[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Im sorry you must be mistaken my interest or intent with some other parent thinking their kid is going to play for UNC because they have a patch of DA or ECNL. [b] Personally I would rather my kid not play college Div 1 soccer so your whole argument has no meaning. I didnt take her to Arlington DA for a patch. Her ability and their interest in her led her there. [/b] Now that its over its not particularly important to me that she has an ECNL or a GAL patch at all. She will start wherever she goes, that I know. What it leads to in college I could care less.[/quote] Based on these two primary criteria for your stated team/club preference, then either her ability dropped or the interest in her by ASA dropped which is causing the move. Or you don't have a good handle on the situation and are irrationally panicking. If the first part is true and she's now a marginal player, then you're really going to have a hard time breaking in somewhere else. No tryout option right now so I guess you could use the DA patch to vouch for her. If this is not about a college scholarship (which at most would pay 1/4 tuition and no room & board), then why create all of the drama and upheaval? The only difference that is clear is the patch. Everyone is trying to do what is right and avoid regret, but is this about you or her? [/quote] funny how you seem to know my situation and frame of mind. Can I be any clearer, Id prefer she does not play Soccer in college at any level. No interest in your gracious 1/4 tuition scholarship. She was recruited to play there and wanted to go on her own. Now she will go elsewhere not GAL. Why do you seem so bothered by this. All this drama and upheaval you make note of seems to be with yourself. It doesnt exist in my household. She is perfectly fine with her decision as am I. Sorry if you were expecting your starting 11 to return but its not happening. Its not the first time your daughter lost a teammate on her roster and it wont be the last. Seems that is the drama and upheaval that worries you. As for your your assessment of my daughters role and skill set like the rest of your post its not accurate. That is of course if your highly respected scouting assessment sees one of the starting 11 in that way. Dont worry and get all worked up, It will all work out for you and you wont even care once things get underway. For now your concern about a player leaving the team for whatever reason they have seems to be personal for you. Youll get over it [/quote] Nobody cares if you change clubs. You seem disingenuous in your stated reason for doing so. You also seem disingenuous in regards to your players motivation for level of youth soccer chosen compared to ultimate soccer goals. Certainly there is no requirement to play or seek playing in college because you play in ECNL, former DA or GAL. Everyone’s choices are their own. BUT, you can’t claim that the pathway is not your purpose for your youth soccer club/team selection AND then claim that you are switching clubs because your kids team league changed names. If you didn’t care about a pathway to college then why does your team changing to GAL suddenly matter and is a motivating reason for changing? [/quote]
