[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, when my son played Academy style soccer, the parents were very much like other travel parents.  In fact, because the teams were constantly changing, the atmosphere was actually worse, instead of parents jostling to have their kid at the top of the heap at tryouts, it was continuous.[/quote]

The problem with clubs saying that they are academy style does not necessarily mean they really are. Just having the A and B team practice together does not an academy make. The difference at FCB is multiple age groups and genders are on the fields roughly at the same time. They are broken into groups based on skill and the purpose of the practice. So that means that a kid could regularly practice with a age group one to two years up once a week and then twice a week with his regular group. It is very easy to make sure proper numbers are available for the specific drill by simply moving one or two kids to a different field.

While there are fairly established groups there is enough fluidity that they find ways to challenge all the kids in appropriate manners. There is also no team attachment which leads to a toxic environment due to jealousy or perceived slights. Does that mean some people are not happy? No but many traditional club soccer problems are mitigated minimized as best they can be.[/quote]
