49ers Men's Soccer ⚽

I can’t speak to AAU basketball.

But I can tell you that I talk to parents of ECNL soccer players and they all say that soccer is the worst in terms of $ extortion from the parents / gatekeeping out the masses of potential players.

It’s frustrating because the cost I am complaining about probably does benefit my kids because it thins the player pool for them - makes them more competitive. If you let more kids have access to the upper levels of the sport they might get pushed out / down. But it’s still not right.

This is a USL Championship league team.

It still saddens me that pro soccer in this country missed the opportunity to embrace promotion relegation.

What a missed opportunity it was.
