[quote=anonimouswon][quote=dcummins]Happy for my kid to move on from ECNL to MLSNext.  The ECNL team was just toxic with too much parent involvement to the point where some players were only on the team because a parent and the coach played soccer in college together.  This parent would recommend B/C players from other clubs to workout with the team and some were brought on.  There was definitely lots of favoritism and double standards.  For example, prior to this season, one kid was injured half the season and the coach moved him to the b team the next season.  The same thing happened this season to one of the favored kids who was injured the 2nd half of the season.  The coach kept him on the ECNL team for next season.  Both boys were about the same skill level, but yet somehow the favored kid is still on the team.  So glad to get my kid out of that environment and move on cause he regressed under this coach.[/quote]

So which ECNL team are you talking about?  If it's a NoVA or MD team, then it's either Maryland United, Arlington, BRYC, VA Union, Loudon, Celtic or Pipeline.  I can understand where you're coming from it's always a good feeling to leave a toxic environment.

My DD was in an environment where the coach preached that attending practice, working hard in practice, showing your focused will get you a start on the weekend game, but that was a bunch of bs.  He would always start certain players.  It's annoying when coaches say they're going to do something at the start of the year and do the exact opposite.  And as a parent you can't really say anything cause you don't know how it will affect your kid.[/quote]
