You hate them so much because:Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
1) you are a coach and you lose players to them and your wallet gets smaller?
Or
2) you are a parent living through your daughter’s dreams and she can’t get into the team because of your DNA? -
PDA the place where parents and parents stab each other in the back for a couple minutes of playing time..Comment

Can attest to that. Some of these parents are actively track the other players and rat them or their parents out if they break any rule.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Basically all of NJ soccer sucks. It’s evident when our local clubs and “academies” travel to other states and get beat by other teams. We are all suckersComment

Just what TS needs another topic about why you should hate PDA. This is an anonymous forum so all you anonymous parents re free to say whatever you want. Remember to speak the truth. What a joke! Just another place to say how much you hate a club, the parents, the players. So go ahead anonymous parents tell your truth. Hurry the season is just about over and a new cycle begins this fall.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Someone has a real hard on for PDA. Either you are competing in business or they cut/demoted your child. There are a lot of options to play at besides PDA and many people who they want turn them down, so it is pretty strange to focus so much on one club.
All work and no play make Homer something something.Comment

Nah, I put that on MF Shore and that alcoholic Ryan Tetro. It never seizes to amaze me that parents turn a blind eye to the behavior of a coach just so they can brag about winning the Burger King Summer Classic and brag about gotsoccer rankings, and yet, take thier kids to Mick Smith from PDA to train. Look what happened to the 09 goalie at MF Shore. Tetro has already got a new replacement for her, and its just a matter of time till her parents are on here bashing MF Shore. Say what you want about PDA, untill another club can produce so many D1 scholarships and constantly show up in the top 10 of Soccerwires "best female clubs in the US" then all the bashing you do is for nothing. Just because MF Shore has a #1 09 team doesn't make them the best club in NJ. PDA has a very long and SUCCESSFUL history with their girls program. Untill someone can match that success, there isn't much to criticize.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Apparently there is alot to criticize about PDA given that half the threads on this forum are about the business antics of PDA.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Yes we hate them. The training sucks, the coaches can’t be trusted and the parents are tools. There I said it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Success
There is quite a bit to criticize and being the top of the pyramid so to speak and leading the way in the P2P destruction of youth sports is certainly a good reason for criticism.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Using your success=no criticism means Wells Fargo can't be criticized because they successfully opened all those accounts for people.
Soccer landscape is changing fast and would be surprised if PDA can replicate the success it has had early on without the competition they face now with clubs that actually train players not just recruit and "coach".
If PDA wants to stay at the top they better start having actual practices instead of just scrimmages and hope the lazy coaches get motivated somehow.
Might also be a good idea for the coaches who have multiple teams to not have the practices back to back. At PDA if your teams coach has another team the early practice is literally over as soon as the clock strikes/next practice is scheduled to start. No extra work possible before a big game/tournament or extended instruction if working on something specific. Although it is kinda easy to just have the scrimmage end and then kick the girls to the parking lot/next team in line step on up.Comment

D1 Scholarships. You know the details of these? Success at developing them or providing a vehicle for them to be seen? The assumptions that people make based on limited data are interestingOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
