[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never have been a fan of the "academy style". I think "academy style" is marketing for small clubs that want to have multiple teams without losing your 'B' players. They know exactly who they plan on playing on A and B on day 1. However, they string the B families along by giving them hope of making the 'A' team at some point. Let me tell you, there maybe 1 kid from the 'B' team that shifts to 'A' because someone is sick or someone on 'A' is struggling. Concept sounds good but it sucks to be on 'B' end. Don't expect much movement.[/quote]

Ummm...and you think it is better to string along 5 lower teams vs one B team?  They don’t even know the kids names on the 6th team of a big club.  Our big club had coaches coaching multiple teams and our B team was without a coach in the Finals of three tournaments because he chose to cia h his favored team instead.  This problem is not unique to small clubs.[/quote]

Big club, little club, whatever...Either way there is really something very wrong with youth soccer development in this country...[/quote]
