That's kind of funny........impossible but funny. -
So this age group might be the most difficult to figure out. Anybody make sense of US Academy, FPL, FSPL teams? Seems like a mess to sort out if you have a son/daughter who can play at a high level. Anyone have thoughts to add?Comment

FSPL and NPL are both above average leagues. If your son is good enough to play academy he should consider it. That's pretty much it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What if his club team is as good as the academy teams? he has the desire to to want to be considered by US Soccer and ODP but wants to stay with his buddies. you think they look at his club team or only consider academy teams?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

ODP does not look at academy teams. Academy teams can not participate in ODP. Your son needs to commit to being the best player he can be or choose to stay with his friends. At some point, even if it's not academy, he will likely have to leave his buddies to further his "career". Can't do both, but neither choice is "wrong". Just a personal decision.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The Academy teams in Region C are terrible and do not have the best talent and will not have the best talent because the coaching/training is poor.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Region "A" and Region "B" do have quality Academy teams in Weston and OCYS. Players in those regions should be encouraged to play DA but Region "C" players are better off avoiding the Academy teams.Comment

So are you out evaluating all of the talent in Region C and attending the DA teams training sessions to evaluate them.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
And what qualifies you to be evaluating either?Comment

I think TBU U-14 team is terrific. However they are not as strong as their academy or Clearwater's. That statement is just not accurate.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You're right they're not as strong as the DA teams... they're stronger.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Maybe you are right. Obviously you have a kid there. I heard the TBU academy team handled the U-14 team pretty easy in a scrimmage. Also saw the Clearwater academy team and am pretty sure they are stronger than TBU U-14. Either way whatever makes the kids/parents happy. It's all good.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Is that YOU HCU??
Good to see TBU parents carrying on the HCU standard of being overly confident and obnoxious. Easy to brag this year when your team is playing up and cannot be tested again. You should put TBU#1 (Last season) at the bottom of your future posts.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Thanks again dad for showing us your old HCU stripes.Comment

Yes the u14 team was handled quite easily by the DA team. Not even close.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
