    The sales pitch they made to us is that we get to play on turf that was left over from Shaefer Stadium.

    How about an upgrade Seacoast?
    "Turf is due to be replaced this year" (running joke for years now....)

              What happened at the 6/18 meeting? Any clarity on what this NSL/Seacoast "partnership" really means?

                Here is this NSL supporter's take: Boys train, play some friendlies, train, play a league schedule, train, play some tournaments--win some, lose some, train, repeat, and then either play in college or don't.

                "What league does your kid play in" is a conversation starter for the same @ssholes who care about what college you went to...or didn't.

                ZZZZZ.

                  Here is the NNESL press release.
                  NNESL / NSL Press Release

                  Northeast Soccer League and
                  Northern New England Soccer League Partnership

                  Portsmouth, NH (June 27, 2018) – The Northeast Soccer League (NSL) and the Northern New England Soccer League (NNESL) are pleased to announce they are collaboratively working to create development opportunities for clubs, players and coaches across the Northern New England landscape.

                  The NSL and NNESL share many common goals including providing a safe and appropriate development environment for all players at every competitive level. From supporting community-based travel soccer to providing pathways for premier and elite level players, both leagues are expanding their efforts for the benefit of soccer in northern New England. This collaboration will allow both the NSL and NNESL to continue their development of competitive league pathways that are responsive to the needs of all their members.
                  “We are delighted to be working alongside the NNESL to create a long-term partnership that will offer the best possible competition and highest club standards for all our members.” said John Barata, Executive Director of NSL.

                  John Boisvert, the NNESL President, added “The NNESL is excited to affiliate with the NSL. This relationship will foster growth and ensure competitive opportunities for clubs and athletes throughout northern New England.”

                  Both organizations have committed to explore joint initiatives, with the support of US Club Soccer to strengthen community-based travel and premier soccer opportunities within the New England region. For Fall 2018, discussions will focus on an early season jamboree for younger teams, creating opportunities for inter-league play during the season for older divisions, and sponsoring end-of-season events involving teams from the NSL and qualifying teams from the NNESL.

                  Initial NSL and NNESL Joint Initiatives to include:
                  Coach education opportunities and licensing via United States Soccer Federation and United Soccer Coaches Association
                  Player development opportunities through US Club Soccer’s Player Development Program (PDP) and pathway to participate in the id2 program with potential for U.S. National Team inclusion. Both the id2 program and PDP are FREE to all selected players and have been granted Olympic Development Program status by U.S. Soccer Federation and the US Olympic Committee.
                  Club development initiatives including workshops for coaches and administrators.

                    Unsurprisingly no mention of NEP. It’s just another money/power grabbing step by Seacoast.

                      The NNESL has 7 clubs/towns in it. Is this even worth making a press release?.

                        When you have enough money to pay marketing people, why not? Seacoast like to make everything seem like the biggest and best on the surface (no matter what they actually have underneath). This is no different.

                          Is that what all clubs (or businesses for that matter) do?

                            No, some clubs and businesses have integrity, or are driven by a vision that is not 100% profit driven.
