Most kids will only play in half the games so not as many weekends in the vans as some others.

Hey dipsh!t- 75-80% of the games will be a waste the other 4 or 5 will be good, but you should be able to schedule a home and home with those 2 clubs over the summer or throughout the year. Training against/with the 04's for the 05 players a couple times a week will give the same result or better at training and every Saturday will not be wasted on the road- time you could be doing more personal 1 on 1 training. I realize what I said so obviously I need to spell it out in more detail for you to get it. Anything else you need so you understand other than u have a hard on to say your son wears the patch?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Adidas- and with the money saved going to Seattle every weekend I will pay for additional individual training that will be far more valuable than anything this team will offer if we are purely talking about money. And you do know other DA teams are sponsored and subsidized by companies like Nike right?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not true, at 11v11 you have to roster atleast 16 (18 is the number offered) and I would guess all 18 get rosters each week to play in the game. Once those players are rostered for that game there needs to be playing time distributed evenly across that group. Some 8 hour rides might be for 20-30 minutes of playing time each, and if your kid is not playing atleast that much does that not contradict the advantages that you so defiantly claim to have??Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Previously, ADF. Dad is rich, and reportedly paid for Timbers U12 trip to Generation Adidas tournament in Texas. Son was on team, and appears to be the Draco Malfoy of local youth soccer.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

Training will be on part with other DA, but not as good as OYSA premier level teams. The Timbers DA coach was not good enough to stay at ADF, so yeahComment

Interesting, I have never heard the name and I feel like I've been in the circuit long enough to know most of these upper echelon kids. If what every one is saying is true about paying his sons way, that is going to be a hard come down if he doesn't pan out talent wise in a year or two.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Can everyone just stop with the whole Billips thing already? Maybe his son is a smart player who hasn't developed yet. Maybe the coaches see something in him that you don't. That's why they call the shots and not you. Alternatively, maybe his dad did pay his way in. Money makes things happen sometimes and it's the way of the world. You aren't going to change it by getting on some anonymous forum to complain. Spend your time making money and not here. Maybe then you won't complain so much about someone you know nothing about. It makes you look jealous and tactless. It's shameful to see adults shredding a 12 year old, without having a clue as to what's really going on. Worry about your own child and you let him worry about his. The universe will sort it out in the long run.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

When your dad buys your way onto a team that you are not capable of making otherwise and in addition pays the coaches salary who is making roster decisions you open yourself up for questions. Nobody is bullying anyone, they are merely pointing out the obvious. You need to redirect your vigor and blame to his meddling father and the shyster in the Timbers organization who agreed to compromise their integrity for a buck not us. Truth hurts sometimes and in this instance Ben did it to his son himself....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
