[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I read things like this, I’m so happy my kids have leaned into interests besides soccer and that I have a sense of identity outside of what regional travel soccer team in Virginia my child is invited to join. [/quote]

And are forming their identities in the new things they like.  Don't act like you or your kids are superior.  I agree that things in youth sports can be highly toxic, but they "escaped" just to find a new passion that they will sink their teeth into.  Enjoy the ride. [/quote]
No, soccer is a unique brand of insanity. I have a kid who is a good golfer and the community is incredibly supportive and friendly. He used to play soccer and it was like torture. The parents thought their kids were going to the World Cup because they made the A team on a good soccer club. Along with like, 12 other boys. And these kids were U10. No joy, no fun, just intensity from those moms.

The boys were nice enough.[/quote]

Easy to identify the best golfers, just check the scoreboard.  Soccer, like most team sports, the best in the eye of the beholder.  But parents are such neutral judges shouldn’t be that hard right Moms?[/quote]

The people who actually know soccer can tell the best players objectively [/quote]

Let me correct this for you.  Objective soccer professionals can identify the best players.[/quote]

Yes, that certainly explains why in one tryout season, kids get very different offer levels from different clubs. [/quote]

No it doesn’t, silly comment.[/quote]
