You should be happy about the discovery players before your kid and the discovery kid are committed. After not so much.
That kid was pickled as a discovery player because she is expected to impact the games immediately. It was believes so because of her reputation and accolades, which if known by a club coach is known to the college coaches. The colleges will come at increased number AND quality to your kids games. Maybe one of them likes your kid and you therefore receive a downstream benefit. My kid was asked not to committ until after a major event just so that coaches would come in increased numbers to their games.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post8 players not from an area and not making practices seems like 8 discovery players and not fair, but if they are on the roster and pay in full then they can claim them as regular players even if they don't attend any practice. It's all a game and clubs do whatever to make it look legit.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postso how many players on WFF rosters are from out of the area that dont train? Understand the question before you answer it WFF. I didn't ask how many discovery players. Player we know from Orlando hasnt attended one training session and player from South Florida hasnt attended one training session. If you add the Tx player, that is a total of 3 players that going into week one have not attended one training session for U17 team and if I was a betting person, I would bet that all will be at games this weekend and will take time away from those that have been working their tails off since the beginning. WFF you cant continue to do business like this. This is what gets you a bad rap.

If you're not part of an ECNL team why would you even care who or how many Discovery Players were on another team?
What I find surprising is the number of FKK players rostered to both WFF and TBU. These are committed players, and poster girls for non-ECNL commitments. Did they finally realize they need to be playing at the higher level to prepare for college? After years of stating that ECNL was not necessary if you were good enough to get noticed?
