[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We get it.  Your RL kid is great.  But the NL kids practice more, practice against harder competition, play against harder competition day in and day out, year after year.  It is a difficult thing  for RL kids to overcome, the lack of training and playing competition after the first ECNL year, unless your kid is doing way more outside training, which the NL kids are also doing.  So, is your kid practicing more, playing against better competition, and training more outside of club practices?  If you can’t say absolutely yes, then you really shouldn’t think your DC is in the same boat, neither should the coaches.[/quote]

100 percent correct. As good as my kid is, by age 14 there is no way to make up the gap. Parents are deluded. But I do also fault the clubs, who give the illusion of development and advancement. It won’t happen by HS so don’t expect it. And that is the right thing, actually, but definitely disingenuous of the clubs to suggest that it can happen.[/quote]
