      Did someone turn off the lights on you bro? You sound a little weird. I agree thread has wandered off topic. Anyone know how FSA FC is conducting their 4 person trainings?

        each team is broken up in to groups of 4. There is 4 to 5 groups per team per age group. They train 1 hour 2x a week. FSA is using their indoor fields and outdoor lighted fields. Each half a field has 1 group and each field has 1 coach. Every group regardless of level, ECNL to CT is having the same training session. Everybody is doing the same thing. u12 and under and u13 and up have different sessions.

        Seems like a ton to manage and I think they are doing just find.

            Every age group has at least 2 teams and some have 3 like the 2008s

              With 21-25 players on each team, like they did preCovid?

                Honestly most of the teams are at 18 or smaller. Of course some teams have a few more.

                Dont hate!

                If youre on a roster of 18 or more go out and earn your time

                  Good for them. Parents should be grateful to FSA , CFC, Oakwood and many other organizations that have been there all along. Without them, soccer here in CT would still be in the dark ages.

                    Thank you!

                    Just like your employer everybody is doing what they can

                      Wait, these are the light ages for soccer in CT? Yikes!

                        NO!

                        the light ages were 20-25 years ago sadly. When there was only about 8-12 premier clubs in the entire state. Clubs didnt have 2-3 teams per age group. Teams and leagues were not watered down and when winning cups is what mattered.

                        Plenty of players still went on to play in college. Money changed everything.

                          "premier" started to aggregate the best players from each town onto one team. SCP back in their glory days would literally pick up the best kids from each town in NH county. People then found ways to make profit on the concept and dozens of clubs were launched. There were seniors in our town that have played club since U11 and never started in a high school varsity game. That literally tells you everything you need to know.

                            I didnt say all the teams were amazing.

                            From my experience, Oakwood dominated most if not all age groups boys and girls.

                            There were times when SCP had strong teams.

                            Then CFC created the girls side

                            Then West Hartford premier was born by taking all the kids that didnt make Oakwood

                            Oakwood vs. West Hartford were always tough games and made things very interesting.

                            If I remember correctly there was also:
                            Southeast
                            Guilford
                            SCP
                            Monroe
                            West Hartford
                            Eastern
                            Oakwood

                              So? What’s wrong with that? It’s a free country, for now a least. People pay for their children to go to Private School, and children in a Public School may end up at a higher thought of College.

                              The purity argument , the “ watered down “ mentality is old and dated. Children need to have any and all opportunities available to them. By choice is optimum. The more options available , the better chance each and every child may find their place.

                              Don’t like it? Don’t participate. Pretty simple.

                                The market is already starting to correct. Parents are catching on you are starting to see the truly inferior clubs like NEU, Simmons, Academica, Shoreline, SCP and others under major pressure or in some cases are folding.

                                The watered down mentality is absolutely true. There is nothing elite about club teams populated by players that cannot impact high school games. The only winner is the club owner that collects a $3000 check from you. Your snowflake attitude puts money in these people's pockets and that's about it.
