[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a guy just talking about this on SiriusXM FC coach academy show today at 3. I catch it mid way so did nit get the club or coaches names.

So coach/club is out in California. It was a DA club and they did/are doing very well. The guy said the relationship between the coaches, players and parents are totally different vs the big pay to play club.

Real interesting show. Talked about how everything at clubs now is about development and how that burns kids out at 15. Also said the development is pushed down to far to the lower ages. [/quote]

how are they paying his salary and the fees for DA? Fields? Insurance? Just because you have a different philosophy doesn't mean you still don't have pay to play level fees. All of the clubs file publicly available 990s- you can look at them and figure out that most coaches aren't getting rich. Alexandria is probably the only exception in the area  [/quote]

Well they did it. There are no fees for players. Their DA teams were 2nd or 3rd in the country. The coach said it was ridiculous and the high rankings were put too much pressure on the kids. He wanted to de- register the club from got soccer but they would not have been able to play tournaments. It was in an at risk community. Now they are drawing the better players from the big pay to play suburban clubs. Those clubs are pissed off. They do not take many because it is not there mission. [/quote]
