Another battle looming for Connecticut soccer. CJSA died off as a Premier League faster than anyone could have imagined. Now they are back with a new partner, EDP. Where will everyone go?...

took a look at ccsl spring schedules, there are WAY too many town premiers in that league now. It was a good concept when they first started out in that it was generally the strong traditional CT premier clubs, but now it's all over the place (CJSA-like).

In my town, town travel soccer is freaking joke. A bunch of idiot dads running the program thinking they know everything. You may have one or two quality players but the rest just suck. Thank god for premier. My son was asking to play with better players. Now, do I think premier is perfect? Hell no. The amount of travel is borderline insane at times. But at the end of the day I can say no to it all but for now it works.
On top if it all...Im tired of hearing from you overweight out of shape "back in the day" bull**** ex players on the sideline. No one cares about your past so shut up about it.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI agree the costs are getting out of hand and something needs to be done. But we are never going back to town vs town programs for the strongest players. Our culture is too competitive and the landscape has changed too much. I think the best we can hope for are clubs that provide a good service and work on keeping prices down. The new EDP/CJSA partnership will be cheaper than CCSL. Maybe the clubs in that league will pass the savings along?
The only way to really save is to reduce travel. Both CCSL and CJSA are in state so no real difference there either. The costs go up once you start doing regional leagues. Gas and tolls add up. Out of state tournaments you can drive to; out of state tournaments you have to fly to. The higher up you go up the soccer ladder the bigger your travel budget gets.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOurs does this at some age groups to keep the premier kids playing in town .... Since they can only be on one premier team almost all of them left our town program and that watered it down even more! They really over-calculated when they made the decision to do this.
