You must really have something for that club. What about the club stands out the most?

You’re welcome, OP

That movie nails a surprising amount about how the early years of travel soccer feel (maybe even later years - not there yet). It is not a great movie, but I think that is because travel soccer is not a great story.

It was uncanny how several of our experiences in travel soccer almost exactly matched events in the movie. For example our travel club went to A/B teams at U9 the year our DC started travel soccer.

Great movie

Thank you! While recognizing that this is a terrible movie in every way, I saw it on HBO and wound up watching it twice last week.

DH and I could relate to so much of the ridiculous stuff in the movie - the A/B team hierarchy, our worries about damaging our precious snowflake's psyche, timing our kids' playing time, the all consuming preoccupation during tryout season, and the anger you feel when a coach is berating your kid. And why did I ever say that a nine year old girl "sucked at soccer?" What is wrong with me? I am a normally compassionate person who has been to the brink of madness. So glad to be done with those early years of insanity.

I kept seeing glimpses of myself in these characters, and began muttering, "God, I hate myself" over and over. Thanks for giving me more reasons to hate myself. Not only have I been a crazy soccer mom, but now I love this awful, poorly produced movie.
