Such incredible BS. Your post completely degrades and devalues the huge amount of effort exerted by the hundreds of girls in what you call “big money” clubs. It also devalues the long hours and expertise delivered by the coaches of these clubs. Many of these coaches work incredibly hard to help these girls develop and get better. Either you do not have the money to afford a “big money” club or your player didn’t have the chops to make it at one of these clubs...but don’t lump all of the hardworking girls that earned a spot together, because of your bitter experience.
Hopefully you have found a small club experience that is a good fit for your player, and she develops and thrives in this environment.
this person isnt totally off base. removing how hard the players work. not a secret many teams are the $ teams - shove any kids who want to play on the team. all kids make the team. really easy to see when you get multiple teams, from the same club, from the city, with multiple teams in a low flight - especially when one is good or decent team and the other one (or two) teams dont win a game. Galaxy, Pats, Surf, Strikers, and just about all clubs (even the small clubs) do this. Just part of the structure - and isnt something new. Been this way for decades. Some teams thrive or survive off this and others end up folding due to the amount of kids/parents who quit or move to other teams.
