We received an offer letter, but it says they have not hired a coach yet for the team. Not sure that this is very appealing to anyone. Is anyone staying? Are there any complete or near complete teams staying?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou should contact NEFC and ask where they're playing/practicing. I bet they won't give anyone a concrete answer on that until deposits are paid, but with Surf keeping all the fields, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Mendon.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI am sorry you are all going through this. Parents seem to get overlooked and left out of the loop. Lack of transparency is infuriating. We are with a different club but have NEFC friends and I feel bad for what is happening. Parents are the bread and butter but they don't seem to get that. Coaches and Owners Egos, lots of Egos in the Soccer Club world.

Is anyone taking offer letters seriously
Is anyone taking offer letters seriously this year? Most who I have talked to say just laugh

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI'll second that. What these coaches are doing is unethical and it would certainly be a concern for me if I was a parent on one of these teams. COVID seemed to open the door to leagues and coaches shuffling which was good timing for the coaches and administrators but really bad timing for parents. My suggestion is to not sign anything until you see what the actual league looks like.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat was my exact point about Mendon. There was a rumor right before this all happened that the upper management at NEFC was going to start making SE teams practice in Mendon, at least occasionally, which made little sense. NEFC was practicing at Teamworks, and sometimes at Wide World, which are obviously open to whoever will pay them, but games for U11 and up were at Wheeler Farm. From what I understand, the (now former) NEFC SE Director was the one with the connection to Wheeler, and that field is now Surf's. I don't know what fields GPS had, but even if their facilities are now up for grabs, I can't imagine NEFC would want to move even farther south to play.

NEFC charges way to much to not be good communicators. I am still bummed that they joined up with GPS and SURF, none of that is clear or makes sense. NEFC was the best club in our state. I do think that players are already looking at other clubs now outside RI. Bayside, Bruno and Liverpool will be the only decent clubs left in RI. Sigh.

If NEFC cared about all players none of this would have happened.
1. NEFC management believes the North region is stronger than SE, evident in the PDL placement. Despite having very successful SE teams, the SE region was overlooked for this opportunity.
2. Receiving CARES ACT PPP $ helped the club tremendously. 75% of this money needs to be allocated for payroll for it to be forgiven (accountants - correct this if wrong). Interesting! Families/ players got a crappy refund for a season that didn't exist. But Mgmt was paid for sure.
No true regard for the players or teams. Business is business.
