[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest US soccer culture problem is that youth soccer exists to create economic success for private clubs.  We are traveling all over because winning bigger and bigger things helps build the club profile.  They don't care about the kids at all.  Why do you think you have to respond within 48 hours to your offer letter to join the team?  For the kids benefit?  Or to lock down customers?

We are all paying to be used...they have us by the junk and they know it.  How else can your kid make it to the top?  Staying within the cheap, local leagues?  Good luck bub.

Soccer isn't in the streets...its on "elite" teams who are exploiting adults who make it about them.  All I can do is use those clubs as much as they are using me...and keep my eyes wide open.

I’m a newbie and I realized after the fact that you don’t need to respond 48 hours later. I made that mistake and never again. If you have a kid that’s a good player you can try out for anyone at any time. Or if you don’t….there are plenty of teams looking to fill out their rosters as the season wears on.

I agree with the other stuff you are saying though [/quote]
