[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I almost want my kid to go to Metro United to be part of a building up team. Maybe less toxic parents. What will we all do when looking at college?  I have thought about this a lot. I am stressed around some of the parents on my kid’s team. The kids are stressed too. I wonder if Metro United would be happy to have my kid and my kid could be a kid again. Going out outside of DA/ECNl  And playing CCL etc would not make sense because if your kids plays at a certain level already that would be strange to go back. Do any other parents feel the same way? [/quote]

Compared to other programs there is less stress here. You will find the Metro parents to be pretty laid back, welcoming and friendly. The players get along well and your kid can be a kid. Coaches focus on helping players get better. I like how they challenge the players all the time. Whatever your DD's situation is they will find a way to challenge her. But coaches will also support and motivate her. She will have a good group of friends and lower stress along the way. All while playing DA teams. Good luck in your search.[/quote]

I'm not sure this is accurate, except for maybe a few kids on the 06 team.  Parents of the kids who have talent are not happy with the way things are going.  Those families want competitive games and discipline.  Don't make MU out to be a club for kids who aren't serious who just want to get some exercise.[/quote]

I never said that. It's a demanding program. They push the players to get better. [b]I just think it's a very player centric model vs all about winning games[/b]. But we are at a different stage of development as well.

NOW we get it :lol:

"very player centric model vs all about winning games."

Umm, what stage are [i]we[/i] at?  :lol:

PP didn't post anything about teams vis a vis players in this "very player centric model". Care to elaborate? other than "all about winning"?[/quote]

We are at the building stage. You have to develop the players first before winning games. All parents want competitive games but it takes time to get there. Ask yourself this, is your DD better than the beginning of the season? Is the team better? Which matters the most?[/quote]

I’m not sure just asking if your DD is better than she was earlier is sufficient. The real question is, is she improving more quickly at her current club than she would at an alternative club. One way to see this is to measure team results against clubs that play each other consistently. It’s not perfect, but it helps keep perspective on the rate of development. For example, if we are losing by a bigger margin against clubs this year as compared to last year/season, maybe development at the club trails its peer group. Alternatively, if we are now winning or losing by a smaller margin, maybe development is faster than the peer group. So although I agree it is about individual player situations, team results are necessary to understand the environment.[/quote]

I agree with that. You said it better than I could.[/quote]

Changes are coming then? [/quote]

Not for us. We are improving relative to others at our age.[/quote]
