[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But that's my point, isn't it? Why pay $3K+ for playing on a low level team when you can pay three times less and play in the same league?[/quote]
$3K is for the training, coaches and club experience, not for the league.  Do the other teams in ODSL that cost less provide the same quality of coaches, training, and development?  I doubt it.  Most of the kids in the Barca ODSL teams are not elite, never will be, their parents know that, the kids know that, the coaches know that, and they have no aspirations to play behind HS soccer.  AND THATS OK.  Just because they aren't elite doesn't mean they can't get high quality training, because they love to play, and let's face it $3k for a year long kids activity in this area is not a lot of money to many people (start another thread if you want to discuss how much is too much for parents to spend on their kids).  Stop judging.

There are two tiers of Barca players, as I suspect there are in many other clubs.  There are the highly talented and motivated ones who have college and professional aspirations, and for these players there is EDP and beyond.  Then there are the less talented but motivated ones who enjoy the game and may play for their HS.  If teams or players develop past ODSL then they will be moved up.  If not who cares?

Oh yeah, there is one other type of player that is common in most clubs around here.  Those whose parents want to be able to say their kid plays in a top league, even if they never get time in the field or the team loses every game 0-10, or the coaches and training are terrible.[/quote]

So what happens when you have few overflow from that top team...They are still top team quality, but now you have to stick them in ODSL?  You will never grow a club that way.[/quote]
