Not everyone can be on top nor does everyone deserve a trophy.

Says the man who still promotes and spends money on ODP...

I guess Zizou telling stories somewhere else for real what propoganda do you to share....

I want a good story to read you can be the first to tell ForReal.....

Why won't you share? If what you believe is so great speak up and change the world or just NTX Soccer.

I'm not as good a story teller like you Zizou....everyone likes a good story...

I'm with you regarding the lack of great coaching in NTX and understand your stance of frustration when it comes to new platforms and their regulations.  However, while awarding the bigs these platforms (JDL, ECNL, USSDA) certainly makes the rich, richer and may seem that this is the primary purpose, it is not.  US Club and USSF award them to the bigs because they do have licensed coaches ... they do have facilities ... they do have a history of success in each age group.  Those at the top of those organizations know that the consolidation (there is that word again) of top talent into clubs that have those criterion is paramount to the continued success of women's soccer in our country.  

When you say "the elite who can pay for these type of platforms limits many" here, I'm guessing you're referring to people with the $ (which is a strange use of the the word elite in this setting, but ok)?  If this is the case then sure, it is unfortunate that a few literally cannot afford to have their kiddo play at one of the bigs, but there are scholarship programs in place to assist those folks.  For the other 99% of us, we can afford the extra $200-$300/month to have our kids follow their passion and dreams ... just might have to give up the morning Starbucks, 4G LTE data, or a couple movie channels.  My point being here is that we don't have to have "elite" pocketbooks if we have "elite" kids.

It's storytelling time ForReal.....Zizou doesn't have any stories to share....maybe you got a story for us.....

Big em you rock....I like that. Way to sell it.

Big em let me know when you get some good coaches at your club....I might start believing your pitch....

Give me a club I'll give coaches. This will be my opinion.

Based on your usage of the word, I'm not convinced you know the actual meaning of 'propaganda' there BBB.

And what exactly do you think I'm selling you there Sir?

Just name the Club ... I'll name ya some good coaches.

I am asking you big em it's your club.....not mine...

Dude ... this is getting silly. I have kids that play for multiple clubs -- don't own one. Please specify and I'll grant you some knowledge there Chief.

You have a story to tell BigEm to share to everyone I'm just asking you a questions if you think it's silly then don't respond.

Dial back the enthusiasm just a bit bigE - JDL was not "awarded" to the bigs by US Club or USSF

it was essentially created by the bigs


as for $200-$300/month - that would equate $2400-$3600/year.  Anyone here at one of the bigs only paying $2400-$3600/year?  not including any extra skills - just for the costs associated with playing on a "big" select team (club dues, uniforms, team fees, indoor, tournaments, out-of-town travel, in-town travel, driving to practice).  The all-in costs of playing select soccer at a "big" include a lot more than what a scholarship may cover.  

If you know a select team at one of the bigs where the all-in costs are $2400 a year, PLEASE, by all means, share it with us!     In fact, I would be interested to hear of anyone who has costs of less than $3600/year playing select at one of the bigs.

But your dismissive attitude of "giving up Starbucks or a couple movie channels" to afford select soccer at the bigs speaks volumes.  No one I know is paying $300+/month for "a couple of movie channels" each month, except maybe you.

and you wonder why people on here think you are such a douche

We need the facts BigEm not fiction story telling.....I can tell I'm talking to a brick wall.

It's not you big ern. They hate the cans.

Why don't we look at league fees, field rentals, tournament fees,and travel cost. I do believe their are many areas that can be less to help with overall cost. Good luck getting UTD to taking less!

I'm still waiting for an answer from Biggie size on some coaches worth paying Soccer Jack bank roll that can be burned....tick tock tick tock....

The real issue is the stupid parent willing to pay an F coach $3600 for their dd to play on essentially a rec team. As long as people are willing to pay for a crap product...it ain't gonna change. Can't blame the club or coach for fleecing someone that wants to be.

Big boy...you're giving me a hood buzz.

Bentley, you have not given him a club.

Tick tock tick tock.....

Zizou Extreme....you got a new story?
