[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of you are getting scammed by claimed or perceived "development" at clubs.  How much development do you think is happening during 3 training sessions a week and a workout?  With 20+ kids to care about?  Maybe a little bit of film study?  How many clubs have more than one coach per team?  How many coaches have more than one team!  Think about it and wake up...development happens outside of clubs.

For those who are serious believers in their club's "development" (you are the perfect customer!), what are some examples of your player developing strictly because of your club?

Kids get more development playing pickup soccer than most of these clubs.

Sure.  Philly Union Academy is the same at DCU.  Barcelona Academy is the same as Villareal.  Got it.  No difference.  All of the Philly Union and Barcelona results are because the kids were playing alot more pickup.  Let me go signup for the closest club to me.  Thanks for the advice.[/quote]

This takes the cake as the dumbest response.  Couple quick ones...the kids at those academies in Spain have played TONS of pickup in the streets and at school.  Still that isn't the point.  The point is these clubs are not academies so stop thinking they are and developing kids.  Go take a nap.  The kids that get to those academies have been developed outside of the club environment.

If you're in the top academies in Europe, like Barcelona for example, and you're U8 or U9, you're not playing tons of pickup street ball for as long as you're there.

This is literally the opposite of so many stories that the pros tell about their lives.  Outside of the US, kids play all the time.    [/quote]

As they walked barefoot uphill both ways for 15 kilometers to training?

You're not at Real Madrid academy at U13 and playing a lot of pickup ball.
It's not even allowed for one and two, where is the free time?[/quote]

Ugh…you don’t know that much about academies apparently.  [/quote]
