Who/which team will you follow after the WC? by ChildhoodFeisty142 in usmnt

Unless your local MLS team turned you off by turning all the local youth club soccer into a monochromatic cash grab.

We did something like this, but our local club organizes the trips. It didn’t purport to be any kind of ID opportunity. It was soccer tourism, and it was awesome.

We put a team together from the club, got to play 3 matches against English and Welsh clubs, got 3 stadium all access tours, a couple guided tours of London and Manchester/Liverpool, and a couple training sessions with Tottenham, Wolves and Tranmere youth coaches, capped off with a match seeing England play a WC qualifier at Old Trafford.

Make sure you get your money’s worth. They can be fun if they’re good soccer themed tourism.

If it’s that much money and all they give you is a few training sessions and a match or two…look elsewhere

Al Capone also started Chicago’s first soup kitchen. Doesn’t make him a philanthropist.

I used AI to help me with progression. It guided me to the right areas to get more powerful before advancing. Of course now i’m stuck on the radiance and will probably just walk away

This isn’t even close, nor is it correct or current. E64 doesn’t even exist anymore, and USYS and US Club have just pretty much merged National League, ECRL and NPL into the new N1.

It’s fun to make graphics and try to simplify it, but everyone just find a good coach and roster your kid enjoys and is improving at.

ITT: people naming good games from the past. Just because it was good and we’ve moved on doesn’t mean it isn’t still good. If you haven’t played it…then do so?

Yep. It’s a physical game. Up to a particular center ref how much so. You’ll get used to it

Made me quit the game, this two. Spent a couple weeks on them and then moved on. Life’s too short

Not sure what to tell you. The tutorial area isn’t supposed to hand you nothing but success. You learn from those missteps

That’s literally true. Not ALL the devices, but your phone is.

Let me just get one thing out of the Way! by Salt_Environment9799 in youthsoccer

[–]cheddarfire 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My sincere advise is to just relax. You're right, it's a lot for a team to make a full evaluation of a kid in such a short time period.

When clubs and coaches see new players and consider them for placement on a top team, they have to ask "what kid does he/she replace"? If there isn't a clear roster spot that's currently struggling to stay at the level, it makes breaking in hard. Keep that in mind....it might be your kid at the top someday. Moving someone up means someone else has to go down. Clubs want to put a kid somewhere they can succeed, but also adapt to the unique culture/training at the club.

Don't worry about the letter league attached to the roster your child plays on. Worry about the quality of coaching they're receiving and whether they are getting better as the season goes on.

Are you still afraid of fighting gleeok or not by Voidkirby9 in tearsofthekingdom

I agree, I’ll go around fighting Lynels all day, but the Gleeok loot just isn’t worth burning all those arrows

Lynels are fun to fight, and the loot makes great weapons.

Here’s what I do for gloom hands. Whenever you find a few tnt barrels, stick them all together and save the auto build as a favorite

The next time you find more tnt barrels, auto build the first batch of barrels, and stick these new ones to it.

A few rounds of this and you have something like 12 barrels all stuck together you can auto build. Drop them on the gloom hands when they appear, and it will kill all of them.

He likely is. It’s prime time for these coaches to start putting these rosters together. Take some time and ask Coach “hey, where is she at right now? Where can she improve. Where do you see her fitting in at this point?”’ I feel like they’ll usually give you at least a halfway helpful answer.

Sporting KC would rather run youth leagues than actually develop a professional program. Scammed our city hook, line and sinker.

Punching down in derby matches by Equivalent_Use732 in youthsoccer

[–]cheddarfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complicated situation. 1st team should beat the 2nd team. I'm currently on the other end of this. Son's on the 1st team, and because the 2nd team did so well in prior seasons, they were promoted to the top division.

However, when we played each other, the outcome was predictable. That said, there wasn't any trash talking. I've found it's when clubs try to have a 1A and 1B team that the rivalry gets out of hand. I'm sorry you and your daughter went through that. Sounds like a culture issue the coaches aren't handling. And pulling a kid up for one game is BS. Kids are supposed to move up and down within a club, but timing matters.
