[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume my DS is an anomaly but wondered if other folks have seen this. I have a 11 year old that absolutely loved the game. [b]He plays for a large academy[/b] and practices everyday either alone or with his team. A few years ago, he was in the 5th team of the academy but rose the ranks progressively and is now a starter in the 2nd team. It usually takes him 2 games with any new coach to convince him that he should start every game. 
However, whenever my son goes to a tryout with a different academy, he will not get any offers (even for their lowest team with kids that started playing last year). 
I assume that the reason is that he is not as fluid as other players that were born with god given ability, but he more than makes up for it with his work rate and consistency.
I wonder if other families have experienced this themselves.

To be clear, there is only one academy in the DMV…that is DCU and they don’t have a 5th team (even though they might play like it sometimes).  Stop calling clubs academies just because they label something “academy”.  You should look up the difference yourself so you stop sounding like a dope.  [/quote]

Semantics of language. Nobody cares about this point and it adds nothing to the discussion. [/quote]

No....it isn't semantics.  Its clubs duping parents cause they are too stupid/lazy to learn for themselves and/or parents thinking their little baby is much better than they really are. You aren't an academy kid...you will know those when you see them.  [/quote]
