School boy football can't stand up to the ODP or travel prem. teams in the US. At the same time these teams are a notch below that of the youth teams of S.america and Europe (because these continents have their clubs taking the responsibility of devloping their players).
I can recall fighting with at club meeting with a parent (who was manager) for registering the team ( I was developing) in a rec summer league. My contention was that the standard was low and not up to par with the regular travel teams. I warned them that this would lull the team into a false sense of security (won some decent trophies and the people in queens were impressed, I kept complaining all the way . Rec leagues are for those who have a casual interest in the game.
