Those FSA money grab teams are pretty depressing. Sal jr can't run an organized tourney if he only had two teams. Mom running forms down to tent by snack bar in her 100k mercedes is a nice touch. Coaching? Hiring a warm body to talk on the phone while the kids toe jam it down the field? Exciting soccer. Great and sturdy car magnets though. High end. A+ stick quality to the car. Yeah, 1 year and done. Moved onto a club that actually teaches the game to ulittles

Tryouts are mainly for the occasional travel kid that has potential or a bench player at another club. Any good players that do want to leave are not attending tryouts hoping to get on a team. Those players reach out to the coach directly and get invited to training sessions for the team they are trying to break in to. This happens constantly through out the year, especially during the winter

Many reasons not to stay for shrewd parents and you have to do what it right for your kid if they are game.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI want to dig into your u-little experience at FSA because we are about to take the plunge in U9 boys after attending their Juniors program. As far as teaching the game, what were you expecting that you were not getting. I know there is an intense focus on “the fundamentals” (foot skills, skill moves, passing, etc.) in juniors so I’m sure that continues, what were you looking for specifically that did not happen? I teach my son about through balls, diagonal runs, defense, field positioning, drawing in defenders, checking shoulder, and how to loose a man marked defender because these aren’t taught in lower ages, but I have an advantage over other parents in this regard because I played soccer as a kid through high school.

FSA ECNL is the best quality in the state. It would be better if there were only one ECNL team in CT, but money ruins everything.
