Next years team will follow the same path...isn't that the goal? the younger teams work hard to get their shot at college at the U18/19 level, its the natural progression. Put your time in, take your lumps and in the end you hopefully reach your goal as a team and player. Why are you judging 15 and 16 year old boys and girls as failures already ???

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is a great perspective. Our daughter is a senior this year and if all goes well will start her college soccer next Fall. Your comment about the "natural progression" is spot on. You really have to trust the process. During her 11 years of soccer she's had some great experiences (winning teams, cool parents, great coaches, fun team mates, etc.) and some not so great experiences (losing teams, crazy parents, lazy coaches, snarky team mates, etc.). But she wouldn't trade any of it and it's all contributed to her "development." The good and the bad all combined have prepared her for the next level. I think some families are naive and expect all these things to be peerfect for 11 years!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI heard a club in Michigan pairs up families with younger kids (like U8) when they join the club with families with older kids (like U16) so that the more experienced families can help the new families navigate the whole process better. Makes a ton of sense so the new families can benefit from the "lessons learned."
Does the TBU leadership not allow people to discuss this topic? It's very bizarre

How can everyone be sitting back and looking at the standings and team records and say “yeah this is working”?
Doesn’t seem like a sustainable model to me

I mean the actual importance of it? I understand when you are playing for something as important as the "almighty State Cup" those W-Ls and GotSoccer points are critical!
Clearly, the "standings and team records" are not holding any kids back from a very bright future. Maybe that's why nobody is complaining - except for you.

What exactly are you proposing they do? Just fold the club and issue refunds to all? All they can do is keep playing, keep fighting and keep trying to improve. In the meantime (yes I know they have a losing record, so I'm not deflecting!!!!!!!!!) they are doing well on the recruiting side.
What's your solution?

There is a difference in your statement. Yes TBU is struggling in ECNL and so is WFF in GDA. Point taken. However, the difference that actually MATTERS, is that TBU is signing players at the next level, quadruple the amount of WFF. At the end of the day, isn't that the goal.
