Very cool to put this together, thanks OP. I find it interesting and a validation that my DS's club is relevant.

Sounds like your team loses alot. Sure, it's about college recruiting in the end, but club performance affects that over time. Better clubs attract better coaching and better players. By practicing in that environment over time, player development improves. It matters.


No it is the opposite. The parents with bench warmers or kid barely hanging on are the ones who are always talking about the club’s 0 whatevers and how good they are, how good this or that player is on our team, how the team won the final but their kid was a non factor, etc. They are just a bunch of jock sniffers. The parents with players never talk about how the club is doing over all.

Here how it works. Big clubs have a big pool. They will have enough athleticism to beat 75% of the other clubs because of pool size. Every so often an age group gets lucky and has 5-6 top player vs 2-3 or a really dominant player in a key position. The coach and club have very little to do with it.

Also most posters here would not know a good coach from a bad coach. The way parents judge how good a coach is is if they select my kid for the top team the coach is great!.


Agree with 2nd paragraph.

Exactly. College Coaches know which clubs are most successful from top to bottom and they tend to gravitate towards those clubs during recruiting cycles.

they couldn't even fill there u13 roster and had to add a bunch of u12s. Plus they are doing ID sessions now for ECNL because they are losing more kids.

The only people who care are those who seeking validation from other adults. They need someone to say, “oh, your kid plays for…. wow, they must be good!”

Little kid BS. Grow up. It’s pay to play. When someone starts paying you kid to play, then we will talk. Until then, cut the check like everyone else.

Those who hate this post aren't near the top. It's fine. There are a slew of parents who'd like to spend a lot of $ and a LOT of time elsewhere if it improve their kid's chance even a little. Our area allows for some to travel to a few clubs if they wish. I just loooove those who post "who cares", yet they take the time to read and energy to post. It's 100% cope.

NP. Not sure what they did (assuming it would be a spread sheet), but it would be super easy with a spreadsheet and not difficult at all with pencil and paper.


This is such a DCUM answer to a sarcastic post 🤓
