[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it’s worth, my kid was on Stoddert B & C teams are the parents were mostly wonderful. I loved spending time with those people, it was honestly one of the highlights of my kids’ childhood in terms of activities.

The A team? No thanks!!! Lots of awfulness & stress there. And frankly most of those kids are either not playing soccer anymore or they are going to play at colleges that you would never want your kid to go to (one ECNL player we know of is going to go play for ‘Fort Lewis College’ - WTF?? It has a 30% graduation rate). Most of the B team kids and the ones not playing soccer anymore are going to pretty incredible colleges.

If you want to hold onto your kids’ childhood maybe nix the high level sports & just take it down a notch.

This is true at every Club.

I’ve seen some really nice parents change completely as their kid rose up the ranks.  I can’t even talk to one couple anymore.  They only ever want to talk about their kid’s soccer.  And they are really arrogant about it.  You see, their kid is destined for the National team according to them because of the latest spot on new team next year.  I don’t think they are dealing in reality.[/quote]
