The 2012 team has 24 rostered on their team. The coach plays his fav. and the DCU kids while giving the other players very few mins.

I think all the MLS Next teams in the area create their gameday rosters weekly. It isn't unique to Alexandria.

HAsn't Alexandria always been the bottom of the barrel for coaching?

Rankings don’t matter. Poor barometer of development.

Oh, you're talking development...I'm confused, because the title of this thread is "Alexandria on the way down?" I was talking about rankings wins and losses. You know, the things that matter when talking about if a team & Club is up or down.

This is the same everywhere. Clubs take on lots of kids. Some kids don’t get to play as much. Stinks. Your choice is to have your kid work harder or leave.

Wild that you started a whole fake thread because your sit hugged some bench time

Thats what happens when you get used to everyone gets a medal and trophy

This is not the Olympics. No one signs their child up to a sports team so they can warm the bench.

You want to be in MLS Next, the highest level of play in the nation

You can choose a team on a lower level where your kid can play more on game day

1) Move down to 2nd team.
2) practice with 1st team and play with 2nd team
3) Get permission to guest with another club to get playing time

EVERY club is willing to take on additional players and move others down. This is not unique to Alexandria.

Your kids situation is emblematic of your parenting style. You think there is a problem with an entire boys side of the club because they don’t feel your son is good enough to play. Don’t go a moment and think I am above this situation and that my son has not been in the same position. This is their moment to put up or shut up and it is on your child to decide how they want to respond.

Everybody wants to be 1st team until it is time to do what 1st team players do.

Why? What’s going on?

Any intel on the boy's side of the club?
