that would hopefully elevate their children.
There is nothing wrong with a club being small, selective, and development focused, but those clubs are few and far between.
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostA decade ago, most clubs were small operations. It wasn’t that they were being selective, it’s that they didn’t have the resources to accommodate more players. They would have gladly taken more checks then as well. The training was better then, regardless. Coaches were focused on their players. Players got more attention in small groups rather than huge , overcrowded practices. They eventually add coaches, and got playing fields, etc. The quality of soccer and player development has suffered immensely with the walmartization of youth soccer.

If you build it, they will come. And build and build, diluting and distorting the meaning of elite, in marketing elite, they have.
