[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If so many Virginia parents stopped club hopping, then maybe the coaches wouldn't act the way YOU think they will act.

Enjoy your kid playing soccer, making friends and having fun.  Because in the end most of these kids, especially on the boys side will not play in college.

Think about it - would you want to go to a college with 2000 kids and play division 3 soccer or something like VA Tech, UVA or UMD and play club soccer?  Is your kid willing to sacrifice missing out on college football and basketball?  Because between soccer and  school, it takes up 80 hours per week.  Kids are run down and burned out after the first year. Most don't even get to play their first year.

Most kids want to have college experience, and often their academics don't match their soccer skills.

Also, loyalty can be rewarded; you just don't know about it because you don't stick around long enough. [/quote]Clubs and coaches force kids to leave with their bait and switch.

They are trying to maximize revenue and making players better or soccer fun are secondary. It's their garbage games of trying to get donations or extra lessons as the price for kids playing time or to get on the better teams that creates the problem parents not the other way around.

Kid soccer is beyond broken and the clubs/coaches set the rules and yet the just blame the parents and start hating on the kids.

Tryouts are an absolute joke.[/quote]
