[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other 11 will be playing on a composite age combined team. I would be more concerned if you are the 18th on the roaster on any team and would rather get playing minutes playing. Pool teams are actually better for training which is why many top clubs do this. Clearly the poster doesn’t understand.

ECNL pretty much eliminated composite team league scheduling.  Sending half of ECNL players to play in EDP on a composite team is no different than playing on EDP team of another club, except for higher cost.   [/quote]

ah, the cost, because the real concern is what some one else's family decides to spend money on.  LOL, i have never understood this obsession on this board.  youth soccer is expensive in the US.  It is what it is.  I think spending a premium on a high end car is stupid - but if that's what makes you and your family happy, who the hell am I to tell you that your Mercedes SUV is financially stupid... you do you.

The difference between the club fees at Mclean for ECNL vs. a Green team spot is $200... and if you signed up to be a full composite player, you didn't have to even pay the ECNL premium.  Beyond that, you pay for what your kid does -- if they end up going on an ECNL trip or to a showcase, you pay for it.  If your kid isn't rostered, you don't.  It's a nightmare for the treasurer, but it's fair.  So... maybe Mclean's club fees are higher than another EDP club's fees (though I think they're pretty on par and green team parents are paying that for CCL...) - but again, it's a decision for each family based on a lot of factors.  If you love the location, or the coach, or the team, an extra couple hundred bucks is worth it, especially when you have it to spare... So don't worry about what I'm paying for soccer and I won't worry about what you spent on your car.   [/quote]
