[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]Again, that you are attributing a tournament result to the training.

Here is the results of their U17

Now I await you moving the goalposts and say the competition was bad. [/quote]

That's very good. YouthSoccerRankings has them rated even higher. (Ratings should always be taken with a grain of salt, but these seem like legitimate good results. Even a 2-1 loss, to LA Galaxy San Diego, isn't bad at all.)

You'll have -- as you have with almost every good team in the area -- the question of whether that's [b]just good talent that was developed[/b] elsewhere or good coaching.

But yes, those are very good results, and in that case, they probably paid less than some of the teams getting similar results.

And the coach's credentials are outstanding.[/quote]

If you are going to play the talent card then and attribute success based on inheriting talent then can't failure be attributed to a lack of talent, at least in a relative sense? Doesn't it stand to reason that a club that is a startup is not going to draw top talent away from top clubs and successful teams in its first year? It is the rare parent who is going to walk away from a good situation for a unproven startup in the first year. Many people who went certainly dipped their toes in the water first but their retention has proven that FCB have satisfied their first class of customers.

Based on tryouts and some of the club gear and known kids I can attest that more "top talent" from bigger clubs are in fact trickling in this spring. There are many on the fence and finding ways to test the waters but sincere interest is growing. [/quote]
