[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just signed my daughter up to tryout for the Juventus DC Metro 06G team tryouts. It’s the 1st VA team! They have a charter to expand their program in to VA & DC. This is HUGE! We recently moved from Montgomery County where Juventus is based and it’s THE CLUB to play for. My son played for this club before we moved. My daughter almost had a heart attack when she found out. If you have a solid 06G or 07G player sign them up to try out. This is an awesome opportunity for any player who is serious about soccer. We are so excited! And it’s Juventus. Hello?!?!? Cristiano Ronaldo!

Lol...you do realize this is not THE Juventus? They will play in EDP and NCSL leagues like every other club. Please do not do this thinking you’ll have the next C Cristiano Ronaldo. If you want that, I’d recommend taking your kid overseas and doing a trial at their home base academy. [/quote]

Wow was not expecting this much of a response. This is THE Juventus. The Italian Professional team as clubs all over the world. This being one of them. Juventus Professional coaches come visit their clubs all over the world 4 times a year. This is not about my kids being the next Ronaldo. It’s about being in an exceptional club that knows what’s important and really cares about their kids. There’s a reason anyone who’s been involved in this club, like my family, love it![/quote]

It just upsets me because these organizations make so much money in a dishonest way. They make parents who do not know any better shell out thousands for little billy and Sally to take trips overseas (paid by parents) in order to be “scouted”. It’s not honest. At least with other pay to play clubs the lie is not so blatant. I have a child in a mid tier division one program and we were played one too many times by clubs like the one you’re promoting. I normally just nod my head when I hear other people talking about little billy making the Barcelona ODSL team in leesburg and that he was invited to Barcelona “whatever the camp is called nowadays”. It’s all just smokescreens and bs. I guess if you’re happy to be there then that’s cool. But maybe the way the soccer community is responding signals that this is a bigger issue than you think.[/quote]

This is not a dishonest club. By any means. The reason we had such a good experience is bc they care about the players emotional well being as much as their level of play on the field. They actually care. And as a result they players love the club. Both my kids play for different local clubs in the area and I can tell you they haven’t gotten an ounce of the support we were given with Juventus. No one is being taken oversees to be scouted. Like any club there are different levels. An Academy level (higher league, more expensive) and a Classic level (NCSL or comparable leagues, less expensive). They have a Juventus Experience in Italy you can CHOOSE to do. And it mostly consists of touring the facilities, the town/area and maybe practicing and playing with one of their local youth teams. I would discourage you from clumping them in with these other programs you’re talking about if you know nothing about the club.[/quote]

They are charging as much as clubs that play ECNL. You can call them established, but they look like they have 1 boys team that actually plays in tournaments. They are moving into a very competitive area filled with established clubs. It is doubtful that they will even get enough kids to field the teams they say they will and even more doubtful that those teams will be competing, but by placing a known name (which I’m sure is costing the founders a lot of money to license), they make parents think they are buying into something established [/quote]
