Hurst, did anyone at cesa make any promises to you in regards to the possibility of them joining the Development Academy? If not, then I was not referring to you, and thus, no appeasement would be necessary. If they did, what exactly did they promise you?
If you have gone to the Academy website, and fully educated yourself on the benefits of playing for an Academy team, and then wish to remain at cesa, by all means do so. I have always advocated doing what is best for your own child. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: The Academy is not for everyone; cesa is not for everyone; but the Academy currently provides benefits that cesa cannot.
Regarding the costs of the two – that has been discussed fairly thoroughly...but, if you’re talking about a player on, say, the cesa 92 boys team, who also plays ODP, I believe your costs will be very similar to Academy.
Daddy, you say “that CESA could more than handle Academy competitively and structurally.” I’ll try again – you’re making the same comments, asking the same questions, but you really have not done your reading on the subject. Really, if you’ll take a little time (probably as much time as you’ve spent repeating yourself) and look around the internet some, I believe you can find the information you’re looking for.
Letme, you said your “kid plays at the highest level and plays at a higher level than your kid,” but you don’t say who you’re talking to, or what you’re talking about. What are you talking about?
