Anyone know anything about this La Liga club/training/whatever it is, coming to Wide World of Sports? The fact its partnering with Disney and has the best fields just about anywhere to train on, I assume they have some money behind them. But the website is just about useless.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe only thing I know is that this is a development program for soccer. it will not probably follow the format that you see in the US. It's going to probably be shaped like Spain. La liga is partnering with them so I am sure the methodology will probably come from them. I dont know about it being a club or not, or competition.. but I am assuming this will be different.
I think all the clubs within a stones throw GOU, FLR, PSC and any others around there could lose a bunch of players.

However, parents will run to get their kids signed up for the same reason that they now run to get into DA or any other "new and improved" program. They will pay big bucks and get to brag to other soccer parents but in the end, their kids will remain mediocre at best in comparison to the rest of the world.

Finally someone taking sense here
DA is a big lie. Parents if you paying to have your kid play than that program is equally like all others, looks for the best coach that develop your kid

How many times does your child touch the soccer ball when he is not at practice?
How long can your child juggle a ball with both feet? Their head?
How many times does your child get together with other kids and play pick-up ball?
How many times do they free-style? Play Futsal?
If you are like the vast majority of us the answer will be ZERO! The best Spanish coach in the world cannot turn kids that do not live and breathe soccer into soccer players. It works in Spain because they have a soccer culture which we do not have.
I will agree with you that several clubs around the area may lose players to this venture for the same reason that a previous post stated, bragging rights, but that is all it amounts to.

Kids in this country do not live soccer like they do in Spain so whatever high end training La Liga may bring, it will mean little if anything. Our soccer kids simply don't have what basketball and football kids have in this country, hunger. Our kids overall are mostly spoiled brats who play the game like they do everything else, for fun. Daddy and Mommy will use their money to make sure they make the team, get playing time and get the trophy at the end. All good until you face a hungry Honduran whose life depends on soccer.
