Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBolts provide a pathway that few clubs can match (NEP--> ECNL--> Academy).

Overall, its a business and they don't care about the players. If you can find a good coach then you should spend your money at that club. The grass isn't greener on this side.
Bolts 2003 ECNL lost 0-1 in the State Cup Semi-Final.
Bolts 2004 ECNL won 2-0 in the State Cup Final.
Bolts 2005 ECNL lost 0-2 in the State Cup Final.
Bolts 2006 ECNL lost 2-5 in the State Cup Semi-Final.
These are Bolts 2nd teams. You may want to rethink your unsupportable position. Where other clubs have 1 solid team per age group the Bolts can offer a truly top team + a 2nd team = to other clubs’ 1st teams.

An ECNL team losing in the state cup is a joke. Especially losing in the semi-finals. ECNL is supposed to be high above NPL (that is absolutely how it is portrayed). The Bolts (and Stars) teams lose constantly to the NPL teams.
You can't use the state cup success (or lack thereof) as a measuring stick because it isn't an accurately competitive comparison. Go to www.boysecnl.com. Look up each age group in the standings. The highest the Bolts had a team finish in ECNL was third (and one team finished as low as 12 out of 14). The 2003 team had 5 kids quit the team throughout the season. What does that say? I think my position is very supportable...from experience. You just can't see the bigger picture because you are a Bolts fanboy.

Every ECNL team from 2006-2002 made the State Cup semifinals, or finals, and the 04 team earned a State Cup Championship.
The U14, U15 and U17 DA teams all finished higher in the standings than the Revs Academy.
The Bolts have a U23 team and a USL2 team that roster college players in their off season so they can stay match fit ahead of the fall NCAA soccer season.
What am I missing? Is there any other club that can offer a complete pathway from U-Little to USL2?
Do you honestly believe there’s a club out there with wonderfully qualified coaches toiling away for low wages in the NEP? The quality of coaching at the younger ages, for the lower level teams, is perfectly adequate across all clubs.
Keep trying to malign the Bolts. You’re terrible at it. Facts keep getting in your way.
