In an environment where the chasm between quality of play relative to leagues is growing, FYSA can not afford to continue to settle for the bottom. The fields for some of this weekend’s fspl games are not even rec. fields. They are worse than an average back yard. Pathetic.

Agreed. Not one to complain but this is suppose to be the “best” league in Florida. How can they schedule games at this facility? Absolutely pathetic.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
The ball bounces 4-5 feet in the air on average passes. Injuries are likely because of the conditions. It is bad.Comment

100%. Didn’t see any injuries at the 8 am games but I can see them happening with shoddy gueld conditions. Holes, divots, random clumps of grass. Only thing missing were the grazing cows.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Excuses excuses. Find your game and the fields won’t mater. Those conditions make a player better.Comment

No excuses. My kid's team won 8-0. This is about a governing body that doesnt have a clue and willingly takes our money.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

what do you expect when the president of FYSA is connected with the fields?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Did I offer excuses? No, just looking out for well being of kids. Don’t see how playing in a cow pasture will make them better.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

How would a guy from the panhandle have anything to do with fields in south Florida?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
And why can't people grasp that FYSA can only use the fields they are offered. If you want nicer field for events, then get clubs with superior fields to submit applications for field use.
FYSA cannot take over fields by imminent domain you know.Comment

Finally! Someone who understands! FYSA has no control over the conditions of the fields. If it is a problem, may I recommend that you go to the county or city that maintains the fields? FYSA can only work with what is offered to them.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If you or your club wants to host games, contact Jill Hartley or Jonathan Spradley at the state office. These two want quality fields for all FYSA competitions. They made that point clear at the AGM. Be part of the solution my friends, not someone who cries in the wind.Comment

People complain about FYSA not doing anything to improve soccer in the state in one breath and then promote and vote for even more restrictive rules and regulations that tie FYSA's hands the next. Can't hamstring the association and then piss and moan they are hobbling.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The problem isn't FYSA, it's the ego-centric clubs squabbling amongst themselves that prevents progress.Comment

Ahh, the old tried and true business model, “They’re doing the best they can.” How would that work at your business? Oh wait, you work for FYSA, never mind. Suggesting they have no responsibility around field quality is like saying Ford has no responsibilities around vehicle safety.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Clearly you know that FYSA doesn't own the land right? That's all county and city.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Clearly I do and clearly you and the other fysa folks have not seen the condition of those fields. Thats my point.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
