Isl
You can certainly argue that ISL teacher/coaches prepare young men for life etc.....but no one has ever chosen ISL over Academy...it was chosen for them by the Academy coaches

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgreed. Lots of excellent coaches in the ISL who are great technicians and teachers of the game. Many have college and club soccer coaching backgrounds and most have advanced national licensees. The best coaches do more than coach soccer they help prepare young men for life after soccer. That is where the ISL coaches truly excel.
With Academy coaches I have found that the coaching quality varies a good deal. I like the coaches at the Revs more personally but think the Bolts have a better overall coaching staff. Unfortunately a number of the "better" academy coaches with strong track records are people I wouldn't my kid to play for. One the reasons why I chose the ISL route for my son.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post"most have advanced national licensees" really??? - name them!
BBN- NSCAA Premier
Belmont Hill- USSF A
Lawrence- USSF C
Milton- NSCAA Advanced National
Nobles- NCSAA Advanced National
Rivers- USSF C
St. Georges- NSCAA National
St. Marks- NSCAA National
St. Paul's- USSF B and NSCAA National
Thayer- NSCAA Advanced National
I would have to assume that the Brooks and RL coaches have advanced licenses as well, but even if not they are clearly first rate coaches. I would bet the MX and Groton coaches have national licenses as well but do not know. All excellent coaches who choose to work in schools rather than live off the screwed up world of club soccer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostInteresting. That is not what they said to the players on another prep school team whom they have invited to join them. Still seems to be selective messaging from the DAP programs. No waivers....unless they really want you and that is the only way you will play.

It is a different world - one is educating young men and the other is soccer. It is frustrating that with the help of all these licenses, the ISL coaches don't want the boys to make a nice easy pass. The days of ISL players going to D1 are over.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post5 on your list have real licenses if info is true (wher did you get it?). Cannot compare with Academy coaches. Scales has Premier Diploma, Koolman won a National Championship and was voted Coach of the Year in 2007, Seabrook has USSF "A" Lcense.

ISL better without Academy
I see kids saying that they would like to do both ISL and Academy. I think that the ISL soccer will be fairer and better without Academy players. The Academy players are training like professionals. This is not in the spirit of the ISL The top Academy players incuding those that used to play in the ISL are learning to play the game for college and pros. This is not fair for boys that want to excel in the classroom. They cannot be expected to compete. Also I think that the Academy boys will find ISL very poor, play, coaching, fileds, practice. It may be fun to be the best player on the field, but is it sport? If you have a kid who runs a 9 sec 100 meter while preparing for the Olympics, how would you feel about running agaisnt him at school? ISL will be great without the Academy players and the Academy players will do better without ISL. win win
