[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the Nova club growing from one year to another?[/quote]

They had a big growth from year 1 to year 2, but I don't think there was much growth between years 2 and 3.  In fact, their player numbers may have shrunk a little after year 2, at least in the older age groups.  [/quote]

Not sure of the breakdown between age groups but overall they continued to grow in year 3.

I've never seen them have the kids do footskills.   Not at any age, and not even in warm-ups.   That sort of individual technical work would need to be done outside of team practices at this club.  On the other hand, I've hardly ever seen any kids standing in lines either.  Their practices are very active.  All of the kids get lots of touches, and you can really see the technical improvement over the course of the year.

As far as cost, one thing I'll add is that they do give you 4 days a week.  Because of the way the club is structured - with centralized control over all the teams - it's really easy for them to set up internal scrimmages.  So even when you don't have a league game or friendly with another club, you can pretty much guarantee that your kid is going to be playing a game every weekend.  [/quote]

Is  game day the 5th day or 4th day? Most clubs have 4 days from late August through early November .

Most clubs practice 3 days a week plus a league game. DA will practice 4 days and some ECNL clubs may practice 4 days but 3 is pretty standard for travel soccer. [/quote]
