[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its good if you make the regional and national teams.  Its very minor committment level--and there will certainly be conflicts. If you will be annoyed at paying the registration fee and potentially missing stuff it may not be worth it. It becomes most worth it when you move beyond the state--but the committment level also rises at that point too. It's possible to do both ECNL and ODP. but there may be conflicts.. [/quote]

This is accurate.  There are academy scouts at the regional level.

All depends if you have a better plan for your Sunday evenings or not.[/quote]

That's my biggest worry is the conflicts. He works with a trainer plays futsal at a competitive level and ECNL. I'm worried about burning him out. [/quote]

Thanks for the context.  I would say don’t do it overall because you have the training load covered.  This is the situation where you have the project the kid from himself.  I have one like that.

However, there may be a way to get creative.  Tryout.  If he balls out and they want him, act dumb on the training schedule and act like he won’t be able to train but can attend the events.

If he balled out, they may take him and possibly offer a reduced price.  Like a Future player in MLS Next or Discovery player in ECNL.  Worth a try.  All that is lost is $75 bucks and two Sunday evenings in September.

Off topic, what club is he doing futsal with?  I am looking for more futsal training for my kid.
