[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we last left off:

Parent posted scores of DA games showing a poor showing of Washington Spirit DA and asking people to draw conclusions. When attacked the person defended their post as merely stating facts and asking for discussion. Others felt it was simply trolling especially in light of the poor showing the first weekend by both VDA and FCV as well.

Now on to regular bickering. [/quote]

My child just started travel and I'm so glad I have no clue what any of this means.  I hope that I never do.   Ignorance is bliss![/quote]

If you're on the part II then chances are you are interested.  My son started in U9 three years ago, I felt lost among all of the leagues, acronyms, training and developmental pathways and reading through this forum, among other articles, soccer-parent blogs, I do feel knowledgeable about the training DS is receiving as well as the systems of plays, ref calls, positions, team color choice, reasonable amount to pay for extra training & where, and my knowledge about the various uncertain paths a college soccer player can take has really opened my eyes to the level of dedication, on my part not to mention DS's, will be needed for a place to be offered, not to mention available scholarship $.  I'm talking about DA, ECNL, Youth NT, ODP(skip it), so-called pricey US Soccer camps, PRIVATE TRAINING.  You name it, there is a trainer out there who has already set-up website with some kind of elite academy name and a "pay here" button.

I'm not saying additional training is a scam, but knowing that what your really signing up for is additional touches on the ball as oppose to DC being developed and having a chance to be scouted as their brochure/website would promise is very useful.[/quote]
