[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida teams, even their lower ranking ones, are quite good.  I saw at CASL with my oldest a Florida classic team beat a pretty solid elite team from VA.  I think people are really nitpicking the Barca team for some reason I can't fathom. [/quote]

Yes. I'm not sure why.  They can't be seen as a threat.  Many aren't competing at the same levels of most other top Clubs.  I am guessing it is from some other nearby Club--or somebody that left that had a problem or beef (which is usually the answer to most of these obsessions).  It's too far for most Clubs in the area to travel to so there isn't a threat for player exodus.  It's pretty far out there geographically for the DC region.  Staff is friendly and just doing their own thing.  But= you see the same thing with the Spirit threads and the infamous FCV thread.  Parents getting all twisted about Clubs their kids don't play for.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't really get either of the extremes here. Some people are so defensive about the club when anyone asks a simple question. Others are tearing it down. I understand it a *little* bit more when we're talking about Vienna or McLean or some other club that represents a community. Not so much here. What next -- an epic shoutfest over Cougars or Cugini or PAC?

As far as I can tell, Barca has no ridiculously overbearing coaches, and it seems to have a sensible approach to training. I'm not seeing red flags other than a couple of hyperdefensive people in this thread, but every club has those. (It's just a question of whether or not they're on DCUM.) [/quote]

They only have 400 kids total in the program vs the THOUSANDS of players in big Clubs like Loudoun and Arlington.  Not sure what the attacks are about.[/quote]

Who gives a shit? Right?  My two kids are really happy and that's all that matters.  They both love the training and mention how their old programs at former Clubs were 50% just scrimmaging.  The practices here are methodically planned out and differ each day of the week and from week to week.  My players respond to this well.  They also are always moving--no time to screw off.  My players complaint about their former Clubs were 'boring', lots of standing around and kids that were goofing off and Coaches did nothing about it or couldn't control it.  We haven't had that issue--2 years at Barca. This may differ by gender or by kids in other age groups so I only speak to my own.

I figure anyone that wants to continually bash one of the smallest Clubs in the area that they've never been a part of or actually seen train has inferiority and/or mental issues.  Let them spend their days spinning their wheels about children's sports.  [/quote]
