[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also find that the constant moving between Club teams creates a terrible team environment. Everyone is out for themselves and making varsity, then playing on college.

No one plays for their team anymore, it’s all about themselves.  That’s disheartening and not fun to watch. Parents are the worst, trash talking other kids and snow plowing their kid into teams and into starting positions. Very self centered.

If we could start anywhere, it would be with creating teams that stay together, win or lose together - not those that are looking out only for the individual players. Also that’s not how you win games. [/quote]

There is no team without I.  What is in it for the player to do what you suggest?  Why would someone do that?  Same in basketball, baseball.  [/quote]

Wow. How far we have sunk.

Did you see Steph Curry pass the ball in the Olympics to his rivals instead of taking the shots himself? That was beautiful to watch. (Sorry to switch over to basketball on you.)

Have you watched Messi play? Have you seen him try to decline the captains band? Beautiful.

All I see is ugly most of the time with Club soccer and Varsity soccer. Just sickening to watch. [/quote]

That is not what I am talking about.  Passing is part of the game.  Of course you pass.  But you don't stay on a team that no longer is developing you.  You don't stay on a team and win or lose together if that is not what is best for your development.  [/quote]
