Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhich won't go over well with current FSA families. If they take a lot of outside players they'll get sh*t for it, boys or girls teams. It will be interesting to see what they do with it. On the girls side they need more talent but with ECNL the last few years theres' been heavy favoritism for FSA players, not outsiders. If they won't take outsiders where the need it most, what's the likelihood they do it where they need it least? WUP parents houldn't get too excited about this one

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPlenty. More than we'll ever know. A kid good enough to make NT or pro some day will probably be discovered and given a scholarship somewhere, even if not FSA. But there are plenty of players out there with college level potential that will never get the development and exposure needed to reach it. Playing HS soccer is no longer a path. Club soccer is a middle to upper income sport and until we start moving the dial on that nothing will change.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWho says FSA doesn't offer scholarships? I'm sure they don't advertise scholarships, but I'd be surprised if every kid is paying full freight. Especially if they are in the top 5. If you can afford it, you'll pay. If you can't, more likely than not, they'll find a way to keep the talent.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFSA is a business, not a charity. They don't care if they miss out on some stud because the stud can't afford tuition. Everybody pays full price. Sux to be the poor kid.

A lot of big clubs offer scholarships it's not unheard of. You think you have the upper hand because you're wealthy but your kid probably sucks azz.
