[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I get that my child is not going onto a career at Liverpool or even D1 soccer, but I don't understand why Steve Knapman (Potomac) or the Sal Caccavale (Achilles) or the Colton brothers (Bethesda) or any of the VA clubs can't get it together to have a decent playing experience for their second and third teams. I mean, how hard is it to find a decent coach, seed the team correctly, and pretend to care about the kids that they took so much money from? My DC and I would be perfectly happy to have him play against good players, a little above his level and have teammates who are at or a little above his skill level so he can develop as a player. We accepted an offer at a big club, but I'm wondering if the way to go next year isn't to find a decent team that's not part of a huge club playing at the higher levels of NCSL and get off the big club rat race. OK, rant over. [/quote]

When I was in your position, I asked around and was encouraged to go with a small club vs a larger clubs C team. We have been so happy with the level of play and the attention our kid gets. Of his friends who picked the bigger club, almost every single one has quit and the only one who advanced to the A team started out on the B team. His teammates at the small club have stuck around year after year. I am sure that doesn't always happen but it has been our experience.[/quote]
