[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole discussion cracks me up. Alexandria seems like the snake oil salespeople of youth soccer. They’ve got this magical possession system that is the best for $2400. But wait, there’s this magical futsal ID pill for $895. And yes, they are all about the community (unless you’re a tennis player or you’re critical of the club). Oh, you want proof. Sure, our teams have average performance across both genders and nearly every age group. BUT we’ve developed all these kids who are no longer at the club. (I suspect those kids got smart and ran away as fast as they could.)

If a club is going to peddle all this dung, at least provide some tangible proof. They are doing a disservice to parents by not being honest.[/quote]

I'm not an Alexandria parent.  I have seen a couple of boys' age group futsal teams play, and many of the Alexandria boys close to my son's age playing in pick-up games and tournaments - and have seen kids who came from Alexandria move to other teams.  That is an admittedly limited set of interactions with only a portion of the club, but - within that experience - I would say that the kids and teams I have seen are all well above average performers who/which would be competitive against much larger clubs, and the players have a high degree of technical ability.

I haven't checked the results of all their teams in all leagues - but are they really "average in nearly every age group"?  I wuld be surprised if that were the case.[/quote]
