Tbu staff is in LA and posting on the club Twitter site to make the membership think they are there for our kids. Would love to see how much of the clubs money was wasted on those clowns to make it their vacation. I really think the club thinks the parents are stupid.

Who cares...
Fees are the same at TBU then the small club we came from and we have had 3 times the amount of games already and much more success.

We're very lucky to have several TBU club leaders connected at the National level with coaches around the Country. I'm amazed at how that network is paying dividends now that our daughter is being recruited by colleges. I'd say send more coaches to the Conference next year!

They are probably going to meetings like:
How To Lie To Parents And Get AwayWith It
How Many Practices Does A Head Coach Have To Attend
And
How To Play The Sucky Kids when Their Parents Pay You Extra

Can't blame the club. They know the reason people spend so much on soccer club stuff is because parents really want their kids to play soccer in college. I've never understood why this is - the money and time spent can't justify it - the scholarships just aren't that valuable for most players. But it does create a lot of pride for parents and a feeling of success for the players, so I guess that's worth a lot. It just depends on if they are going to look back on it all with fond memories I think, and then it is a very expensive and time consuming fond memory. Practically speaking, it only makes sense for the kids you can't keep in the classroom because they just have to be out playing soccer. The ones who love soccer so much they don't care about better paying futures. For the rest, it might be a fun time in college, for most it will be miserable because they won't play. Don't blame the club, they are out in California making connections to get more of your kids in college programs, because that's what you want. And they are there to grow the soccer business which is what they want. That's what they need to be able to advertise to keep the club growing and attracting better and better players.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBhahahahaha.... you think because the TBU brass is in LA it improves your chances of playing in College? You really are stupid, if that what it takes why train? Why apend money for tournaments? I mean if a College coach needs a player to make his team good and it's between a good player and your average player you think he is taking average? Why because TBU hung out with them??? Keep drinking the Cool Aid
All things being equal (or even close), if you don't think having some rapport with the college coach, and knowing they can call the club coach who will shoot straight about about a player on all of the intangibles that matter, you are quite the fool.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCharlie Slagle, the TBU CEO attended because Charlie became president of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) in January of 2017. The NSCAA has a membership of 30,000 and is the largest coaching association in the world and are holding their Annual Meeting in LA. As a TBU parent I am quite fine with him and others participating in this conference.
