      We had a pretty good team and a good coach in a crap league and it sucked.
      Then a pretty good coach and a decent team in a better league and it was better.
      Then a really good coach and a really good team in the better league and it was great, but it came with a long drive.
      It's amazing how these clubs are now bashing their own leagues. NEP we are better than MAPLE then SS Selects stomps you. NPL we are better than NEP then an NEP team crushes an NPL team. ECNL we are better than the NPL then NEFC crushes an ECNL team. Are your players good or not is the only thing that matters.

        agreed - it's about:
        1) the players on team, how good are they? from top to bottom;
        2)the coach - does he run good practices, play a formation that works best for the players he has, game management
        3) the parents - are they willing to go above and beyond and travel to tournaments.

        if you have all three you will be successful, you'll get into the top tournaments in high brackets, and you players will get noticed -

        it's not that hard folks.

          And then what? What is the ultimate goal you have for your daughter in her life? To play D1 soccer and then what? What will she ultimately gain from that? The woman in the office next to mine played D1 soccer and was an All american in HS, we are sitting side by side and eat our lunch together. I played D3 college soccer...our lives are identical. I am not against striving for that scholarship, but at what cost?

          Ask yourself what your daughter will really gain from all of this travel and crazy obsessive behavior, coach slandering and sometimes...and worst of all but bashing other young soccer players. You are teaching your daughters nothing with this experience. Most at aztec have shown your daughter its okay to sign a contract and then break it! You talk about GC's morals....look in the mirror people!!!

            Perhaps if that's what your goals are- sounds like you're focused on a scholarship. For me, it's more about the journey than the destination. And as part of that, the league matters a lot- it's more productive and fun if you're playing against a challenging but appropriate level of competition most games. But I'm not claiming I'm "right"- obviously depends on what you and your kid want.

            I've never understood or accepted this line from the clubs about needing to do X and Y in order to qualify for some tournament to get seen. I can see if you need a far away tournament because there's not enough good competition locally to challenge the team, but traveling across the country to get noticed by coaches from geographies where almost none of the kids are going to go to school makes no sense to me- you don't need to go to CA to get seen by BC or Syracuse. You can tell me I'm wrong but look at the commit lists for any club you want. Yeah, it made my kids feel good to get attention from X and Y but they went to play for programs in the northeast just like almost everyone else.

              Listen, IMO it is fine to use soccer as a way of maybe getting into a school she might not otherwise. As an example, if soccer helps my daughter get into Williams or Middlebury, that would be great. We (her parents and my D) are not in this for "exposure" or to get D1 schools to see her. I would hope she would pick Williams over Sacred Heart even though SH is Division 1 (no offense to them, it's a good school, but academically it's not Williams). I want to foster her love of the game, her to play at a challenging level, to learn about the meaning of team and teamwork, hard work, discipline, etc. and the payoff for us and for her IS the journey. I believe parents chasing the ECNL dream just for their D "to get seen" are a bit misguided, but it's a free country.

                Memorial Day weekend has always been about being at a tournament for as long as I can remember.

                So why are the 14s and 13s not playing anywhere?

                Have they checked out? If so where are they going......or did they just want the weekend off?

                just curious.

                  Something always seems wrong when you have people bashing athletic scholarships. It's like they are bitter that someone didn't hand them what in today's world is a hundred grand plus. Forget the life mission crap and putting down scholarship athletes. Let's start with the immediate economic benefit of not having to come up with all of the 60+ thousand per year college now cost and then factor in what not having student loans means to their future economic health.

                    Except soccer doesn't help. You only get into those schools if you have the grades to get into them. Idiots like you always seem to want to talk about sending a Sacred Heart student to Williams and a Williams soccer player to Sacred Heart. The real world doesn't work like that. Get over the fact that your kid is a better student than soccer player and focus on where they might fit as opposed to where you might be able to shoe horn them in just so you can claim that they are a college soccer player.

                        So why are the 14s and 13s not playing anywhere?

                        Have they checked out? If so where are they going......or did they just want the weekend off?

                        just curious.

                          I was more curious of the 14NPL and 13NPL girls.

                          No worries, they must be busy I guess.

Get over the fact that your kid is a better student than soccer player and focus on where they might fit as opposed to where you might be able to shoe horn them in just so you can claim that they are a college soccer player.
                            The grades my daughter gets will serve her better than being able to kick a ball.......good luck. Check back when they are 30....keep chasing that dream .....or is it yours? you living vicariously through her by any chance? Are you a frustrated athlete who didn't get your break and now your determined she will get what you didn't? and stop evaluating the talent of a 13 year old....one you have never seen. You have issues. Call mommy.

                              Mine actually did get a whole bunch of athletic money. So stick that in your bonnet and smoke it. Have fun bragging about your kid's soccer prowess with the rest of the intellectuals.
