It's going to get shut down by other clubs. Why would you let your best players play for another team?
The top TriState kid in NJ broke his leg playing for True last spring and missed the entire summer. TriState lost all their top players but one. It sent a very bad message that they would allow their top players to play for another club, people moved to other clubs.
No it's not. Very few clubs have the pull (or the year round constant schedule) to demand top players don't play on All Star and/or showcase teams. True Atlantic has (or has had) kids from top programs in Maryland, Long Island, PA and elsewhere.
If the True coaches and parents making this thread have a message to get out to people, just say it. Stop with the fake back and forth
I'm neither an active True coach or parent. My son did play one tournament on a True "National" team, but doesn't currently. But he was invited to tryout for the True Atlantic team. The registration site was explicit...the team expects kids to remain with and prioritize their current club teams.
