    Everton tied Man City 0-0. Does that mean Man City sucks? It was a win. Perhaps the coach emptied his bench in a meaningless showcase against an average opponent. I have no idea if Ukies would beat those other teams. They lost to WC 2-1 almost two years ago and that’s the only one they played. The one player I know who moved over this year was a top player at another ECNL team.
    Who is saying the the Ukies suck, not me. Again the 07 Ukies are one of the BETTER teams in our region but as another guest stated they have NOT been "definitely better than" Delco.

      Ukies 07 doesn't venture outside of GA very often. Hard to figure out how good they are compared with other local 07 teams. They did lose of PDA South ECNL 2-0 in the PDA Winter showcase.

        Fair enough. I get your point. I guess Jeff Cup may provide some additional data points.

          Top four Ukie players weren’t there. Playing regional ODP.

            And it might not. The Jeff Cup is a showcase, shouldn't be about winning. Good coaches will not use their substitutes as they would in a league game. I'm guessing the Penn Fusion showcase will be a better indicator. A lot of ECNL and GA teams with most of the college scouts being from Divison II and III. Maybe more of a motivation to win versus showcase talents.

              pretty much on point with Rush. The better girls have left. They dont draw talent in past U12 that can play ECNL or GA. Each time likely has 1,2 or maybe 3 girls that can play at higher levels. U11, U12, U13 all play EDP 3 or 4 all finishing near the bottom. The U14 team is in USYS 2, finished 3. Only team that looks half decent until you hit the HS years which most of those teams need spring records but I think only one team above U14 was good and won a state cup a year back.

              check your facts before you talk……

                      For Release Date: Jan 21, 2023

                      For Release Time: 12.00 pm EST

                      Two Elite Eastern PA Youth Soccer Clubs Announce Partnership

                      Lehigh Valley United FC and Pennsylvania Rush Soccer Clubs to Form Combined Teams

                      of Elite U13-U19 Players for 2023-24 Season

                      New Entity Known as LVU Rush Will Host ID Clinics and Tryouts Spring 2023


                      Allentown, PA and Doylestown, PA — Jan 21, 2023 — Lehigh Valley United (LVU) and Pennsylvania Rush Soccer (PA Rush) will begin collaborating in preparation for the Spring 2023 season to form combined teams of elite players for their U13-U19 age groups for both their girls’ and boys’ teams. “We are excited to announce a partnership between two distinguished clubs that have won championships at the state, regional and national level, and produced hundreds of collegiate players during the past decade. This history of success and development, along with competing in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) and the highest levels of play in U.S. Youth Soccer (USYS), position LVU and PA Rush to continue as top Eastern PA youth soccer leaders for years to come,” said LVU President and Lehigh University Head Coach Dean Koski.

                      Both clubs have spent the last year working toward a partnership that would strengthen their respective organizations with more players, teams, coaches, facilities, and resources. “I want to thank PA Rush Technical Director Kristian Bates, PA Rush Director of Operations Sheku Bangura, and Executive Director of LVU, Greg Ramos, for working tirelessly to make this collaboration a success” said Luka Okoniewski, President of PA Rush. “Through this partnership, both organizations will work to enhance the player development process for which both clubs are well-known.”

                      In the first year (2023/2024 season), LVU and PA Rush will continue to operate their non-LVU Rush teams and programs independently, sharing best practices, with the mutual shared goals of continuing to develop players of all abilities who can compete in a variety of competitive arenas. According to LVU Executive Director, Greg Ramos, the partnership adds value and opportunity to all players and levels within LVU and PA Rush: “This partnership supports the three pillars of development - bringing together the best coaches, and the best players, in the best competitive environment - and will positively benefit all that we do, including our Recreational, Travel, ECNL, USL 2, and Adult Leagues.” Ramos added, “This partnership ultimately will improve our existing teams, coaching staff, and organizations, and elevate the competitiveness of our teams regionally and nationally, while strengthening an already robust college soccer pathway.”

                      For PA Rush, enhancing player progress from high school through college, to the ranks of professional soccer, is their ultimate goal, making partnering with LVU a logical step. This partnership opens an opportunity for the club’s college-aged players to participate in LVU’s USL League Two pre-professional soccer team, and to continue training at the highest level throughout the summer months. “This is a win-win collaboration for both clubs, and we are excited to bring our two soccer families together to forge one of the best player development oriented club experiences in the region,” said PA Rush Technical Director Kristian Bates.

                      LVU’s leading sponsor is the Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) and the Rush soccer organization is the largest youth soccer club in the world, with over 45,000 players in 50 countries around the world.

                      LVU and PA Rush will be holding joint LVU Rush ID Clinics and Tryouts in the Spring. Additional information, including dates and locations, will be made public soon.
