    GPS - Legal Issues Associated with British Coaches

    GPS in the news:

    "Recently, several GPS’ top-level executives were tossed out amidst swirling rumors of investigations and financial issues." https://www.soccertoday.com/update-o...moves-forward/

    One of the issues appears to be around visa mill behaviors.

    Is GPS still in Oregon? I'm trying to understand the reason for the post. And why even mention "British coaches." I'm sure there are some amazing American coaches, but you would be crazy not to prefer a European or South American coach for your kid if you are at all serious about soccer.

        Gps is the one getting all the attention recently (including from the feds apparently) but certainly not the only ones bringing over British coaches with no ability to earn money in this country other than coaching/soccer programming.

        This is not a short-lived/limited practice.

            so many British Coaches

            Yeah, so many British Coaches at HSC ! This is stupid.

            HSC got into GPS because of another person who is on club number 2 since that partnership (HSC should have know by the track record)

            HSC would not be effected by this, they get a training program and probably a few other deal-o's but that is it. HSC is a nice club with lots of volunteers just getting kids on the field.

            There are so many HSC in the Oregon Soccer Community it is incredible, and of course there are the clubs that are rolling in the money with six figure DOC's (big six figures) for charging insane tuition dollars for kids to play D3 when they are done (or not even playing in college)

            The whole thing is nuts, but you, yes you are the ones making the choices were your money goes. Don't complain about GPS etc when you the consumer are the ones building the system.

              If your club isn't dependent on visa mills to bring over British coaches, then the thread isn't about you.

              Community clubs like HSC don't seem likely to engage in the behavior, even if they are connected with GPS in some fashion.

                Didn’t a couple of these donkeys spin off to start SCA to shelter themselves from getting kicked out of the country?
                I believe SCA is a glorified $2,200 training scheme with no games and it’s connected to RCF where these kids pay another $1800 to play there too. The biggest money scam in the area. $2,200 to play unorganized painful La Amistad crap!

                  Sorry your club's not getting that money, coach!

                    I don't think SCA is associated with Rose City . . .

                    and I don't think this is all about money.

                      SCA is definitely associated with Rose City. 90% of the players on their teams play at Rose City, they go and recruit player's from their and the Rose City coaches recommend players go to SCA. It's a big ole SCAm. :)

                        Definitely not the case. The majority of RCF players also play for an outdoor club, and have for years. While some might play for SCA, they are also at various clubs throughout Portland/Vancouver are.

                          I have inside info on the SCA-RCF connection. It ain’t gonna last. SCA parents are very unhappy with the everything that the Select teams have become. It’s clear that rcf has been slumming for players in the last year. It will get worse.

                              MJ got booted out of his prior club, took his teams with him, and needed a new club to perform his act. HSC, apparently not knowing what they were getting into, took him in.
