3) style of play?
4) challenges players (not playing in easy tournaments for wins)?
5) player improvement as measured by...ability to play multiple positions, passing efficiency, speed, endurance?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhat area? Just looking at the top 2 NEP teams (NEFC Central and WUP), they are located more west of Boston. WUP far west so probably not an option for Boston-area residents. The top 2 Maple teams: Valeo has a nice facility in Newton, which is west of Boston but within the 95 loop. Newton United also practices in Newton, but only has one U11 and one U12 team.
Valeo has more than just a facility, which includes both indoor and outdoor fields. They have a very dedicated DOC who enlists a team of dedicated coaches. The training opportunity with Valeo is tremendous. During the summer, team selections can essentially play 4 times per week almost every week as part of their plan. During the season, they practice 3 x per week with games on the weekend. During the winter there are at least 2 practices per week with games on the weekend and an optional Futsal team/league/training.
While I won't claim that they are only club to offer training opportunities (I know that NEFC, Stars, Scorps, and NU do as well) but they are certainly one of them and more than just 'having their own facility'.

The DOC is also the Barca u11 coach. DAP players from Revs and Bolts train with EW in the summer because he is the best in MA. This team has improved a lot in 6 weeks. Let's see where they are after 60 practices and 16 games over the winter.
