Quote: 1. These girls are 12 and 13 years of age. I'd say wait a couple of years before you spend countless hours on here writing a diatribe about the painstaking task that is 6th and 7th grade girls soccer. The "elite" level player is still in its infancy at that point.
2. What you're not getting is that club soccer is a business. It's ruthless at times with the picking off of some of the best players from teams and them going to these super teams etc etc. Unless you're willing to front the bill for 3 different clubs or start your own, good-luck finding the "best interest for these girls" or at least the best interests in your eyes.
3. Your point on girls ODP is well taken. It's pretty abysmal and has been for quite some time.
1. I understand what you are saying but the U14 girls are 8th and 9th graders if we don’t take an interest in them now we will lose them to other activities. Point in that 3 of the U14 girls will not return in the Spring because of other interest.
2. And this is exactly why soccer is in the shape it is here in the US. These clubs hide under their non-profit status and continue to overcharge and under provide. I am not saying I know what is in the best interest of these girls I am not a Soccer Professional or claim to be. I just know they deserve better and the only way they are going to get it is if parents demand more.
