                By western mass, do you mean somewhere between Worcester and Springfield?

                  So what happened to the former Stars West? A few coaches left and took entire teams with them elsewhere? Can someone just present some basic facts re the situation for the benefit of someone like me who does not know who might consider attending the new "West" team tryouts. And I am not a troll, just new to the west ma landscape and do not know the history. Thanks.

                    Just what the West needs another club. More bad teams more bad players in the NEP

                      From what I can tell its just the name of the other ECNL team.
                      Not sure if practice is in different place

                          Basic facts, going back 2 years
                          Stars decides to open a Western branch and takes on a full time director (who also coached many teams) and a few other coaches. First year was a bit light in terms of how many kids showed up for tryouts but by year two they were humming. Just about all of the best players in the West were wearing Stars gear. Stars central loves collecting the fees but offers nothing in terms of support. Director gets pulled in too many directions, decides he's had enough. NEFC sees an opportunity, sets up shop, and pulls about 90% of Stars west players to their club. The other 10% travel to Stars central, FSA, GPS, WUP.

                          Buyer beware.... the west was a strong program with solid players. In the end it was just a money grab for the machine, and they were unhappy when they lost 200-250 player fees! I'm sure this time around it will be no different.

                            Thanks for this! I did not realize it was only around 2 years as I thought the teams were kind of decent and figured the build up to fielding decent times would have taken a lot longer than that.

                              It was around for longer than 2 years.
