Advertising by the coach of the 2015 Powerhouse A1 boys.

Anybody have any thoughts on this training, I heard very good things about BSC's Ekkono, so am curious if this is actually good training - for a younger girl.

I will say that the Ekkono method has been pretty successful at BSC. It is still growing and becoming the staple philosophy through out the club. The club has completely embraced it now and required at training including the younger girls.

That's what I have heard/seen too, but I was curious about the Martin Clinic

I can speak for the last years 2011, 2010, and 2009. They were not all at the same fields. There was no rhyme or reason for the groupings. Literally the worst kids on some of the teams, who didnt even get an offer for this year, were moved to first team scrimmage based on one move. The girls working their tails off had no one watching. And the wrong coaches for the first night were sent to the wrong teams. It was a mess. It was very different from, say, PPA. That was all scrimmages and the coaches had clipboards and ran up and down noting every play. It was super organized. The players had eyes on them at all times.

I think is consistent from the large clubs. They are looking to fill around the edges and really only have a few slots left except for the expansion jump to U13. This is not exclusive to BSC. The smaller clubs have a much smaller turnout and can pay more attention. Ironically, that is why it is actually smart for parents to start at smaller clubs and develop into someone that BSC invites in before tryouts.

I can agree with you on that. I saw the 2015's as well last year and it was well run, organized, coaches on every field and rotating so everyone got looked at. With over 60 players trying out for 75 minutes, it left each coach just over a minute per player if you broke it down. Pretty hard to get a good look.

2015's? You obviously was not there. There was a coach at every field sometimes 2 coaches. Coaches had clipboards, rosters and they rotated fields and players moved up and down the tiered fields. Lots of kids and difficult to stand out, but to say there was not a coach on the field is absolutely not true.
