Which would you choose?

[Guest]

PDA blue with a little playing time or PDA white with lots of playing time? If you could provide reasoning for your conclusion it would be helpful. Thank you.

Neither. The white team doesn’t have any good coaches nor are they treated the same. They are a true B arguably now C after South without exposure to blue. It’s like a different club. White plays younger blue teams in scrimmages and they are overall treated differently. Also now that all three in same division it’s even worse for White. I would take south over white if you had to be at PDA. But really it’s not worth PDA unless you are starter on blue, no one has ever learned to play soccer sitting on a blue bench.

Look for other clubs.

Same BS pretty much at other clubs

Make sure the kid is playing. Priority number 1.

All comes down to coaching. Who fits your kid best. Sounds crazy but some of the blue coaches are extremely underwhelming and not worth your time unless you want the magnet on your car only.

Do you have to pay extra for the magnet or is it included?

This post is pretty spot on. I would say If you’re at least playing 50% with blue I would stay with them. Anything less and you’d be better off leaving the club and going to STA , MF or CSA. But don’t waste your money with White. You’re basically treated like the ugly step child.

I would choose White with more play time for sure. They struggle at younger ages because they are formed after Blue. They get much better at the older ages as they bring in more talent. It's better then any GA clubs especially considering the travel.

Be careful what you read here... There are a few angry parents mad that white is ECNL and there kids clubs are GA/e64. White is a great spot to be if you can't crack a starting spot with blue.

I don’t see it. The older team records appear to be as poor as the younger groups. Maybe I’m wrong.

Me neither. Records show otherwise. But if you like it and your kid is happy carry on.

You’re not wrong. The older teams are just as bad. In a lot of ways it’s worse because they are playing top ECNL teams they have no business playing. I believe between PDA south and PDA white they only had one team that went to the playoffs last year. Stick with blue if you can get time. Otherwise head for the hills.

And it will be worse for them this year as they’re in the North Atlantic.
