I have always defended stars and the coaches but I think it’s finally gotten out of control. There are kids on my daughters ecnl team who simply should not be there but because there are two teams what’re you gonna do? Gotta fill the rosters. From what I’ve seen there are enough girls for basically 1.5 ecnl teams so the .5 gets screwed. Sure they get all the same opportunities but they are playing with kids who can’t hack it. This leads to abusive coaching (of course it shouldn’t let’s not get swamped with that) and kids who are starting to hate soccer.

Maybe if they had real tryouts it would be different.
Putting kids on the team cuz the coach ‘scouted’ them in some other environment doesn’t really cut it. At least that’s what happened on our team. -
They are given a spot because that's how you steal players.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Our team had real tryouts. Kids were dropped. Only mine and two others had contracts heading into tryouts. That’s pretty real for a team of 20 with all
But one returning to the club.Comment

No, abusive coaches lead to abusive coaching. If kids are unhappy because their teams aren't winning then they should re-assess why they are playing at all. They just as easily could wind up on a losing college team.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Wait a moment!! Isn't this was the Stars Girls program. I thought that they were 100s of players deep with superior talent over any other club. OK, maybe not 100's but I thought they were. The 2019 commitment list has 48 girls playing soccer in college. The 2020/2021 has already 23 listed and still increasing....or not? But 23 playing soccer in college is easily enough to field two teams even with some of the lesser goddesses playing.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Are you saying that the club is going down-hill? Is that why the teams are weaker? Is this why the coaches are becoming, as you say, abusive?Comment

She is a starter and played every minute of every game last season. It’s the environment not my daughters ability.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Stars have players choice so you can change teams if you don’t like the coach next season. And if it’s the coach we all think it is you got what you deserve. Everyone kowns his reputation.Comment

ECNL season hasn't even started for U15+, which is when it matters, but the Stars demise is already a done deal? Ok.Comment

Clearly she thinks she's better than her teammates, or dad does. Even if she were, he should use it as a learning opportunity - if she's a top player then become a leader not a whiner. Learn the lesson that things won't always go your way. How you deal with that matters way more than game resultsOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Are you joking? Surs, it must be the “ environment”. Your kid is superior. Ok. Ummm, There are 11 starters on every team. What’s your point?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
