It really makes one wonder if changes need to be made to the local leadership of the ECNL clubs.

Okay we are referencing the weather problems in Dallas right? So the previous poster referencing that ECNL promised "less snafus" and apparently has failed and due to that you want change of leadership? The referee thing I get, but the frickin weather???? Bunch of idiots!

It's a burden, but bearable.

Yes. Change the local leadership because it snowed in Texas! It makes perfect sense.

They may be spending $10K, but isn't a bit much to call them idiots?

I was not calling the ECNL members idiots, the ones wanting to tear them down...really? So now the ECNL can control "acts of God?" And changing local leadership is going to help with the weather? Give me a break!

Wow! Thusc has had a lot of good teams I didn't know Tom had to cut so many kids to keep the quality up. The kids got over getting cut but you haven't.

Leave it alone already. The clubs have already gotten a raging earful from upset parents over the two snafus.

Any more snafus and heads will roll I can assure you. This ain't the little leagues ladies and gentlemen. We have extremely high expectations and anything less than excellence is not acceptable. Leadership has been made crystal clear on this point.

Hotel lobby kick arounds? That's a great idea! Were college coaches present to observe?

You know I get your point, Forgiveness is important to keep in mind, everyone is human, mistakes and acts of god occur, but we were told that this was the best of the best. The best of the best should have less SNAFUS. People pay to be with the best because they will make less mistakes.

unfortunately when you hang you sign out front saying you are "the best" it often means you will pay a higher price for your "mistakes".

You fell from the higher pedestal you put yourself on.

Both ECNL local and national claim to be the best of the best. The set their own bar. IT IS GOOD AND ADMIRABLE THAT THYE SET IT HIGH, but falling from high is always a bigger fall.

The expectation of the best of the best is they don't make mistakes, they have ways of working around weather, etc�

Sorry if you want to wear the hat of being the best, you can't claim to "just be human" when things get screwed up.

Poor Angry ECNL Poster has no defense for this. He's at home steaming at the logic.
