[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We already have enough parents - way more than enough - in soccer who don’t know squat about soccer and are just here for the water cooler/cocktail dinner bragging and college scholarships. If your DD isn’t a futbolista, sign her up for Lax. If she is, you all will know a good program when you see one and can stop asking ridiculous questions about college.[/quote]

That's all there is to it, folks. Everything wrong with American youth soccer is summed up in this brilliant mindset. Stop talking because you sound simple.[/quote]
Simple is worrying about college scholarships when your kid probably isn’t going to even make the academy for either VDA or FCV.[/quote]

Again, in the mind of a soccer parent. Thinking you have it all figured out and attempting (unsuccessfully) to denigrate someone who is simply looking for the best situation. You are a naive fool.[/quote]

I’m not denigrating anybody. Those aren’t easy programs to make - and stay in. I don’t claim to have it all figured out, but some of this is easy to figure out. If you think your kid is going to get what they need in terms of soccer training/education/curriculum from either A) a club led by a guy who spent his college years playing soccer, but not for his college team, for the club team or B) a club led by a guy who spent his college years playing, not soccer, but records for the college radio station, you’re way, way off target. They are just clubs with teams and platforms. Learning the game happens elsewhere.[/quote]
