I don't know if it's true or not, but what's wrong with recruiting from within the club? There are clearly some talented players on the bridge teams, and the travel teams who need personnel would welcome them if they want to make the change. And, yes, ECNL is a higher cost, but it also provides visibility not available to the bridge teams and the opportunity to play with some good kids. I don't understand how/why this is characterized as "stealing" and seen as a bad thing. It wouldn't be droves of kids...just the handful who might be interested in playing in college who care about the visibility and training offered through the ECNL program. Likewise, there may be ECNL kids who decide that college soccer is not their goal who might want to move to the bridge teams. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of cooperation/communication between the two programs, but maybe there should be?

OK as far as they don’t bring the parent coaches and their rustic training methods. Gosh this is ECNL level, families paying for “elite” coaching.

True. TD still has a lot to learn with planning training sessions and how to effectively coach on game days.

The academy has parent coaches without licenses so what would be the difference?

My favorite parent coach drill is the “defend to the death”. This is where the defenders are given wooden sticks to hit offensive players so they don’t score. The catch is that offensive players are given knives to defend themselves and to use to score. Really proven coaching drill

What ages? There are no parent coaches, assistant or otherwise, for the u15-u18 ECNL teams.

for girls- there is a parent at u13 and u14. I assume they will move up with their kids.

Sure, there are licensed volunteer coaches, who are parents, who are coaching Bridge teams. Happens all over the place.
Sure, there are former D1 and professional players with kids coaching academy teams at the younger ages--not uncommon in this or any other area.
