Anyone had a child attend these before? I know parents can't watch which I think is a good idea. Wondering if anyone has info on what the sessions are like other than what is posted on the USSoccer.com website? My U11 is going. 2002 player that is on the young end of that year. She's excited but nervous..

She will be fine. First they go through drills and then move on to scrimmages.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -

My daughters also been invited U13 (1999-200) going on U14 and i was wondering what to expectComment

I assume that only the top clubs get players invited? Stars, NEFC, Scorps... If your daughter is a great player but plays on a lesser known club where the team is not as successful how do you get her invited? Its a shame that these type of things are not more well known, almost secret society like.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Come to think of it, how many players are invited per age group? Probably not more than only a few players from each top team from each club. Is there really that much of a difference between those few players and the next few players on the team? I say no. Which means that these clubs/coaches play favorites when selecting/sending these few players. Beware if you're not one of those, this will be telling for your daughters future with that team/club!!!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

OP here. Not just top level clubs. US soccer reached out to local area towns and asked youth soccer orgs for some names as well. Seems they are trying to cast a wider net and not just go for the clubs which is good. That said, I expect a lot of the kids recommended from towns also play club.Comment

Lies...I can't believe that you just posted that. Local towns??? pleaseOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

OP again. You don't know me and have no reason to call me a liar. I saw the email from US soccer that went to our local soccer org and there are some from our area going because of that. Believe it or not it seems they are actually trying to include more kids since not everyone can afford club.Comment

Will this happen to today or be changed due to weather?Comment

They have always reached out to all clubs as well although most kids never benefit as clubs ignore it in fear of losing a top player hence reduction a in cash flow.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

That may be true, but I think what primarily accounts for what you are seeing (or rather not seeing!) is that despite what some top-level team coaches like to feed the parents, when they are back home away from them, they know what it means when the letter includes this directive:Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
"...I know that every club has their “best” player. I am only looking for the “elite” players with NATIONAL POOL potential in these age groups. Please send me your recommended players for the birth years 1999-2002 by May 1st..."Comment
