It matters a hell of a lot to my bb who won Plano II, Plano I, & Classic III to get to Classic II. He has done this while staying with the SAME TEAM.(They are currently leading Classic II). He learned the lesson that if you work hard enough, good things happen.

Lucky you to have that great team cheers

If your bb was playing on the team that is not advancing at all while your child is working hard,
would you still play with them or would you try to find team where all players are hard working and dedicated ?

Asking this, because I am in similar situation now...

Parents should do more research before signing a $2000 contract. Their money would be better spent on lessons. But this should be discussed on a different forum-go Odyssey.

Sorry for the off-topic, but I moved this to different topic as you suggested and would really like to see you opinion there

He learned the lesson that if you work hard enough, good things happen. A lot of D1 players got there only by having parents whose egos need to be stroked. They go from club to club, abandoning friends and coaches when things get tough or the team doesn't win enough games. Many kids are plenty good enough to play D1. My bb (along with countless others) could have played for D1 clubs all along but chose to stay with friends while also getting a first class soccer education.

Yes - D2 matters a hell of a lot. Besides, Academy League parents could argue that D1 doesn't matter.

They do. And D1 college players argue D2 And D3 colleges don't matter. Pro's argue college doesn't matter. It goes on and on and on....

Ummm.. D1 college vs. D2 college maybe. There are plenty of D3 colleges out there that could pound any D1 college on any given day. In fact, there's one in Texas just four and half hours south of here that can just about whip anyone.

well i think you are somewhat right my son is on one of the better teams in d-1 and loses very little, but i think d-2 matters for maybe the top couple teams but the people talking about there kid in ppl, it doesn matter a single bit other than too the parent and kid, the parents on here should not be acting like there kids are playing pro right now and trying to figure out ppl 1 and pp2,, i guess i just dont get it?

Maybe other people should get on here and make assinine posts on a thread from 6 months ago....

Sure. Let's change it to which of the top 3 will make it to D1. Ody struggling so far this Spring. DFWT started rough but put Texans out of the running. Comets making a late season move...
