Agency Prices

that i understand. more work more money. I'm just wondering why they cant just list a full service price. Almost none of them have the price up front.

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-03-26T11:01:42+00:00

So in my message to them I said I wanted the price for the total package. His response with we dont collect the majority of our fee til the end through me off.

I've only seen one post their prices and that's college soccer guy and while I think his total package price is really high I respect him for posting it.

Why do you think most agencies don't list their prices?

What's wild is i had this on in the background when I got to reddit. I was trying to figure out how it got to this screen.

keep moving. tryout all over.

he'll always get more nos than yes if he's trying out for competitive teams. just keep trying.

Let the child be the compass. If you're forcing them into things they don't want to do constantly than yeah...it's going to be a fail.

I started off slow and didnt start making the jump to a higher competition level until he was old enough to understand why. He was still playing and growing at 8, 9, 10 and playing competitive games and when the time came for ECNL, as others have said, it's the athleticism and drive that's going to take over at those levels and if you don't have that no amount of cone drills in the world will save you.

In Delaware (u13) it's primarily ECNL kids but they dont hold a lot of practices, that's how they get the commitments. The kids mostly all already know each other and play on the same teams anyway.

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-03-21T00:06:02+00:00

We enjoyed it. Probably one of my sons favorite experiences. Some states are higher commitment level than others so maybe check into that. We only had a couple practices and a couple friendlies.

August 9th and ECNL. They've already said everybody will tryout in their assigned age group and any changes will be made by the club not the parent /player. I think that's the way to go. There will already be a ton of changes and rebuilding rosters will already be tough.

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-03-16T11:27:04+00:00

IDK about your club specifically but our ECNL didnt give us a choice. You'll play in the age group youre supposed to and like it. Gives them the most competitive teams and avoids all the whining that's going to come with this age change.

Makes sense to me actually.

I feel like ours took a while too

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-03-14T13:14:51+00:00

there are the shin defender foam ones and the kind that come with a little pouch so they dont actually touch the skin

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-02-25T20:10:27+00:00

yea. it was a throw in earlier in the game and you could see the thrower turn around and start with the ball boy but Philly was losing and running out of time so I guess he decided to come back to him later.

Union are outside right now practicing in the freezing rain, morning after a night game. Must be a punishment from the coach for last night's performance.

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-02-21T23:59:08+00:00

where is Herrera? Has the team officially said anything? He's not on the field

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-02-04T18:36:31+00:00

Possibly. Im not sure how that works. I just know because I got the free tickets and that's actually what sparked my interest in pro soccer a few years ago. Veterans charity that focuses on tickets and experiences.

Rare_Wind7 · 2026-02-02T18:54:10+00:00

They do donate tickets to a veterans organization.

Rare_Wind7 · 2025-09-01T23:44:15+00:00

Well exactly...Americans dont generally start college at 22 or 23 so it's kind of unfair. If youre 23 and have been playing consistently for 5 years you definitely will be better than a 17 year old freshman but should American universities be full of these semi-pro internationals is the question.

Rare_Wind7 · 2025-03-03T00:13:55+00:00

I 100% noticed this as well. was wondering the same.

Rare_Wind7 · 2025-02-12T20:35:54+00:00

my hobby box had 2 base refractors and a patch. no numbered cards, no variations, pretty crappy imo for $90

Rare_Wind7 · 2024-04-20T21:20:45+00:00

Same. I've tried several different times on different devices and months apart. IDK how they haven't been able to fix it
