Has anyone in the western part of the state heard anything about the future of PVJSL? There seemed to be a lot less teams in the league this year now that Roots was up and running. Are Roots towns coming back to PVJSL, are more PVJSL leaving for Roots, is everything going to be the same in the fall?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSounds like a few towns that were in both are switching to just Roots Soccer League(RSL) for the fall. Wilbraham may be considering the switch, which would be the final death nail for PVJSL. I have heard that PVJSL may finally be getting their act together, but it's too little too late. I don't think anything can save PVJSL at this point.

Towns have a say in the making of decisions and direction of Roots, which they haven't had in PVJSL for over 15 years. I had to deal with Lou(PVJSL) and would never go back to that! Roots also has a more development focus on the younger aged teams. Forcing the younger teams to learn to play out of the backfield using the "build-out" lines and such. i.e. the goalie cannot just boot the ball up the field, but pass it to a player in the backfield and have them build the play from there.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI heard Amherst is one of the ones in both that is switching to just RSL. Longmeadow is mostly in RSL right now as well. PVJSL is basically Ludlow, so they will be the last to switch.

Ludlow is talking about moving all their team to nsl(maple). Their top teams might compete, but would be a waste of money for their b and c teams. But it is Ludlow and they like to spend money on soccer!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI highly doubt that’s true. Some people don’t like spending money on soccer and traveling all over. PVJSL is one foot in the grave. They will not be able to operate with just a few organizations remaining. Ludlow will not make the move to Roots.
