🚨(San Diego)Surf & Match Fit Partner to form NJSurf🚨

[Unregistered]

We will get to display a brand that is at the top of the food chain in US Soccer, kind of like Manchester United in England. This will create boundless opportunities and national and international exposure for the players to grow and develop. Lots of potential to be a match made in heaven between two world class academies. Very exciting!

How exactly does this kind of partnership work with a club that already exists in a locale and has its own identity?

Surf and Match Fit Academy Partner to Create Expanded Youth Soccer Experiences and Opportunities in New Jersey

Surf Cup Sports (San Diego, CA) is proud to announce an innovative new partnership with Match Fit Academy. The two nationally prominent soccer clubs will join together to create New Jersey Surf – a collection of teams and clubs that will span from the grassroots and the community levels to the elite of the ECNL. The result will be a complete soccer organization focused on creating the “Best of the Best” experiences and opportunities for every age with a pathway for every player to pursue their dreams.
Match Fit Academy will become a key partner within Surf Nation, a nationwide collective of mission driven soccer clubs in the US, and will be the elite player pathway for all players within NJ Surf. Match Fit will remain an independent club and brand but will partner with Surf to create the grassroots and community foundation across the state. All clubs within New Jersey Surf will have access to the Surf Brand, Surf Nation Community and administrative and marketing tools. All players with NJ Surf will have access to the elite Match Fit brand as well as the Surf Select Program, a nationwide player identification and development program within Surf Nation. 2020 Surf Select opportunities for New Jersey Surf players includes the Northern Ireland Super Cup, an East Coast Select Camp and a Surf Select team placement in Surf Cup.
“We were attracted to Match Fit based on their leadership team, their mission driven focus to build soccer players the right way and their focus on the pathway to college. Match Fit is the ideal partner for an innovative partnership to provide an important soccer market with a comprehensive offering that hasn’t been done before. We’re excited to see how we can positively impact more youth soccer players.” said Brian Enge, CEO Surf Cup Sports.
“On behalf of my business partner Malcolm Murphy and I, we are extremely proud in being able to partner with Surf and bring their partnership model to the state of New Jersey. We feel our mission of true player development perfectly aligns with Surf and their tremendous leadership team. We look forward to working within this truly unique partnership and supporting the growth of NJ Surf.” said John Calcaterra, Co-Owner and Director of Operations Match Fit Academy
”Our entire organization is thoroughly excited to partner with Surf, as well as existing grassroots and community locations. The NJ Surf model will provide a true pathway for player progression from grassroots through to the Match Fit Academy Boys and Girls ECNL program and into Surf National select teams. The NJ Surf model and resources will allow for unmatched developmental opportunities for players within the pyramid with a footprint that will span the entire state of New Jersey.” said Chris Leahey, Executive Director Match Fit Academy

Thats how

There's no concrete details as to how. And, a "comprehensive offering" that hasn't been done before? What are they going to do that no one's done before?

Answer: are they going to give each, potentially strong youth soccer player an agent?

And, sorry, the waves in NJ are smaller than Cali. That's just an unfortunate fact. Surfing is better on the West Coast. Let's see how they do with soccer.

The MatchFit brand is extremely poor, so they need to rebrand somehow to attract unsuspecting, first-time parents with children new to soccer business.

How can anyone say with a straight face the brand is POOR?

You are right. People who are jumping ship are obviously a testament to the fact that brand is better than the club itself. Is smoke and mirrors, and the brand has been falling apart since it’s glory days in 2015.

Anyone who knows MF is aware that their only successful team was a team that came with a coach who joined the club. That was the brand, and we have a couple of lazy (not all) coaches who milk the brand for personal profit.
