Why would high school players even be playing a season in the spring? Sounds like if they have combined players into a squad to play some games they are doing more than most clubs in HS Spring season

What are you talking about? Most boys don't make their high school teams, and want to keep playing. The clubs charge high school age players for a full year of soccer, of course they will play a season of games in the spring.

Most boys don’t make their high school teams, Varsity or JV? Since when?

The vast majority of clubs offer spring high school pool trainings not a spring season?

Since suburbs built 3000 student high schools? Where do you live? Our HS had 130+ boys tryout for 36 spots. Mathematically, *most* boys did not make the team.

Our RL team is playing in a spring league and holding regular practices as in fall. I would be very unhappy paying for a full year for them to try to get away with no games and combined spring practices.

Probably a good thing it’s an RL team. Most NL players are playing 2-3 games per week and training every day. Not sure how a club schedule can be built into that.

There are only a few ECNL local clubs but for sure their players make up most of the Varsity and JV teams.

This is OP. Good news that all the boys who wanted to play, including my son, were able to play and got plenty of minutes. My son did not make the varsity team, so happy he was able to get some playing time.

Makes sense, availability for high school boys in spring can be difficult.

At most they have $15,000 in outside costs - league and tournament fees, field rental, player registration, etc. Do you feel like the coach is providing over $80,000 in value?

Spitballing numbers here and this precisely is why USofA is an outright fraud perpetrated to the highest levels of the Ponzi scale.

I was at the Philly soccer convention last January and one of the European presenters told it out loud:

What happens in this country is unacceptable and diametrically opposite of what development stands for and would never be tolerated in their continent. Under any circumstance.

From my immigrant ignorance: is there truly no genuine interest in ending this pay2play thievery and do right by the kids and ultimately by the nation’s representation in the world stage?

I lived in Europe for years and am very interested in how things are done in Europe/South America. I have a player who has been looked at by academies and has potential to progress to the highest level in this country. We obviously have a terrible system here that I hate and there is genuine interest in ending p2p.

But...there is a problem. I have not found a reasonable way to attack p2p without hurting my child's journey...his goal that he is pursing with hard work. My kid won't be a martyr to the cause and this is where these clubs have us by the junk. Do you have a solution to this problem? How about you sacrifice your kid first and become the first outlaw...then we can talk. All of us want to burn this garbage to the ground, but I care more about my kid...don't lecture anyone.

Oh, you’re in your feels talking about getting lectured?

I moved to Europe and my child will end up making money as a professional player. How much? Time and life and absence of injuries will tell. Yours? Stuck here with American grifters masquerading as coaches while you big mad

Even at U13 and U15? What do they do with the kids can't roster in for a game?

Those who aren’t rotating regularly into the roster are also rostered on the second team. So they practice with the first team and play games with the second team.

So they take playing time away from kids on the second team? Does the second team only roster 12 or so players?
