Who ever said civility was dead on TS.

Agree with the sentiment that all clubs have their issues. My 2 cents worth. All the inter-club stuff is foolish because the club actually means next to nothing in all of this for the simple reason that if your kid has the talent and is self motivated they will achieve in spite of their surroundings and if they don't have the talent and/or are not self motivated their surroundings are not going magically transform into something they really aren't. Your kid either has the talent and is willing to work to maximize it or not. If they don't, nothing is going to push them to a place their abilities aren't a fit for but if they do you can rest assured all of these clubs will find a way to train it an put it to use. The choice really boils down to the interpersonal stuff more than anything. Do you trust the people coaching your kid and do you believe that they are putting your child's best interests in front of theirs? There is no one size fits all answer.

Exactly. Well said.

Uh, my D's Stars teams win. They also lose, but less often. She came to Stars from another 'powerhouse' club. In the time she has been there, her technical skills have grown by leaps and bounds. Are we always happy ? No way. The club certainly has it's issues, many of which have been talked about here on TS. But then, so did the club we came from. You have to decide if the good outweighs the bad. We reevaluate every year. The number one question-Is she happy? Number two-can our family handle the club soccer scene at the level of a Stars top girls' team? Soon, we'll be asking, should she give up HS soccer? (I vote, no, hubby-yes, D will ultimately have the biggest say)

So tired of hearing all of the Stars crap on this site. Every club has it's issues. NEFC is no sainted place, believe me. Parents at both places are equal, IMHO. Each side thinks their kid is the next Mia. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

Well you clearly married down. Too bad, you seem nice.

No doubt they miss you holding court by the concession stand. Of course, you're willing to share your self-proclaimed wisdom free to all, all the time, here on TS.

Fortunately, anyone who has been around enough to know who you are also knows that your opinions and judgments are nearly always a negative indicator.

These threads do get a tiresome. Take this one for example, the answer is pretty simple, the Stars don't win because they are playing in a league where they are basically in over their heads and their marketing onslaught has done nothing to bring in the level of talent they need to change that. It is a fact that their results as a club have been consistently dropping and the constant empty boasts that the club is the premier girl's club in the region is ridiculous never mind beyond boring. Who actually gives a crap why anyone would stay with that club? People do it for their own reasons and its not like them staying shows some level of enlightenment or example that others should follow. It's time to move on.

This entire board is an NEFC infomercial and has been for a long time. The first target was Scorpions now it's moved onto Stars. It's been this way for years.

Agree. The NEFC nitwits have done a fine job of tearing down SSS as well. To NEFC parents...there's more to life than you kids soccer team.

Then why don't you take your own advice and move on???

You are assuming that NEFC nitwits are doing this. But the proof of you denigrating NEFC is all over:
Who started " NEFC......Why does everybody leave?"

Here is an advice to you: Stick your "head" in the sand.

Ok thank you.

More sage advise from a parent consumed with their kids soccer.

As opposed to the club coach selling their wares?

No--as compared to one crazed, embittered parent too desperately selling its wares.

Stars are getting desperate. Imagine what this forum will be like after they get back from Florida. That should be interesting.

And, yet, here you are, BTNT: continually obsessing about a club you've long declared dying and nearly dead.
