Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAC has gotten much better about it lately. Newtown is only for the winter months. Of course not all Real families will stay for their own reasons - travel, coaching whatever. It isn't like there aren't other clubs out there to chose from and it is a free market.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDifferent AC poster and I agree they've gotten better on collections. One time I just forgot to pay and they waited months to reach out again. But this year they've been much more on top of it and the last team note about this issue was that your kid won't be rostered until you pay up. Not sure if they stuck to it since we were paid in full, but it was the first time I'd seen such a notice

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell, communications have never been their strong suit. I wish they'd get rid of parent managers - ours this year is not very good. Very happy with the coaching and competition but the back office is still a work in progress. They've built into a solid club in 3-4 years which isn't easy
Coaching is average. No college interaction except WCSU. Agree that league competition can be very good.

Agree with parent managers for a club, for the money we're paying there should be much much better coordination and communication from club. Had better managers in town soccer.

Lots of chest thumping and back slapping for the merger of CFC Real; a three year old, money losing club.
How many people can honestly say that they heard of CFC Real prior to this merger

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCFC is going to make you think that this was not a problem for them. Make no mistake, this hurts CFC. They had a quality branch up and running. Money was flowing to the Mother Ship and Real would have gotten stronger as they grew. The difficult thing about the CFC model is logistics. Convincing players to leave decent branch teams with good coaching can be hard if the travel and cost is prohibitive. You also know it has to sting that they lost a branch to AC CT. Only thing worse for Coxon would be losing Branch to Rush. Coxon should try to reach out to Rush to replace Real. God knows the Rush coaches are fed up with JS right now and would love an offer.

Rush and JS have had some recent stumbles. Emergency Board meeting in Wilton recently questioned whether JS and Rush should be involved. Rush also much more limited on field access recently. Something is brewing in the land of Lilly...
