I will tell you this though; The Winter season fee is absolutely ridiculous. $699?? I understand about field rentals but that is a Crazy number-
Wait until the Spring season and give it a shot. I'm sure you will be happy with it.

Good for younger kids, especially at town teams. Less so for kids past the age of 12 or 13.
At my kids former club, the vast majority of players also doing NCE were on the second team. There's a point where you have to really consider what your child may get out of the program and what the cost is with adding another day.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's BS. My daughter was asked to play in it for the first 2 or 3 years it began. When we found out that nearly half her team was doing it, we declined. It was early a money grab from the get go. They accepted anyone vain enough to think their kid was special that could afford to pay the ridiculousoney and travel to these far away locations.

It's a matter of perspective. If you are coming from a D2 league or lower it's a breath of fresh air. Your kid gets to train with some better-dedicated players. If your child plays for a quality D1 team, you may nod your head in disbelief with some of the "selectees" that made the cut.
Nevertheless, the winter program is $200 more than most comparable ones. Some are even greater values because you get more actual field time.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere is no 10 week winter training program worth $699. That is an absurd number. And you purchase your own uniform. Even at $250 for a half field rental cost it doesn't add up. But look, that's their business and income, if you have it its your money to spend.

That’s $699 for the winter only and they also charge you 30 bucks to tryout. The big let down comes the second or third week when you realize the quality of players they accepted.
