I think the point is that Spirit is not running rampant with playups to be accused of using it as a recruiting tool. 3 playups accross two age groups does not sound like an abuse. [/quote]

It has been rampant all over this forum.  Come to Spirit; you're kid may play up.  Big roster?  Don't worry. We'll play some kids up.

So now you're trying to down play the very thing that has been used time and again as a selling point.  Sure, just like burger King:  have it your way sunshine. I don't personally care, as I'd never take my kid there.

I stand by the point:  run from any club that uses playing up as a recruitment tool. [/quote]

If Spirit has only 3 playups on two teams it stands to reason that the club is not in fact using playing up as a recruiting tool. The belief that if the McLean 08 team came to Spirit tryouts would immediately all be offered DA roster spots on a 07 team is pretty overstated.

All that is being stated is that Spirit is open minded to playups. But that can be said for many clubs not just Spirit.

On the flip side one should also consider running from any club that keeps players at age for the purpose of recruiting through GotSoccer points or loaded State Cup teams.

If a parent feels that their DD would benefit by playing up in DA over NCSL then by all means tryout at a DA or ECNL club. [/quote]
