[quote=Anonymous][quote=SocAnon][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lower teams at the big clubs are basically expensive rec teams. They take everyone who tries out, and just make more teams.[/quote] I see this sentiment often, and it is inaccurate. We have two kids playing for a big club (5 teams per age group), and every year, at most 60% of kids even make a team. I hate this, I wish more kids could make a team, but coaching and field space constrains it. The third-fifth teamers are still absolute stand-outs in rec (which I also coach). Whether or not you think the coaching is better, the competition definitely is, club soccer practices more, and gets better field space. My former fifth team DD who now plays ECNL is happy she didn’t stick with rec. [/quote] Thats great you daughter went from the 5th team to ECNL! Gives me some hope!
