[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VYS parent here.  We started our season on Sat and same old story.  Good kids, shitty play.  Played strong in the first half, then choked in the second.  I'm on the verge of pulling my kid out, she's starting to hate soccer because the team sucks soo bad.

If a kid hates soccer because the team sucks, then soccer isn't the sport for that kid, and it isn't the responsibility of any club to make sure all the kids teams win all the time so they will stay interested in the sport. They are there for the sport or they are not. It is black & white.[/quote]

Maybe the kid doesn't hate the sport but they do hate playing with their team.[/quote]

Exactly.  Sports teach a lot of life lessons about winning and losing and kids should play because they love the sport BUT, if teammates are not committed. If the coach isn't committed. etc. Then the kid should leave and find a team where he/she fits in.  Also, you don't want you kid to be one of the weakest players on the team nor one of the strongest.  Players need the right environment to develop.  The right answer is NOT...we play for Vienna no matter what.  If you don't want to play on a sh-t team then you must not love the sport.[/quote]

In reading through this forum there seems to be a cultural divide at Vienna. It seems most parents seem more than content to just have a nice environment for their kids to play soccer. A commitment level with these parents seems to be lacking and can run at odds with parents who are looking for a more competitive environment for their kids. They either see their kids as being bored or being held back by what is essentially an expensive town club. [/quote]
