[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of a DD 08 who will be looking at the various ECNL and DA teams come spring. I would only be interested in MU if the strong 08's were playing in the 08 age group. I would be very upset if I found out after we made the commitment to MU that the strongest 08's were "playing up" and the 08 team was filled with 09's who were playing up as well. It is because of this uncertainty which is why we would be wary of joining a MU team next year and will likely look at FCV or BRYC instead.[/quote] That is a valid concern, and that's been a chief complaint with this happening so chronically. It has also contributed during the Spirit days and bled into the MU club. It has without question affected MU's success unfortunately. I do think MU has made efforts to improve this, but it hasn't been fully successful. It's a hard culture change because Spirit became the "play up" place. I would still go to some of the training sessions so you can assess the turn out and have a chance to talk to the coaches directly. In conversations I had with them, they acknowledged the problems it was creating and sounded like they wanted to change it. [/quote] There are also rare exceptions on the coach’s evaluation of talent. If they play-up is very talented,impactful/beneficial for the team then it is what it is. Don’t go crying g because this talented younger kid is on your kids team. I do agree some should be at that level.[/quote] And MU is just filled with so many rarities? I don't know whether such comments make me want to laugh or cry. Rarities are like the 05 on the 04 team at FCV. Rarities are like the 04 on the Baltimore Armour team. That 04 on the 03 Baltimore Armour team is the top scorer. And that team in and of itself isn't that strong. One of their FT players was EDP for Spirit VA last year. Even on a weak team, she is amazing. I absolutely believe rarities exist, but they are obvious when they are seen. . They are the best players on the field. They are game changers. And they are rare. Yet somehow MU has so many more gems than anyone else? It must, given how many more MU has. I wish MU had those players. [/quote] MU does have exceptions you just fail to see it or don’t want to believe it. Wait some years out and you will be putting your foot in your mouth ! Your are a huge trouble maker- I don’t know why I’m even responding to your idiotic BS[/quote] Name calling is very childish, so I don't know why you responded either. There was no substance to it. I know so many people who either left or don't take MU seriously because of this type nonsense. Keep campaigning though until MU is run in the ground by it. That's the direction it is headed in.
