How Are You?
As we discussed at the information night in the summer, we are a club that relies heavily on volunteers for a lot of our logistics. Our staff all work in the day, so the help of these volunteers is vital for the smooth running of the club.
For the fall, we need a few volunteers to check the lights at Morris Catholic (once/twice per week) to make sure they are working and filled with gas. We have gas canisters on site that need to be refilled (once per week) and then the gas put into the lights (once per week). All expenses are reimbursed.
If you are willing/able to help, please let me know, ASAP. We need to start this today, as we are low on fuel for the sessions tonight as I was unable to get to them last night with the weather.
Thanks in advance,
Jordan & Dom

Now next level in talent stop with the badge chasing ECNL/DA and go to a good USYS or NPL with a better coach.

Go to STA or a couple of CSA Mon DA teams or if your a HS player with talent PDA or WC. If your daughter is good that’s it. Add training without the club and you are on the right path.

Please compare alumni lists on MF site from 4 years ago to this year. Remember that at U16 there are 60+ players for comparison.

Say what you want about the generators and these embarrassing emails from JR and DB but they still have a much better track record of college placement than STA or CSA have ever had. And yes those emails are embarrassing and I am not an MF parent (one of the two other ECNL clubs) but they have good teams at some ages (03 and 05 and 07), so to label them with STA who are knew to any sort of elite level is misguided. They are one year in to the DA and making a complete mess of it. CSA also have no history in this. So yes take them to WC (in certain age groups) or PDA Blue but not STA or CSA.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgreed my kid not at MF but at another bottom dwelling ECNL club and their college commitments or lack there of the past two years have been shocking, also quite a drop off from four years ago. If the ECNL clubs continue to lack quality and results people will start looking at other options, there really is no value to ECNL if the club doesn’t have quality or even many D1 commits.
I don't know of a % of kids that join MF late (U15/U16) but I suspect that the number of kids getting to a D1 school when joining late are probably high.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgreed. So the MF guys have regular jobs during the day (hehe). How much does Dom get paid again for this part-time job with MF? haha. That man is a genius. Wow. So instead of allocating small portions of their rather large salaries to someone to do apart time duties. They ask for for volunteers. You can't make this stuff up. Dom is the biggest con-man in the area. Love it. Suckers (parents) born every minute falling for the con.
Not to mention, Why the hell are they using portable generators for in the first place! Such a scam. For the money the club takes in they can't rent a real field with lights? What a joke
