[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, it might have to do with having a clear top league in BDA. With girls, it’s not clear in our area and some parents will make themselves feel better about their decision by putting down others. 
Ridiculous, yes. But I think this will continue until we see a definite winner. I think that’s why the scrimmage scores between GDA and ECNL are bringing out such bad behavior.

I definitely think this is part of the issue.  If you are a boy's parent, the path is pretty clear.  Your kid works to get on a DA team, then they work to do well there, and if they succeed, they will have a lot of good college options at a minimum.  Not to mention the boys' DA is cheaper than regular travel soccer, and in some cases (not here, sadly) free.  There's no real reason to second guess playing for DA if your kid is enjoying it, so there is nothing to fret about or feel insecure about.[/quote]

Agree with this one.   Also, if a boy makes a DA in this area he is a solid player.   With the dilution of girls DA and ECNL, and the Spirit specifically (yes, now metro united or whatever it is), making a girls DA doesn’t necessarily mean the girl is a quality player.[/quote]

Guessing your DD is on a local ECNL club. [/quote]

...and as he stated, his DD probably is not a "quality player" with all the dilution.   SMH[/quote]
