are kids and parents at these ages unreliable? yes. but you must not have been paying much attention since early because parents have been unreliable and flaky since u9.

Sure ECNL has a emphasis on college but its not a requirement. I like the fact that the club is involved with the college and not sitting on the sidelines. Our son does not see college soccer in his future but ECNL allows him to play against and with higher level competition. Plus if he does decide college soccer he has the foundation in place. My suggestion and we did this is look at a few clubs with Club and ECNL and decided based on what your looking for and being offered to you. The last club we were at seemed like a revolving door and #"s were the main priority over looking to future. I left off DA for have little knowledge on it.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Poststop being sad and depressed! these kids are 16 or 17 years old. they have their lives in front of them. so they play a little less soccer on the weekends. big deal. if your kid really wants to play, there is always a way to do so, either through school, combined aged teams, or pick up. or if you can't get it done that way get him into track, basketball, flag football, something to supplement....

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou're missing the point. There are lots of teenage players out there capable of playing competitive level soccer for a club who would like to do so without the expectation that they are aiming for a college playing career. It's an under-served need that pick up games aren't going to meet.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postif you live in certain more rural areas of the state, i can see how this may be a problem. if you live in south florida, orlando, tampa/clearwater, you can find a team that is not DA or ecnl and that competes at local tournaments. dont understand the problem.
