[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 cents: college coaches want good players that will help their program be successful.  The DA had it right, it’s all about developing players, not building power teams and winning trophies. I heard a great quote from ex-MNT goalkeeper Tony Meola once: “the last thing I want is to walk into my kid’s room when they turn 18 and see it filled with medals and trophies but they never developed into a good player”. All this talk about players jumping to this and that ECNL team to make it great, slow down. If you’re a parent of an ex-DA player find a technical director and coach that you can trust and will help your kid develop with the right intentions. It sounds like most DA clubs are going to start a new 10 month league while allowing HS soccer if your daughter wants to play, so you may not have to do anything. You don’t need to chase some ECNL badge. [/quote]

This is the dilemma, right? DD loves her coach. And for all its flaws, DA did some things right.  Having each game recorded was a huge plus.  Getting video of teams they were going to play, and having to review footage, meeting with her position group, coming up with strategies against that team.  And then after the games, looking at her clips and seeing what she could have done better.  These things also helped her develop into a smarter player.

Does ECNL require games to be recorded? I actually have no idea.
