Where it becomes an issue is if your kid has a coach that literally sucks the love of the game out of kids. Been there; it's no fun. Thank god a coaching change the next year resurrected the situation. Also you can do all the homework but coaches change unexpectedly, teams implode, clubs implode. Never pre-pay anything in club soccer :)

The club requires you to give your commitment before they hold tryouts. They do not tell you if you're on the 1st or 2nd team, who the coaches are or what league(s) they're playing until well after the season finishes, despite holding tryouts in early May. You just have to sign over some serious money without any of the details, with fingers crossed things work out.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postlike everything, its all in the details. terms like Club and HS are bandied about with no regard for specific situations. I love the last post that says
The game would benefit, players and parents would benefit, from those parent consumers being A LOT more informed about what they're buying and why they're buying it.
this is the line that sums most of it up. I have no issue with anyone knowingly buying a product but so many of the consumers have no real idea as to what they are buying and what motivates the person selling it.
On balance ,playing soccer has been a great experience for my kids but that includes some bad periods in both Club and Hs soccer.
I wish posters just shared thier own experiences as opposed to telling others what they should feel, think or do.
