[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest US soccer culture problem is that youth soccer exists to create economic success for private clubs.  We are traveling all over because winning bigger and bigger things helps build the club profile.  They don't care about the kids at all.  Why do you think you have to respond within 48 hours to your offer letter to join the team?  For the kids benefit?  Or to lock down customers?

We are all paying to be used...they have us by the junk and they know it.  How else can your kid make it to the top?  Staying within the cheap, local leagues?  Good luck bub.

Soccer isn't in the streets...its on "elite" teams who are exploiting adults who make it about them.  All I can do is use those clubs as much as they are using me...and keep my eyes wide open.

Our private HS team has started doing this---getting on planes and traveling to play other HSs. It is the MOST ridiculous thing ever.

This is also in the middle of college soccer season.  It's not like college coaches watch high school games anyways---but high school games in the middle of dead season...certainly not!!

The need for this is not there. I still can't fathom why it's being done.  [/quote]
