Quote: The point that I am trying to make is that it is alot easier to make a challenge team when we have 25 or 30 players trying out..Go to Greenville and some age groups they have at least three or possibly four teams at one age..That's alot of players to beat out of sixteen spots..
There are other differences with going and trying out in Greenville. When you try out in Greenville, you are trying out to play for the "club", not a particular team. Typically, the 3 or 4 teams are Premier, Challenge, and Classic. So if you're going to Greenville satisfied to play challenge soccer, remove 16 players (Premier team) from your thought process, and you only have to be within the range of 17 to 32 to play on a "Challenge" team.
Quote: What I am saying is sometimes small has it's advantages for some players..You get the training but don't have to beat out 50 or 60 players
You have to evaluate the training, and as many have pointed out previously, often times the trainer isn't advertised for particular age groups until late in the process. But again, I think there is much more to it than just "the training".
Evaluate the options, apples to apples, make your choice, and above all, be satisfied with the decision you reach, until it's time to re-evaluate.
