Eagles DA?? Any thoughts?

I didn't say any or all. I said many -. There can be some great and elite players on a team that overall isn't as successful as other teams and there can be mediocre to poor players on a championship team. If you have a championship team though it would be safe to assume to me that there would be more strong players to choose from to play up with the older players in terms of quantity - unless of course it is an Arsenal team

Fair enough.

I know that the top team in my players age group only had 2 of the top 30-40 players on it prior to the U18 season. The overall talent level and the team chemistry are what set them apart. 3 of the top 8 players didn't even play on an ECNL team they played for Beach. That is the reason I say to focus on your player. Coaches recruit players not teams and sometimes elite teammates disguise an individual's shortcomings. I honestly think one of the reasons that my player developed such a varied skill set and killer mentality was that she often had to carry a really good team playing against so many great teams.

The Eagles have been a good club over the years however last year their ECNL record for the 2003 team wasn't that great. What is the forum's thoughts on how their DA will be??

Well last night's news certainly has to be a blow to the Eagles DA. Indefinitely suspending their Girls DOC, also the coach for a couple of their DA teams has to hurt. For the sake of the players and the families I hope the allegations are false. It is a terrible situation.

According to the other thread, at least one family refused to sign and their kid was cut from the team (I'm still interested in hearing if they got any of their team fees back since they didn't even get to finish the league season). I'm betting everyone else signed. There are too many families on the DPL teams that will do anything Eagles tells them to do because they think it will lead to their kid making the Academy team.

Sorry to hear that you were by yourself standing up to the jackass.

I would contact Calsouth's PAD committee with and complaint and also go to small claims court.

At least high school season is starting soon so you will have time to regroup and find your daughter a real club team. Best of luck to you and your daughter.
 
I agree with the other posters - I would complain to Cal South and would send a complaint to US Soccer as a DA club and pursue them to get your registration fees returned. I would guess that you signed a "contract" at the beginning of the season that they are violating by demanding a new contract mid year

Probably standard, I don’t know but all eagles families sign a contract in the beginning of the season that states that fees will NEVER be returned for ANY reason. What eagles did is breach of contract and they should be taken to small claims court.

That’s horrible I’m so sorry. Like other posters said you have some time nowto regroup. hopefully she can play soccer for her school and then you can find a healthier situation for next season. It’s so dysfunctional over there. I wonder how many families sat and watched you go at it with Kathleen, waiting to see if you were going to make any progress before they considered backing you. I’m glad you stuck to your guns Maldo. I think you and your daughter are going to be better off in the long run because of it

Would be interested to see the contract from the start of the year. In this case, the kid was cut, albeit for a ridiculous reason. She didn’t leave, which would likely mean forfeiting club fees. The leg to stand on here has to be “You cut my kid a couple of months into the season. I want my money back.” The fact that it was due to her family’s refusal to sign a sencondary contract after-the-fact just strengthens the position.
