Different RTC training amount

[Unregistered]

My DD is in the vancouver RTC for the second year in a row. Both the boys and girls practice on Friday nights. There are disadvantages to Friday night training though. Tired legs for the Saturday morning games happens each week.

I still think vancouver has picked the best possible day though.

Vancouver RTC killed everyone at the tourney last year so they must be doing something right.
Money well spent here

Yep, winning a 10th tier tourney against other bootballers surely must say you're doing something right.

Would any major academy in the world do a training on Sunday night after weekend (sometimes twice) games?

It is a serious question.

Hell, some of the jackass Westside coaches had their boys' doing endurance training in RTC last year (again with a weekend of games).

I'm glad folks in Vancouver like the value they are getting from it, but RTC is a terrible model as currently constructed.

It's too bad the local ECNL teams couldn't learn some technique to help them win. Hell, some technique to learn how to develop players would be nice. Same crummy coaches, same crummy techniques, same crummy development, but the price is a lot higher. So there is that.

Since you went there and dragged ECNL into it (surprise surprise) all I can say is I would rather have my kid win Surf Cup (at any level) than Beaverton Cup or the RTC "tournament."

So you are having them guest on an out of state team?

Why do the Portland North girls group get more training hours than everyone else? Happened last year too. And puts everyone else at a real disadvantage.

Your RTC group has advantages PDX North doesn't have also.

Where is your RTC located? Close to your home or one hour plus drive?
Most of your group from the same club? Used to playing together?
How many in your RTC group? What is the kid to coach ratio? Your coach will get a good look at your child being from a group of 15 verses a group of 40 from several different clubs that do not mix well forcing passes to their club mate instead of someone they don't know.
How many in your group really have a chance at the 25 kids chosen and accepting the spot for state team and likely to travel all the way for practices?

Now look at PDX North. This is three locations put together for the 2003 group, from several different clubs, meaning you are less likely to make all practices. You have no idea what your competition is. Look how many kids were chosen and what is the coach ratio? Most of the kids that will accept the state team offer will be from the PDX group, because there is a bigger pool to choose from and they will be more likely to make practices.

You need to look at the whole picture, not just one aspect. Life is never fair or equal so learn to deal with it.

CU's 01's won Surf this year. Not surprised you missed it - you were probably busy polishing your DD's Beaverton cup medal.

Huge difference, CU dad.

Totally fine with CU winning Surf white. Guarantees they'll be back in a higher bracket next year. Which is more than the Beaverton cup champs can say.

No kidding. About equivalent of the Beaverton Cup. So funny when the dad's get on here to post about the accomplishments of their daughters. Especially when those accomplishments are pathetic. Good job CU dad. Gee, 2001, that makes her a 2018 or 2019, those girls are getting offers right now. Please list the offers your dd has so far.

Keep trying dad. We know you live through your daughter. Surf Cup White eh? I hope you do know how pathetic that you bragging about that is. ECNL teams would hide their eyes bragging about a White division win.

You're right. Better she should have lost in the finals at Beaverton. Much more respectable.

So, she would have lost at Beaverton Cup but won Surf Cut White? Wow, shows how bad Surf Cup is. Or how much better Beaverton Cup is.
