Rutgers W Soccer Elite 8

“Right - but your kid is the real star. It’s comments like this just perpetuate the bull****. Who are you to say whose better or worse- you are a parent that makes PDA look bad and ruin it for the rest of us at the club that don’t think this way. Please get a grip.“

No, my daughter isn’t a star. She come’s off the bench. But i am realistic in my evaluation of her skills. She has learned a bunch and has great friends. She is having fun and i am enjoying it as well. Unfortunately you think i am the one who decides who is better but I don’t, the coach does. Some parents can’t handle that their kid isn’t starting and it’s the only problem that i see as an issue, bc they become disgruntled.

Some of the most impactful players are super subs. Parents have to stop interfering.

And clubs/coaches have to push back when parents try to interfere. If your kid isn't playing most likely rhey are just on the wrong level team. Accept it for what it is and find the best fit for your player. If they want to work hard at it and improve then encourage it, but it has to come from them not you

Being a sub is playing. Being a successful sub stands out. That isn't learning level of play, that is learning an even more valuable lesson, being part of the team dynamic.

While I agree players should try and stick it out and work hard, at some point those "life lessons " on being part of a team are crushed by the stress and disappointment of rarely playing. We're not talking first off bench subs but the ones that get 5-10 a half if thst. They're on the wrong team.

Not the op

Hahahahahahaha....boosting about more empty awards. I guess when you can't bring home real trophies you seek out any.

Most schools are not members for team sports. This is really for individual sports such as golf, track and field, cross country, diving, swimmming, etc.

Also it seems to help when your AD is on the Board. So PDAish.

I told my kids work hard in practice earn your time.
Then kids miss weeks of practice or just skip practice then immediately start/play majority of the game.
The kid who didn’t earn time and played poorly gets the carrot. The kid who worked hard for weeks & months didn’t get to play.
I wouldn’t mind supersub status but no opportunity is not tenable. That’s when you leave a team.
Life lesson is you need to know when to hold ‘em & know when to fold em. I was encouraging my kid to learn hard work & perseverance pays off but the coach wouldn’t cooperate.

How many elite seniors were drafted?

How many elite seniors were drafted?

One was drafted last season and was traded (so not counted in this season as far as draft) and one more was added to the draft. So...1.

What makes a senior elite?

In 2020-21, Rutgers spent $118.4million to fund its athletics program during the most recent academic year, financial records reveal.

Rutgers’ athletics ledger shows a $73.3 million deficit that was closed by $27.6 million in support from the university’s operating budget, $10.5 million in student fees, a $21.5 million from an internal loan, an $8 million loan from the Big Ten and $4.7 million in direct state or government support. It marks the largest deficit rung up by Rutgers athletics in school history, surpassing a $47 million shortfall in 2013 — the year before the Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten.

Is this soccer only or all sports? How does this compare to let’s say Albany NY State school.
