[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do agree, the term "Academy" should have a standardized meaning.  -We signed up with our local club who advertised they had an "Academy," and it took us about 6 months to figure out that was just a marketing term.

It fooled us, it was just travel soccer with 2 teams and a rotating cast of coaches who really just liked to let the players scrimmage a ton.

Just like we entered and won our 1st U9 tournament, I thought we were amazing! -Then I found out we entered bracket #3 of 4 brackets.  Ugh, the marketing and mis-direction is strong.[/quote]

Just wait till they unveil their Elite Academy!  OP on the academy term post and I get it...many people are getting duped.  When we started years ago I didn't know enough and thought playing travel ball meant something.  Then I learned about the levels.  As long as you want to learn and not be willfully blind then you will do right by your kid.  [/quote]Had a coach try to explain to me once that the team he was pitching for my kid was a travel team. But all the teams played against each other every week on the same field. Make that make sense.[/quote]

He meant level, not milage

I only wish my kid played half hour away every weekend on same field [/quote]

yup, travel level play without travel level distances... that would be great [/quote]

Oh, then we can argue over what “travel” means.   This board is just hilariously entertaining [/quote]

As in travel versus rec levels [/quote]

Huh?[/quote]

You don't know there are travel teams and recreational teams?[/quote]

You missed the entire point Einstein.  Travel level play without travel level distances.  What the hell does that even mean.  Does that help your comprehension?[/quote]
