[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish our FCV club was back in ECNL. Lots of parents ready to have their kid make the jump from our club to an ECNL club. Can’t wait for tryouts. [/quote]

Everything soccer related was better back then. We've done nothing but confuse the landscape for the past 5 years.[/quote]

The landscape is fine, there are more opportunities for players to be seen than ever before. The problem is parental egos are shattered by making sure their kid is on the best team in the best league.

Yes, there is dilution, all that means is take your teams success or failure in a relative sense with a grain of salt. But the benefit is that more kids have an opportunity to be seen today than ever before.

If parents can let go of the ego attachment of their kid being validated by the team they are on people would be far healthier.[/quote]

Geez, where did all this parent evaluation come from. I thought we were talking about soccer here.

The landscape is fine for some, but not for all. Yes, there are more opportunities for players so if you're trying to grow a soccer culture, you might say this is a good thing. If your player is towards the marginal end, great, you now have access to a higher level of play. If your player is on the high performing end, their development could be affected by not being surrounded by as much talent. What this has done is chopped the top off the pyramid to some extent. It is not "fine" for elite players. DA might've/should've been that level for elite players to consolidate, but somewhere along the line they lost their way and died as a result.[/quote]

We all weep for the 1% you think your kid is. [/quote]
