[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seconding what PP said, DD plays for a shall we say "less competitive" team in a very large travel academy, and the attitude toward practice attendance is very relaxed. Players from throughout the academy circulate as guests at practices and at games, so there's less pressure about letting the team down. We appreciate the flexibility, to be honest.[/quote]

This is a good example. Many clubs acknowledge that kids have other interests and they do their best to be accommodating to that as a club. Other clubs may have lower level teams where the coaches are more lax as well.

Evergreen FC is a tournament only club that does not play in any leagues. It is decidedly more forgiving of multi-sport kids.  [/quote]

What is a tournament only club ? that might work in iowa but hard to believe anyone in VA soccer needs a tournament only club. sounds like a money grab. [/quote]

They only play tournaments, no league play. This is pretty common in Europe, the philosophy being games are not as important as training. It is a bold way to go, but if you have other obligations yet still want travel level soccer training, it is an option.[/quote]

what a way to misconstrue the European philosophy.  Yes the emphasis is on more and quality training and where games have less importance but they still play league games.  they just don't care about wins and losses at the development ages.  One thing definitely not part of the true European model is tournaments.  Yes you are seeing them pop up here and there but that's a money grab just like it is here.  [/quote]
