SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Club Soccer & ODP Best clubs to play for?

What do you think the best clubs to play for are for kids to be recognized, SCUMP, SSC? and which levels have the best teams...

There are no answers to those questions, they are to broad and have to many factors to make any answers that would be meaningful.

"for kids to be recognized"?....i remain embarrassed for my generation of parental phonies.
our parents would kick our ass...& probably should.

Well, if you're going to ask a question about "best clubs," I guess it's good to be specific about what you're looking for. The "best clubs" for development of skill and improving as a player and the "best clubs" for showcasing what you figure you can already do in front of the most people may or may not be the same. At least people can tailor responses to the desired objective so that people with similar mindsets can get what they want and wind up with likeminded players and parents.

Start with geography. Learn about clubs within a 30-60-minute drive and see if they'll work for you. Ask specific questions about trainers and philosophy.
In my experience, the ONLY difference between the major clubs' product is all in the DOCs' (and pushy parents') heads.
If you want to drive 3 hours for the same product, have at it!

Sandman- I am sorry for a simple grammatical error that was not looked over, but i also remain embarrassed for the ease in which you and many people turn to anger and aggression to answer these questions, and for this to personify an entire generation of parental phonies? That is just saddening of your naivity...

I agree that this topic needs to be tailored down....We all know that to be noticed by colleges, it would be advantageous to play academy, but for some the distance of travel just for practices alone with schoolwork is almost impossible. My question is, with the newly joined clubs with SC united, what teams have the most professional and college geared programs to improve their players?

nothing personal was intended & you might have missed the general point....again, our parents should kick our ass, hopefully with you front & center.

You also have missed the general point...again, actually have an opinion in this forum, not just replying with terribly constucted arguments that contain no revelance to this topic...

didn't want to start a new thread, but when & why did u15+ stop playing spring?
i swear i saw u15+ play spring 2010.
i'm not in the loop.
