[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many rec teams have a handful of really good players. Most 4th-5th tier travel teams have zero really good players.[/quote] There is a reason incoming rec players moving into travel don't all start on the bottom teams. [/quote] Most rec coaches are just glorified babysitters that are trying to make sure his DC has friends to play with. There are some decent rec players but they can’t hold a candle to any mid level travel player. And I guarantee any rec player whose dad is coaching is not even average. [/quote] Found the dad paying $4000 a year to drive all around and watch Larlo sit on the bench of the 5th Valor team. At least he's not a lowlife rec player, though. [/quote] Found the dad whose kid is going to have to go out for the field hockey team in high school (and not make it) because Rec Coach Bob couldn't teach his kid to dribble, pass or shoot.[/quote] There is zero chance any kid on the 5th travel team is making a large public HS soccer team. Rec players do make our large FCPS HS team every year. [/quote] That's a bold outright lie of a statement. The majority of the FCPS high school soccer teams are almost entirely made up of ECNL National and ECNL Regional players. Parents like you start to scramble to see what (if any) high school sport your kid can play. Inevitably, the rec players all go to field hockey and then get cut after their freshman year.[/quote] I have boys, but I am pretty sure teams called "ecnl" are not usually the lower teams in a club. [/quote] True, that is why the high school teams are almost exclusively made up from ECNL players. The notion that rec players are making up a large portion of the soccer teams is a fantasy.[/quote] Who said "large portion"?[/quote] No one. PP said there were a few rec players on their FCPS HS team, and they beat out at least a few low level travel players for spots. This indisputable fact seems to really bother people. [b]I don't know why[/b].[/quote] You know why :lol: :lol: :lol: [/quote]
