[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BARCA has been full of crap since day one.  We left over the winter after 1.5 years.  Don't believe the hype the folks here toss out.

Communication is horrible, they keep tossing out the word family, but yet there is not interaction between the coach and parent.  They aren't competitive (not because of coaching) due to the player pool, lots of kids left over from Evergreen which was a crap club.  What you have a is group of adults who love the idea of their kid playing for Barca, the same badge worn by Messi.

If you took their coaches and fed them a player pool that you would find with one of the bigger clubs, then you have something.  Until then, you have a good program with players that cannot execute.      [/quote]

You have said nothing different than what has been said before from the "Pro Barca" posters.

Everyone has acknowledged shallow talent pool but excellent training.

The poor communication aspect is more a personal thing and many clubs suffer from similar complaints.

The problem with parents complaining about "communication" is they tend to never be very specific. For some people it is regarding practice schedules, with other parents it is in regards to payer performance, and still others it could just be a coach who is chatty with the parents. These things are never really explained in the complaint.

With Barca, what I suspect is rather off-putting for parents regarding communication is that all communication is centralized. There is no electronic direct line to and from a coach. Team related messages all come from the same email address and SportsEngine. If you want to talk with a coach you have to email the same address to set something up or just catch the coach between practices if possible.

Schedules for the internal games can be emailed late as well as random friendlies with other clubs.

However, Barca does communicate practice schedules much earlier than almost any other club I have had a kid with.

Barca does provide 2 detailed player evaluations per year.

Barca does provide 1 to 2 team oriented informational meetings per year.

Barca does NOT provide easy, direct access to coaches. My guess is, the lack of direct access bothers people who are accustomed dealing directly with their kids coaches frequently. I can see how this would bother some parents and I can see how others would see it as a refreshing change.
