[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]So a rec Coach is bashing the methods of professional coaches at FCB? Ummm...[/quote]

Nope. I have no opinion on their methods. I haven't seen their training, nor would I have the expertise to tell you how good it is.

All I'm saying is that if you spend $3,000 on training and end up, after one year, playing at an NCSL Division 8 level, you need to ask yourself whether your child is making the progress to justify that price tag. (I frankly think every parent on an NCSL Division 8 level at U12 should ask the same question, no matter the club or the price tag. It's not good soccer.)

I'm not saying I have the answer. I don't.

I'm suggesting a question you should ask. That's it.

The fact that people resort to ad hominem arguments rather than even entertain the question, well, that might be the answer you need.[/quote]

I played and coached well-beyond Rec level so I will use my own experience as a guide.  I just think it’s unfortunate that you continually are coming on to equate what this Academy is about to a Club playing bottom-level NCSL.  They didn’t even join leagues this year.  Jury is still out about that.  League rules are restrictive to the way they develop players.

You aren’t just saying people should ask—you are attacking a product you know nothing about and haven’t experienced.

It’s not a travel Club.  Your insistence of trying to put it in that box demonstrates your ignorance.

I’ve been with travel for over 40 years in this area.  This is different.

Is it the answer?  That depends on the family.

But you really shouldn’t sell yourself as an authority when you lack the credentials as a dad and rec soccer coach.

In fact, your arguments are living proof about the lack of understanding about youth soccer development in this country.  It has nothing to do with leagues/games/wins at these young ages.  All that’s wrong with youth soccer in America, found in your responses.
