[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like it was stated by a PP all the kids at Barca were B,C, or D team level players from previous clubs. The talent level is down a notch which makes these kids appear to have gotten better.When in actuality they're just the better group of a pool of lower level teams. Im not knocking Barca its simply another travel club rather than local branding. They are a franchise from a pro club. But not a jr academy as a pipeline to the big club. People have a choice to tryout at at any club if they make it they are placed at the appropriate level based on the talent pool at that club. I would hope if there were a diamond in the rough player that turns up at Barca. They would do the right thing and guide that player to the correct setting. I mean an ECNL or DA program to help that player develop into the best player they can become. As for the other 99.9% of players help them make the most out of their travel soccer experience.[/quote]

Not ALL the kids.  Some kids were at DA programs and left in favor of Barca.  Those parents are as happy with the program as other levels.  And that's an interesting put down to imply they only "appear to have gotten better".

There are better and worse teams.  I have seen some amazing talent at Barca, and some not as talented.

Don't misunderstand me either.  I'm not saying players should or shouldn't leave or join DA, Barca, or anything.  But sometimes a DA or ECNL club has the benefit of a greater talent pool and isn't necessarily a good organization. Pages and pages of posts have been filled with criticisms of those programs too.

I totally agree with you. I would just hope Barca as well as any other travel club would do the right thing by any truly elite player they may come upon and direct them to the right program to help them become the best they can be. And I didn't mean it as a put down but when you have mostly B & C team players all together the best become that clubs A team. Where as that group of kids were B or C team level at their old club. Its not because the got better all of the sudden they just became the best available in that clubs player pool making them that clubs A team.[/quote]
