    Because you can't handle the truth. 15-passenger vans to NorCal and back. Sweet!!!

      Sure they will. Just like GDA is 4 practices/week (except with Thorns it's 3). Just like GDA has free tryouts accessible to all (except with Thorns it's $125). Just like GDA only does one game/weekend because the almighty training to game ratio is sacred (except with Thorns it's sometimes doubleheaders). Thorns academy will definitely fly to games farther than Seattle. Except sometimes they will take 15 passenger vans.

          Four cases of Red Bull guzzled.

          Six hours on the side of the road pouring water bottles on the radiator.

          The memories? Priceless.
          This is what so many people miss. It is the memories that are valuable. None of this soccer stuff will matter in 4-8 years. Nobody at the office cares what team your kid is on, no matter how polite they are. Your family is interested, but if you told them your kid made the chess team they'd be happy for you in the same way. The Facebook crap you post about a soccer win or whatever, annoys most people but they click "like" to be nice and stroke your ego.

          It is the memories and friendships that the kids are building right now that will last for the rest of their lives. Even if that is crammed in a van for 20 hours round trip to California or Utah with 17 other kids.

          No matter how the parents get an ego boast by all this crap and how excite you will be to post the photo of your kid signing with whatever school, you are really the one that cares about this.

          So chill out and enjoy the ride, even if it is a long hot van ride or flying first class, whatever.

            Didn't the Academy just take a bus 6 plus hours each way to go to Canada? It was a nice bus though.

              That is the definition of a sweet ride.

                It was the Boltbus, wasn't it? $18 one-way.

                  Do they get an entire team in there?

                    Just the 11 that get to play. The other 20 stay home and watch their friends enjoying themselves playing HS soccer.

                      I've heard about that thing but it is much more impressive when you get to see a photo. I bet it is fun to drive around town in.

                          Is greyhound an option? It would save a few dollars.

                            That photo made me laugh.

                              Does that have enough seat belts?

                                I'm sure it only is designed for a few people which moving.
