Everything Armada

She did give me the clap. Odd how you knew.

Worst soccer in the state in Jacksonville. Horrible coaching all around. Clowns stealing a living.

Armada is bad. Blame the directors at tryouts.

Armada is bad. Blame the directors at tryouts.

Armada boys teams better overall and girls teams same level as FESA who has 3 times the numbers so both clubs suck in reality.

Sure...

FESA is bad. Blame the directors at tryouts.

JC? Lost me there.

Joe Connon, replaced DG as ECNL director, after he lost nearly all games in all ages that he took over coaching, quit.

Dosent really matter. Everyone who has been the girls ECNL Doc has failed and hasn’t lasted a year. It’s not their fault, all good coaches but the talent simply isn’t there to get the results Bubb demands. I hope the new coach isn’t going all in on a move to Jacksonville. Could be a poor decision in the short term.

Talent is lacking but it is not the only issue. The issue is that SB cannot keep his hands off the teams. Most of the teams can only play a physical direct game and the coaches that have come in play a combination of poss and direct ball. SB doesn't want that. he wants physical kick ball only.

Quit? Or was he fired?

The players are having individual meetings with the new coach and hearing great things, some good talk amongst the players. Hopefully, this maintains and the coach can do his own thing.

Quit. SB was completely caught off guard, and told the ECNL parents as much.

Isn't this the same conversation they have every year with their new coach? They hang around just hoping the next guy is the answer and then the results are the same or worse. Let's just have the fesa kids come to Armada so we can build what we need in Jacksonville and take Bubb out of the equation.

Round and round we go

Quit? Or was he fired?

Does it matter really? There are 5 trash coaches that never leave FESA. They're not good at teaching kids any soccer skills, strategy, or winning games, they're skilled at pulling money out of FESA parent's pockets. They're salesmen. And they're good at what they do. Make no mistake. It takes skill to §hit on you to your face and your kid during tryouts, and still get you to walk over to the "pay now or lose your spot on the B team Kiosk" on the cusp of a stroke, your kid in tears...you slowly walk over and pay them, year after year. That's why Berto and Scotty run tryouts. It's a rehearsed dance they do every year, the choreography is flawless. And it's no mistake which age group they coach. Big kids on baby fields. One year I watched as the opposition keepers for kicked the ball back and forth to each other...the strategy "punt it deep and get a deflection". That's why they're still there year after year. High enough to earn money, but not high enough to actually be measured against any realistic situation. Having 11 year olds on an 8v8 pitch falling over each other, shooting from midfield, the following year is always hilarious when corners and free kicks can't even get off the ground and the kids can't string more than 2 passes together...but that problem is some other poor bastards problem. That's why every year that U12/U13 FESA coach is a dead man walking.

JC quit because he was tired of SB constant interference all we heard was JC was going to change things but SB never gave him a chance and the new lamb from TN will be in the same boat we know the parents are over this

New kits

Changing subjects from the coaching carrousel, any word/rumors on Armada’s new kits? I have heard they might be switching brands.
