RDS NY Red Bulls TRYOUT

[Unregistered]

Across 3 teams! NJ south NJ north and NY

Red Bulls have 6 academy teams numbnuts - U12 13, 14, 15, 16/17 and 18/19. So on average each RB DA team has maybe 3 players from RDS, and it's probably heavily skewed to the younger ages where many won't make the cut over time.

Why just female fans? We cant teach our sons to support a club that is supportive of the women's game?

lol. watching girls soccer is painful. good luck with that. maybe someday it will be like the wnba.

Female fans for the first team, dummy. Don't you realize that females watch men's pro soccer?

But they aren't supportive of girls. Just having a few token girls teams isn't being supportive of the women's game. Treating them equally would be. USSF doesn't even treat the WNT the same as the men's.

What are the clubs associated with pro teams?

red bulls
nycfc
nysc
maybe barca or valencia

of all of those - do any do anything for girls soccer or the women's game that would influence you to support their first team?

Barca NY at least fields girls teams. In terms of their support for the women's game, Barcelona does have a great team playing in the spanish professional league but nothing to do with women's soccer in the USA.

International clubs are getting more involved on the female side, but the soccer fan base is far more devoted to the game there than here. They pay more too - which is why some of our female players play there, not here for Starbuck's wages. It's still pretty limited overall however. Soccer is a mens' sport across the globe; in the US it's a path for girls to go to college. The WNBA can't even get anywhere and basketball is an infinitely more popular sport.

FCB has a really good Girls Pro team playing in the 1st division in Spain.

lol. come to me when they send on a fully funded tournament abroad like they apparently did for some of their boys. same as nycfc. same as red bulls.

not saying they wont teach the girls some soccer but those nycfc and rb and barca girls will always have to watch the boys get better.

What do you think of Red bulls RDS training programs? Besides the training element, does it really expose a kid to potential academy tryout down the road?

If you read more than one page you'd know the answer. Sure it does, but the odds are very low. Go for the training, that's it. It is quite good. So are their summer camps. But go in hoping your kid will get discovered.

We did RDS Regional team one year. Its fantastic - high level of kids, great coaches, very professional and zero club politics that mark the other DA clubs. Its a legitimate pathway to their academy - same as u11 and u10 teams at nonMLS Da clubs are pathways to their older academy teams -- many, even most kids get cut, but a real minority do advance to teh older academy. Its worth doing if you can get accepted.
