Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWill be interesting to see if OYSA will allow this - every indication is that they are coming down hard on these type of arrangements.
However, Bridge City appears to be a legitimate nonprofit; here is a link to their registry at the State of Oregon: http://egov.sos.state.or.us/br/pkg_w...&p_print=FALSE So comparing them to SCA or similar is a bit off base. I can't see any grounds for OYSA to deny their application, assuming they can secure suitable facilities. ("You looted teams from an existing club" isn't sufficient grounds).

Demonstrating they are brining new players into the game and that they have fields. These are requirements for all applicants. It appears OYSA is now scrutinizing heavily non-profits playing under another non-profit, so I am not sure they circumvent those requirements by playing under another club.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt seems that Bridge City is heavily weighted to the youngest age groups, which I guess is better than the alternative but I don't think there is anything to be read from this other than the fact that they really went after new entrants to the competitive market. That's a solid way to build a club.

OYSA states a new club needs to open up a new marked or demographic. Bridge City is doing neither. This looks like RH just got pissed and decided she wants to run her own club without a board to hold her accountable.

Obviously the ones who chose to follow either had an admiration for Rochelle and/or a disdain for KL. Those who stayed also had their reasons. One thing is for certain having as many players that followed them is a big statement

We've seen a rapid proliferation of new clubs over the last few years and the jury is out as to whether it is a net positive for the game. So how OYSA describes and enforces its standards is interesting, at least to a certain segment of soccer geek, such as myself.
