[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A. Ummm no...It's not actually that simple.

B.  Yes.

C.  I stand by advocating that the super expensive big events would serve the customers best by prioritizing recruiting over setting things up for some faux "national championship" for affluent teenage soccer talent once the player are past u16.[/quote]

So your kid is option C. Very surprising

Regardless.

1. It isn’t ECNL’s fault if a sub is uncommitted. Lots of players are uncommitted. Do you seriously think coaches are going to watch committed players? 
2. Your coach is free to roster based on the needs of the team and players. Knowing that kids are still uncommitted a good coach who cares about their players will make sure that uncommitted players will get the exposure they need. Other teams are often in the same situation. “National Championships” don’t bring players in as much as long lists of commitments on the website.

If your coach is going all in to win a National Championship and sits your kid that really is between you and the coach. There are 4-5 “local” ECNL teams in the area, surely your player could have been a starter on one of them. [/quote]

Ok ..we have established that you are making money from this nonsense. ..... "a good coach who cares about their players will make sure that uncommitted players will get the exposure they need".

That or you are on the greatest team with the greatest players and the greatest coach and everyone else can piss off because life is just perfect for you.[/quote]

You’ve established nothing. I’m just another parent guiding their kid through the same process that you are. I have offered several reasons why your kid will be fine and instead of accepting your situation you’d rather be stubborn and angry.

Your kid isn’t a starter, that doesn’t mean your kid isn’t talented, but it does mean that you have ALWAYS had a uphill battle. Regardless of the league patch college coaches don’t generally prioritize kids who are not even the best players on their club team. No matter what your club coach sold you about the recruiting prospects if your kid is not a starter YOUR kid needs to double the effort and in spite of that nothing is still guaranteed.

If your kid is in fact a rising senior you really need to go forward with a better attitude and accept the real situation she is in. The showcase is what it is now. The format does not need to affect your players playing time but she likely has been a sub for some time now. You can’t complain about it now.

Talk to your coach about her potential usage and what the plan will be for her. [/quote]

Uninformed blow hard.    Is you coach bringing her committed players to this event or is it fine for them to skip the travel?[/quote]

Buddy I don't know what your coach is going to do, that is for you to ask.

All I can say is that you have known for a while that your kid is either not a starter on this team or is new to this team and in a Covid year I have some sympathy for your kid and others who are uncommitted under the worst of circumstances. But regardless of all of that, your coach will either do what is right for all the players or not. If not, one would hope that you tell the world who the coach was who sat uncommitted players in favor of committed players in a showcase.

But, this is not ECNL's fault. Your kid and you have had four years to become or find a place to be a impact player. Did you plan on Covid? No, but you have known for some time now who and what your player is and you can't cry about it now. Talk to your coach or shut up. [/quote]
