If I want to see talented kids play, I’d rather go check out a DCU game. I was interested in seeing these two supposed VDA kids you were crowing about, but evidently you’re having trouble figuring out where they play in your own club.

So clearly, we could post a full roster of stats. That still wouldn't satisfy you.

Which team are they on? I’d like to watch the team play. The defensiveness in this thread is off the hook.

People are reacting to the tone of posts. Comments like "be specific" are confrontational. Barca moves players around, so it varies. But a DA players is pretty much high school, right? So watch the high school age top teams.

"tone" of the post? "be specific" is "confrontational" language??

I really can't for the life of me understand why someone who is clearly with Barca and knows the specific players and team can't share the information so those of us who want to see it can do so.

Several posters have answered you. Go watch a top high school team play. Done.

Next topic.

Need team year and color, since there is no apparent relationship between color and team level at Barca. There are several teams that match HS level.

Did you read the post? Barça moves players around. Next you will want names, birth years and jersey numbers. The same player may be on blue one week, gArnet the next. You may find him on 2003 or 2001. This is an cademy style club. But if you watch the teams, you will be able to tell.

Can't pin it down, huh? OK--maybe the players have magically morphed into C level players as well. The fact that you can't provide something as simple as which team the alleged DA players are playing speaks volumes.

If SYA would like to go out of their way to spy on teens, that’s their prerogative. To me that seems like the best way to get them to just dump that program for Barça. There’s more than enough talent in this area to go around.

Define best team? First team <> best team, winning team <> best team. Everyone has a reason to change clubs and I think the whole idea of being a part of a winning program versus developing a good player/young adult is debatable, most will probably stay in a crappy situation until they figure out it's too late, when their kid tells them they no longer love the sport. For the record, there are plenty of SYA bags on the 06s.

2006 girls or boys? It makes a difference. Thanks.

And this is why earlier when asked the question "what top teams are the kids from?" is asked it goes unanswered. There are lots of kids at Barca double dipping and not all of it is necessarily sanctioned by the players home club. So, in those few cases I'm pretty sure the player and parents would not want to be ratted out on some stupid message board.

So, the answer is none of your business.

What prevents SYA from coming to check things out now that they can read it here. Or maybe they just don't care. Again, are we talking girls or boys? Or is this more hot air?

If you want to know then go out to Evergreen yourself nobody is obligated to tell you anything.

Fair enough. And I imagine you'll retract the false claims of A team and DA players defecting to Barca as well, right? Probably not. So if you keep blowing the hot air, others can keep asking questions which you don't seem willing or able to answer. This board is not an advertising agency for your club.

Wrong tree you're barking up. I never made such a claim. I'm the one who said that no online "proof" on an anonymous message board would satisfy your skepticism. I could say that my kid is one of those who went there from an A team and you would ask for more info. Again, there are lots of clubs, ALL of whom have a A team. Kids leave clubs all the time to go to other programs for many reasons. Believe it or not, people do in fact leave aven A teams for other clubs. This is not at all debatable or even interesting. That you seem to think that no kid would leave an A team for Barca is what is strange.

No claims were made that the kids were on Top club A teams previously, other than the post about VDA kids. I have personally seen some kids from VDA train with Barca. Keep in mind that Barca also offers a part-time program.
