Originally posted by Unregistered View PostUnfortunately this is not just a MF restriction, there are other clubs that ban outside training. Paranoid coaches and owners don’t make for pleasant circumstances. If a club offers a player what they need, they shouldn’t worry about a kid leaving. The focus should be on development and its clear that all anyone cares about is keeping their cash cows.

Stay away from Matchfit especially at younger ages. They dont develop kids. Any of the older teams that do well is because they recruit kids in. Just last month they brought in 8 kids to fill their 06ECNL team. What reputable club needs to bring in 8 kids midyear? There is now 26 kids on their roster. What about the kids that were already on that team? They dont care. Dom Bucci who runs the whole thing is just an arrogant, self serving, A-hole.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWow...8 kids! That is a lot. Lots of clubs bring on 1-2 kids mid-season, but 8, that is crazy. Without the 8, the team seems like it was already full at 18 on the roster. Did all of these kids come from the same club or different places? Are these kids that much better than the current kids on the team or are they there just to make the club $. And what happens next year, they can't possibly carry a roster that large. Some kids will never see any PT.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEase up buddy, but maybe is it that your kid is at the bottom of that list and will not see playing time or as much. Maybe your kid is not at this level yet and needs more time to develop more. No problem with the kids they brought in. They are at the level and above most of the girls that are currently on the team. Kids will only get better if they are force to compete everyday for their spots. No worries the cream will always rise to the top.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLOL. Not part of that mess. Yes the kids that were brought in are all pretty much better than what they had there. Most came from CSA Bergen. But again what does it say for the club? If they were developing and recruiting the right talent at the younger ages they shouldn't have to bring in 8 kids mid year. 1 or 2 I get. And the reason they were even able to get so many from CSA is because they were a mess and those families were desperate to get out

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell that's simple they just followed the coach over to Matchfit. Nothing wrong with that and lets be honest all clubs bring in plays.........IF THEY FEEL they can help their team win games. Nothing against it.....is it right......NO.....but when you sign that line and give your money you are at the mercy of the beholder.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCSA coaches did not go to Matchfit. Meredith Rooney was brought in to coach the coach of 06 team. She was not affiliated with CSA or any big club but she is by far the best thing to happen to Matchfit. She is a good trainer. Yes she recruited some of those girls.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOkay call me dumb but when I said follow the coach I was talking about Dominic Bucci. I have no clue who Meredith Rooney is. Is she a college coach or does she coached or coached at another club locally.
