    The death spiral was quick. Mismanagement at its finest and certainly made worse by top players seeking out ECNL and Academy
    I remember well - it was arguably THE club to play for. The club environment can change so quickly, that's why if these club owners are smart they never take a single year for granted. All it takes is one bad year club-wide and then they'll have a big problem moving forward.

      True it's always changing and seems to be changing even faster these days. That's why I always take it year by year also with clubs - it's good to re-assess early spring to make sure that' swhere you want your kids for the next year, if it's still the best fit, is the club wobbling.

        Ginga doesn’t need CFC they are largest growing club in CT and I’m confident that ECNL wouldn’t mind having a club like this joins its ranks in near future.

        If anything Ginga is tremendous threat to CFC and Yankee!

            Thanks u11 Parent. Here’s the deal Ginga peaks around u12 futsal.

            The handful of talented kids move on to the top leagues to take a run at college play.

            Ginga is nice low cost local option for younger kids. Will never be anything more.

                Relax, it’s an excited newbie parent. We’ve seen this before....remember Ginga man?

                Everson is a great guy and totally gets the soccer landscape. He’s pushed some of his better players to ECNL etc. it says a lot about him.

                Great fun club to be part of for younger kids but a wasteland after u14

                    Nice memories for the kids but this is the problem with youth sports.

                    Clubs in warm weather climates in the US aren’t playing futsal and certainly not out in California. So a for profit group organizes a trip where a bunch of 10 years olds play for a national title on the west coast against the other 6 teams stupid enough to do the same thing. To futhur complicate matters, the CT club pulls from Lower income areas that really can’t afford the trip.

                    Makes no sense

                    At a certain travel is unavoidable in youth soccer but at least wait until they get past braces and are maybe doing it again it wth college on the line

                      Remember Ginga dad? He was convinced the whole u12 squad was on it's way to full D1 scholarships because of moderate success. He mellowed once he realized half will quit before high school, then a few top players move up and there's really not team left.

                                Not the OP but taking 10 year olds to California to play futsal is a vacation. If families want to spend their summer vacation time and $$ on futsal then that it is great. it's not for anyone else to judge.

                                DA kids go to San Diego. ECNL kids fly all over creation. The difference is that most of them are in High school and well down the path of college recruitment
