[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, when my son played Academy style soccer, the parents were very much like other travel parents.  In fact, because the teams were constantly changing, the atmosphere was actually worse, instead of parents jostling to have their kid at the top of the heap at tryouts, it was continuous.[/quote]

Were you at FCB last year? I keep hearing this same sentiment.  I doubt any of the academy travel clubs remotely resemble what FCB is doing.

If you were at FCB, then we had drastically different experiences.

Again, how is this relevant to FCB if you have never been there or seen how they do it?

In fact, FCB inherited a ton of players from a 'academy style' travel program in NoVA.  They apparently were just not sold on that particular Academy program and how it was run, not the Acadmey style in general.[/quote]

I am not in Virginia.  The program my son was in was very much like you describe FCB and all of the coaches had gone through Academy programs themselves in other countries.  All programs have upsides and downsides, including Academy style programs.  Not sure why anyone mentioning a downside is so vociferously attacked, but certainly seem to prove my observation that some of the Academy parents are just as, if not more, prone to bad behavior than those in more typical club programs.[/quote]
