stop taking all of this so personally. your posts make it seem you are making a case for mediocrity to justify your narrative. on paper is a term all are familiar with and on paper there are many other kids who have stats that make them seem likely to be successful later on in their athletic career should they choose too. sorry your kids stats don't get her name out like others but such is life. as you note, when the future comes to pass you can revisit your posts (you seem likely to harp on such things years after the fact) and gloat as needed.

Actually my kid is just fine. Yet again, a parent takes a comment and assumes it some sort of projection. Parents have EXACTLY the youth soccer industry they deserve. Its a reflection on posts like yours.

you are expecting Clubs to NOT do what makes them money. Wont happen. The only way to effect change is to be honest and have your kids play where they are getting the right emotional, physical, and mental "return" from your investment. If they are getting that then its money well spent.

Coaches tend to want to work with good players. Good players also tend to work hard and accept coaching. Thats how they become good. There is usually a reason kids are where they are on the scale and most often, it starts with the kid. Its just easier for parents to blame someone else.

You keep blaming parents when the quality of coaching is ****

just dumb on so many levels. parents seem to think that every kid should reach the same level at a club because they pay the same amount. They also think that a kid being selected for YNTs at a young age makes that player great.

Whatever that player is getting out of the game, i sure the biggest input is what SHE puts in. Without that the rest is pointless. Parents should really watch THEIR OWN kids and ask the hard questions

1. Does she enjoy it ?
2. Is she working hard ?
3. Does she belong at this level ? Dont measure that vs the lowest level player on the team, but vs the best.

I think that at least half the kids i see in the ECNL and GDA would be better served not playing at that level. If Parents where honest we would have far fewer issues

If there were fewer leagues and clubs thos players would never be accepted onto higher level teams.

keep smoking DA Jule

has nothing to do with GDA or ECNL. if players work hard they can succeed out of either one. Keep looking at the letters as opposed to your kid.

its @!$% because the parents accept it and keep paying. the current system is a perfect reflection on the majority of parents attitudes. Keep paying for the right to blame someone else.

maybe i read you wrong. There is a contradiction in what you may be saying. High level is, by definition, rare. Girls soccer in this area is all about high volume. so one of two things must be ttrue

1. its actually not high level
2. we happen to be in a rare sport where the majority can be high level.

ill go for number one

there is nothing wrong with NOT making a high level team if it truly is that. What is laughable is parents willingness to accept the term elite because their kid makes it without really looking at the actual standard.

Wake up. so many are being taken for a ride

Actually, Bella Sember is a better midfielder than Jilly Shimkin, for many reasons....

I'm sure she's "fine" aka mediocre. I'm sure she has other qualities that make her special.

clubs would make more money if they could demosntrate that they helped improve other players who aren't identifed by you as "good."

there are players simply not treated as well as the ordained "special" a/k/a your "good" player despite workinmg their butts off and simply aren't given the same opportunity as your "good" player. Hard work should be rewarded by all.

They should not put players in starting line and give substantial playing time when they miss practice, etc.

yeah cause these gda and ecnl clubs reward hard work by the non-entitled players with sporadic and minimal pt. its a joke.
