[quote=Anonymous]OP- that's disgusting and I 100% believe it.

I have not committed to anything for next year for my rising future U16 (current 14-year old 8th grader) or my rising U13 boys. They are on a first team now in a good league.

I have been disgusted by youth soccer since the oldest started travel at U9.  Totally disgusted by what became of a sport I used to love.

My kids and I are playing a ton of soccer now.  They are training on their own. They love their current coaches and are doing zoom meetings.  Unfortunately, this club is too far away and we were looking to transition next year--but frankly there is no other club we like or staff we respect.

For now, with no guarantee of soccer, my husband and I that played college soccer will train our own kids.  Once groups of players are allowed to meet together and compete we will reassess the situation.

Your description of private tryouts out kid's homes or fields is disturbing.

I also think the 'no tryout' thing and nothing based on actual MERIT is a huge disservice to youth soccer.  It's a reason kids that progress rapidly and do not advance leave the sport entirely.[/quote]
