How old is your child? Girl or Boy? Great coaches great fields but still being run like a "Ludlow town club" there is politics. If your kid is from Ludlow then great but there is a lot of it's not how good a player is but where there from and who there parents are. You can expect your kid to be put on a b or c team if there new. Not how premier clubs should be run. If you go to a game you can bet the players on the bench are the ones not from Ludlow. I would look at all 3 clubs and see which one fits your kid better..

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere are parts of your rant that are partially correct. There are certain teams, not all, that have a heavy political component to it. Those are the teams you want to stay away from. Most of the teams are run perfectly fine, without much of the political nonsense. Assuming the OP is truly looking at Western, which we all know isn’t true and is likely a coach or an admin from the team, my advice is just talk with parents who are already involved with various clubs. We have interacted with enough clubs and enough teams to know which age group on which club to stay away from.

The Portuguese are passionate people that love the game. Unfortunately, they often seem to bring a level of passion that is more suited to the adult game to youth games. I’m not saying they are bad people, but they just scream at refs and kids way to much.

Keep in mind....WUP doesn't always put the kids first!!! They are more concerned about the Pioneers team and the Stadium. 100% True, see it first hand as a parent
