[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son loved playing soccer and eagerly joined his travel team st U9.  He was placed on the GOLD team and the other teammates were ok, but simply didn't look interested in playing soccer, at all.

We lost just about every game, and we lost by large margins, relative to soccer.  Regardless of our placement in the league and tournaments, I truly felt that development was important above all else.  After my son continued to lose and lose, he started to be live he was a loser.  We switched club's and found him a team that wasn't a juggernaut, but loved to compete.  It took two more years to see the spark and eagerness in him prior to practices and get to g his uniform together for games.

Why would the club put together the team and release them to the wolves knowing they would get crushed, the only reason I can think of is money.  For FUN ESCOLA, I would suggest they NOT join any of the competitions here because wins matter to the parents and to the kids, if they're not ready, don't let them to compete just to be canon fodder.[/quote]

You really have no idea what you are talking about. The training is excellent and there are pockets of talent and more kids will come. Exactly what money did Barca earn by going to a tournament?

Not only is yours a trolling comment it might be among the absolute dumbest posts I’ve seen in some time. Congrats. [/quote]

It's really not. There are clubs out there that claim "development over winning" and take just about anyone who shows up. It seems like a noble concept until the teams get shredded, game after game after game, and the kids lose interest in playing.[/quote]

They will play in leagues next year at an appropriate level. There are lots of leagues with many levels of play. They will not get “shredded” and kids won’t quit the sport. Parents may overreact to early poor results and they would be the problem more than the kids. But thanks for your trolling concern. [/quote]

What league will they be participating in?  Curious to see if they'll start off in NCSL or something different.[/quote]

My guess they will be in NCSL to start with likely plans to play in NPL eventually. [/quote]
