Good then we agree. In the interest of "the kids" the team's coach and the program (assuming you strive for the latter classification - there's a big different) should make sure that they are represented in the SCHSSCA by paying the dues and showing up to nomination meetings. Unless of course you're missing the heading on the form which plainly clarifies that it is an SCHSSCA award...that's South Carolina HS Soccer Coaches Assoc for those wondering
I highly doubt Nike has any input on who is a generation Adidas athlete.
The problem here is that most parents, you and lvrpoo included, can't wrap their head around the previous point and the fact that it is a process that should be participated in if you want some sort of say. I honestly can't think of anything more transparent then association members showing up to meetings and presenting arguments for players on their behalf. This isn't some popularity contest other than the fact that if your school or coach doesn't participate, your player has a greater chance of exclusion. The devotion to the players is a two way street - anyone who has tried to get a child recruited to college knows this.
