'Going nowhere, real quick', is better, you say:
Your motto:
1. sold you car without an engine (mercedes)
2. local club team roster spot at 10x the going rate.
All in your expensive, useless race to nowhere.
Hope for your family's sake you get 'better'.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt shouldn't be too hard to get their attention considering their numbers were so low to begin with they were reduced to offering the Salem club hopper (CFC to FCP to Westside to Eugene to 4H to FCP to Thorns academy all before age 14) a spot. And even she has quit already. DA coaches have been observed scouting at 03/04 ECNL training sessions. The birth year realignment for academy will help some next year (teams will be 00/01 combined and 02/03 combined). But the 03 and 04 academy pools were weak sauce and everyone knows it.

If you go by your analogy then if you are playing (and paying for Oregon ECNL) then you are making Mercedes payment, but you may also be driving a Yugo. It may be a different color, but it is still a Yugo.

Besides, the DA girls that quit DA for basketball or for more play time need somewhere to play. Nice to have choices. And regular old clubs still bring in the most players and most money so they're not going anywhere either.

Oh and you don't have to be in the DA scam to make a national pool. Every instance in history points to that.
Typical DA coach. ALOT of lying and mostly bs to cover up how bad it is.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe fact that you are bitter about the "club hopper" is telling. What's the rub? Mom post too many pictures of her daughter? Your daughter lose playtime to the hopper? What's up?
She is a good player but I repeat - if Academy was reduced to taking her they did not have a strong tryout pool in that age group at least. And given that she hasn't played for them in weeks per their own match reports, they are obviously up to their usual behavior.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf you knew the family you wouldn't have to ask. Two girls and both good players. But a history of joining clubs and bailing midseason, leaving unpaid bills in the balance. She didn't take playing time from anyone on our team because she barely showed up, coached moved her to B team, and she quit.

Do you think or expect the Academy to run background checks?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo matter. No one really cares. They will soon hippity hop on to another club as soon as they realize the coaches don't think they are all that. If they run outta clubs, they'll just start the circuit over again. The pattern is set and everyone knows the deal.
And fortunately for them, by the time they circle back, there will have been enough coaching shifts nobody will remember the backstory.
