Is it really for them? Some of you soccer daddys will defend this pro athlete behavior because its actually for YOU. And something else you need to realize is RT and Matchfit are exploiting these kids for their business. They love posting on social media to entice others to join the club.

Does Matchfit have this type of schedule for all teams? I am pretty sure the answer is no so why is that?

Average NBA player runs 2.5 miles in a game.

That seems way high as some don't run at all.

NBA games are 48 minutes and 13+ age for AAU are 32 minutes. Soccer does straight 90 for both and more physical so not comparible as noted prior.

The "if your kid was good enough" tells me alot about you. All I can say is several years back my kid played on a team just like the one being talked about. She was good. So were all of her teammates. The parents were all insane. So was I.... The team didn't stay together as they got older, some girls moved to better clubs and continued to play at a high level and eventually college. Other kids didn't keep up that intensity into the HS years but still played. Other kids eventually quit...my kid was one that quit. She got burned out. I wish I could go back and do things differently so that she would of at least continued to play. The reality is it just wasn't fun anymore. It was a job for her and she was missing out on other important things a young girl should be doing.
Thats my 2 cents. Everyone has their own story but just remember this is not for YOU, it is for them.

thank you. People look at me like i am crazy when i say to them that youth soccer is supposed to be fun. College might be a different story? Unfortunately college may never come bc a lot of the kids burn out. Too much pressure, to constantly train and “be the best.” Lets let them play and enjoy the travel and competition and hopefully the girls they play with.

Their schedule is not a good fit for most teams, but maybe it is for them. Helps when you are winning. Everyone who has been around the game, knows winning sure helps the player, parent, coach, club dynamic.

Any kid can play in college if they want. There are so many teams you have never heard of and are D1- no offense to Staten Island but you can go to Wagner and play D1. Just because you play in college D1 does not make you a star. There are 330 d1 teams that need players and another 200 D3.
Now if you play for Duke or Stanford that’s a different story.

MFA is just toxic all over. Shore and Morris, they have people running the place that don’t care about the kids at all. This is on the boys and girls side.

Taylor put a picture of an Instagram post on his Twitter today, using it as a point about how the attitudes and demands of U12 club soccer are bad for the growth and future of soccer in the US.

Pretty sure it was a MF 09 post. Keep up the good work guys!

Just a reminder of why everyone bashes on MF Shore.
