[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Story of many at mid to small sized clubs. There has been such a push to market MLSNext/ECNL as the only place to be or bust. I really like clubs that like to assist those that wouldn't otherwise play travel but it feels like their commitment levels do drop as they get older. Unfortunately it's not just not having skin in the game but it's also family dynamics, transportation, work/money, focus on school/grades, other activities. I think clubs need to try to find a balance and speak more about expectations prior to making offers or taking on players. Find a way to get more commitment out of every player in the roster.[/quote] There is a push for ECNL/MLSNext (and GA) because that's the highest level of play and it's where colleges recruit. When DD was playing, her coach encouraged kids to try out for ECNL at U13. It shouldn't be surprising that those who stay behind eventually lose interest. [/quote]
