[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any experience with Burke AC, Team America, or SCAA?  Looking at smaller clubs in the area.[/quote]

SCAA/South County is our local club and they rebranded from FCV to South County last year and it is a relatively young club.  We went to the tryouts for U9 last year and I would say roughly 8 kids showed up.  One of the players is our neighbor and they left mid year.  He told me the training was subpar and that to complete the team they played up U8 rec players.  Because of that in every game they were getting blown out by double digits and his kid didnt want to play anymore.  Yes I know its not about winning but you hope it is atleast slightly competitive.  He ate the remaining costs to make the switch.  I looked at the coaching lineup and they changed coaches again for the 3rd yr straight. I know its not my direct experience but thought I would share.  Not trying to sway anyone so perhaps still request to attend or seeing a practice and attend the tryouts.  Perhaps it has or will get better.[/quote]

Something must have changed, because I saw their U9s play a couple of weeks ago and thought they were OK. They weren't playing a particularly good team, but they were certainly outplaying the opposition and playing the "right" way (passing, dribbling, not kickball).[/quote]

Thanks this is helpful.  The costs/commitment seem on par with other teams and the location is good.  I am familiar with the new coaches.  I guess my son could go to tryouts and see what it is like.
I'm not super interested in 3 days/week for a second grader.  Is that the norm around here??[/quote]

Yes, but  not until last year.  The change to birth year from school calendar year majorly sucks and is the reason you have kids in lower grades starting too soon.[/quote]
