Except having fun with their high school buddies and making memories that will likely last longer than most of their football careers, Messi’s dad.


Who care's about memories when you can get gaslit into thinking you are on a path to the pro's.


Wait, my son is not?

This is despite knowing there is no scholarship and no pro career.


Which kid has a goal of playing HS soccer?

That's a low bar

As for these silly memories crap, these kids see their HS and neighborhood friends all the time and do social things together

What's the special soccer memories?

That is the point, I don't want my kids to have a jaded take on "silly memories" when they are adults.


The memories most of these kids will have as adults is of each other staring at their phones
Or interactions on video games


Is that on the $1500 phone or the $600 game box you bought them?

Ding ding ding. Right there with you. And that’s for about 70% of the P2P starters.
Don’t tell the U13 and U14 parents yet, let them post about how superior they and their children are a little longer.


It's a cutthroat world out there, at least let the kids enjoy their time with their schoolmates, it all goes so fast.
