Wishful thinking there!. The disparity between the Red, White and Blue teams will always be there. As one parent at the meeting said: They are lying to our faces! 
Our White and Blue teams are not bringing them stardom is the Red teams (the most affluent teams). All the Red teams HATE PEP training, why? Because the club is depriving them of one quality practice with their own coach and mixing them with the Blue and White teams to "made all the teams feel equal"

There is also no moving /switching between the teams. Red teams literally try to recruit new players from the outside before the even take a look at the White and Blue teams. When do you EVER see them at the fields looking for talent? Right, never!

Lies, lies, lies!

And to the previous poster... You know the Club has about 1,000 kids on Scholarships. Tax payers money from all of us!

This is nearly all wrong/incorrect. Red teams don't like PEP for various reasons, most of which is that it's not *fun*, i.e. running around in circles in a 6v6 scrimmage while Pepe yells, "Good job, big man!" at you. At PEP they get beaten (sometimes) by white and blue players, which they don't like, and actually get correction, which they REALLY don't like because they are unaccustomed to anything other than praise.

I've seen lots of kids move from one level to another--in both directions.

And there are nowhere 1,000 kids on scholarship.

You had to have been trying to get all of that wrong. [/quote]

Sorry to correct you but...

Take a look at November's Newsletter:

"Dear LMVSC families, 
 
I hope everyone is doing well and had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! 
 
As many are aware, LMVSC provides scholarship funding/Financial Aid to over 1,000 members to participate in our Soccer and Basketball Programs.  Unlike many Clubs, LMVSC does not have a deadline or cap on Financial Aid.  With that, we have created a #GivingTuesday Campaign to raise additional funds specifically to help ensure we continue to provide ongoing support to our members who need assistance.  Please see the link below regarding LMVSC #GivingTuesday Campaign in order to help our scholarship players in our club."

NO cap or deadline either. Most Clubs have caps AND deadlines.

Also, We are talking about two different age groups. My kid is not in any of coach Pepe's teams. But, it seems like you got your own issues there....I do know that coach Pepe doesn't even bring his teams to PEP. 
Again, parents in Red teams are very vocal that they do not like PEP, maybe they're just too good to be mixed with White and Blue teams.

Fair enough. The number the ED gave at the meeting I attended was much lower--in the neighborhood of 200. I doubt she's unclear on the actual number, so I would guess she inflates it when it serves one purpose, and minimizes in other circumstances.

As I stated, there are many reasons that people don't like PEP. I've seen a younger age group at PEP, and the red team players did not stand out as quality players--if anything, their decision-making was poorer. But that's neither here nor there.

I (maybe?) stand corrected.[/quote]
