TBU got denied Girls DA and Full Boys DA...again!

The irony is that the Top Tier players at TBU (and any club) know they can play anywhere they want that best fits their families needs because GDA and ECNL provide the same exposure to everything. It's actually the 2nd tier players and parents that are most gullible and easily swayed with the "highest league" argument - that is why the GDA teams are struggling so much this year - they don't have the Top Tier players in the area.

This ^ is tbu problem, parents , money can’t buy your way in th GDA, a d same as the earlier post, about GDA player that went to TBU, daddy couldn’t buy her way any more....

TBU parent who is equally delusional. Florida is not really a hotbed for soccer. You’re equally wasting time with your child chasing a highly unlikely percentage wise USNT dream and puny scholarship.

Reality:

Rec = Fun

Travel = competitive fun and maybe a college or two noticing your kid at Disney

NPL = Expensive competitive play, some fun, a couple colleges looking at your kid

ECNL = Very expensive, very competitive play, (girls only - boys still travel level talent), some fun, HS ball if your player chooses, a large number of colleges coming to the tourney. Good chance your player could play college somewhere if college soccer is your goal. Limited outside chance of nat'; camp invites.

DA = Can be expensive depending on your club, very competitive play, all the colleges come to all the tourneys (boy and girl). Fun is not the point. Good chance your player could play college somewhere if college is the goal. Good chance for Nat'l invites for the truly talented. Best shot at the US for pro/MNT and WMNT. After the reset with the MNT, we shall see what effect that has with players coming up through DA.

Conclusion:

There is a program for every kid. You need to figure it out by U14-ish otherwise, you will be throwing good money after bad.

What’s TBU’s excuse this year for not getting Girls DA or FULL Boys DA? Last year TBU claimed that you didn’t apply after you got passed over? This year they applied for both again and got shutout again. Clearly the message from US Soccer is that you don’t develop. You only recruit from other clubs. Let’s see how you spin it this time around.

This has to be some CC clown. TBU doesn’t develop.lol Huh...interesting. The best player in CC DA was developed by TBU. I believe his name is MJ.

She is a talented and smart player. She does not need anyone to buy her way anywhere.

Reality check for all of you.... none of this really matters! Get a life, DA NO DA it’s so irrelevant! Looking for that golden ticket to a D1 school for your kid? Send them to ID camps if your kid is good and they have what it takes they will get offers, if not well move on and stop living your lost dreams through your kid.

Finally...Someone who lives in the real world. All this DA & ECNL talk about kids wont get recruited if you are not playing at that level. Ridiculous nonsense!!! Emily Madril from FSU never player DA or ECNL. All it took it was one look from Mark and he offered her a scholarship on the spot. If you are quality, you are quality period.

You know its bad at TBU when their DOC has to put on a coaching license course to make sure their coaches have their "D" licensed for State Cup a month before State Cup starts????

I wonder is there was any bias to who passed and who did not. Did the DOC just give out the license like candy on Trick or Treat.

US Soccer should investigate.

Hey...dumb@$$. One...SC already started. Two...that was part 1 and by the time those coaches have their "D" we will be in round of 16.

Investigate what? Everyone knows D licenses are pretty much handed out. If you fail the D license, then you have no business coaching.

You are right that this happens occasionally. My daughter is a GK and she knows of girls around the country that had played volleyball or basketball their entire youth and then switched to soccer their Junior year in H.S. and then got a scholarship for Notre Dame or Penn State, etc. without ever playing ECNL, GDA, etc. It happens, it's rare. If you have a kid like that and for some unknown reason you want her to play FSPL or CDL then have it. Just know that there are paths with a higher likelihood of success:

You know it's March when all the BS starts flying around TS as the tryouts begin! This is really a stretch. There is a long list of things that US Soccer should investigate but this isn't one of them.

I really kind of feel bad for TBU and it's parents. Every year they keep hoping and hoping. They keep looking at each other and say "gosh darn-it, people like us", only to be rejected, over and over and over again. Every year they are at the bottom of the DA and sometimes not winning a game all year. Then you throw in all the off the field scandals and controversy, it is downright embarrassing to the area. Finally, from what I hear, people all over are starting to realize what is going on at TBU. At least the top players are starting to realize it.

Fake News.......

Being at TBU is more like working for a great company and you just hope that some j*rks don't hire into the organization and screw it all up. Really are no scandals or controversies and the only thing TBU parents keep hoping and hoping for is that the psycho parents that are miserable at surrounding clubs stay there! Our kid has been recruited by two clubs with DA and while she is flattered she has no interest in joining either club! Informed parents at TBU know exactly what is going on - they have it great!
