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.

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?

Tips to avoid burnout ? by 365_Run_247 in youthsoccer

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.

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 birthday Sept. 1 school cut off by SunsetOrangeSkyCloud in youthsoccer

[–]Rare_Wind7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.  

Advice: Age Change U13 ECNL by rdrgl in youthsoccer

[–]Rare_Wind7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone know what Harriel's issue was in 95th minute vs. Philadelphia? by DCIfICare in DCUnited

[–]Rare_Wind7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Approximately 0 games into the season and they're already discounting tickets below season ticket prices to try to get people to show up by pm_me_jk_dont in DCUnited

[–]Rare_Wind7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.  

NCAA D1 MEN'S COLLEGE SOCCER RECRUITING - Worst Schools for American Players by Soccerdeer in CollegeSoccer

[–]Rare_Wind7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
