[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stupid question reading through this thread.

What kind of teams have this many kids? Is it ECNL or the regular club teams? My kids play for a smaller club and only have 14/15 on each team, so I’m trying to wrap my head around these numbers. [/quote]

These are money grabbing ECNL and lesser extent GA teams.  Some carry 25-30 kids on the teams, all selling 'exposure to college coaches,' for a $3500 price tag.  Families that were on 2nd teams, now happy to be on a 1st team, not realizing they eventually take 25-30 kids.

I feel bad for the families with kids on the second team, fine with being on the second team, likely with options to play for a club without an MLSNext or ECNL top team that then lose playing time to kids not on their team [/quote]

It’s the bait and switch that is the problem. They should be honest about roster size.[/quote]

The should be honest with the RL kids that they will lose playing time because the ECNL roster is too big for everyone to dress. Of course, those kids may more to clubs where the top team is RL or USYS and the clubs don't want that [/quote]

Blame the parents. They make decisions for the kids, pay for it and run the Uber service.

They chase a badge or name brand club that's not a good fit for their kid.
