Yikes. Brutal. |
This is silly. They slaughtered BA’s U14s 10-2. All the other games would be more accurately be described as they “won” or “won handily”. Other than the game they lost. |
Not slaughtered as in a wide point spread. Slaughtered as in out of 10 games, they went 9-0-1 throughout the age groups. You can fancy up the name however you'd like. |
There are levels to this thing. BSC scored 1 goal in five games/age groups. |

The kids playing for free dominate the kids (parents) spending over $10,000 per season?
So what's the $$$$$ getting you? |
Well, our mlsnext team was $2500 this year, less than many other third and fourth teams. We have never paid anywhere close to $10k. |
Wow, $2,500 for yearly fee would indeed be among the lowest for any regular travel club in DMV. Who pays for gear, equipment, all travel expenses (gas, hotel, food, flights etc)? |
I believe the $10K includes all the travel expenses - hotel, gas, airfare, etc. |
It was less than $300 round trip to fly to west coast. group hotel rates are cheap. It certainly wasn't an additional $8k for all of that. |
Justification self therapy hard at work
So you're saying you and your son flew to the West Coast from DMV for a tournament and paid under $150 each round trip? You may be on to something in how to do MLS Next on the cheap. |
You have spent all morning shifting arguments. Abandoning your prior positions by restatement is still abandoning your prior positions. Get some critical thinking skills into your life please. |
How's this for critical thinking. Philly Union completely dominated the two biggest MLS Next Affiliate clubs from the DMV. They showed they are on a completely different higher level. It is free for parents whos kids are at Philly Union. To wear the MLS Next badge on their shoulder, honest parents at affiliate clubs state they are spending around $10K annually in expenditures. So, what is the true value for spending that much money? |
Why do u care so much how other parents spend their money? Good for them, they have the money to spend. If it doesn’t make sense financially for you, then good for u to know that. |
The question you should be asking and the point to place your focus should be, why are we all forced to pay this much into a system that fails in general to develop and produce high quality players. How can it make "financial sense" to anyone? |
That’s fair. Also, Philly Union is on a different level than any clubs around here. Whether you pay or don’t pay, you’re not getting the same level. DC United had a 14 year head start on Union and is far behind them in terms of first team performance, homegrown development, academy performance, etc. |
