      A few years ago one of the angry soccer moms did a very detailed report of DAP starters/subs that showed Bolts were rock bottom in terms of non-starters playing time. Chosen 7 get 90 minutes, other dozen fight for scraps but bench boys are NOT developing. This all comes from BA, basically admitting non-dev. Gap between starters and subs is not that wide, especially after playing 70-80 minutes.

      Someone else pointed out they rostered 14 for that game so if the extra 3 aren't good subs just because of bad luck that day, what does a coach do?

      BA does suck tho.

          Read the game logs, same story year after year, game after game. Bolts don't give a **** about development. BA is as dumb as rock and a certifiable lunatic. Hard to believe that guy is still ****ing up a club after his catastrophe at NU.

            If you want to play D1 soccer go to the Bolts.

            If you want to play D3 soccer go to GPS.

            If you want to move to Portugal and become a fisherman go to the local MLS club.

              Wisdom from a guy who can't hold a coaching job at a D1 school if his life depended on it.

                  Sad but true. BA has hurt more kids than he's helped. Abusive and certifiably insane. Needs to face his own demons rather than projecting them onto the players. Feel sorry for his own kids.

                    OK, that's a bit harsh.

                    However, it does seem to be the general coaching mentality at the Bolts. Yell but don't teach them what they are doing wrong. (Not all the coaches. But a high %). I'm ok if my kid is yelled at for doing something wrong as long as they teach them how to fix what they are doing wrong. If a kid keeps doing it then sit him/her until they figure it out. If another kid does the same thing wrong then yell at both kids, not just one.

                      It must be try out time. This is the weakest thread ever. It actually makes me feel sorry for GPS and NEFC.

                          Kids don’t pay the bills. You may want to take a long swim in Lake Me skippy.

                              Bolts provide a pathway that few clubs can match (NEP--> ECNL--> Academy). But the problem is that the coaching is sub-par (there are a few good coaches but not a high enough percentage for a club of this size). ECNL is a joke...Bolts are so watered down that the ECNL teams usually lose to the NPL Super Group teams and ECNL travel isn't worth it.

                              Overall, its a business and they don't care about the players. If you can find a good coach then you should spend your money at that club. The grass isn't greener on this side.
