    No one can take a joke on this site - of course I was joking. LM has done nothing but drool over Surf for almost a year now, but there's no way they're getting GDA.

      How many Surf teams are even on Long Island besides the 2 that KK brought in? Stony Brook players left in droves after this was announced. Look at the sad tryouts board on BOTN, a ton of SB teams looking for players.

        NY Surf is toast

        Cedar Stars is all over the NY Metro/NJ area:

        NJ: Monmouth, Morris, Bergen, Newark, Ocean County

        NY: Orange County, Bronx and North of the City, Kings/Brooklyn, Staten Island

        They have a nice indoor facility that they own up near MetLife. They have the new outdoor fields they built near Monmouth. They have offices and professional staff. And they have an owner who loves soccer and is sharing that love with area kids.

        I think NY Surf is SOL. With PDA and Cedar Stars in NJ/NY, World Class north of the City and and Albertson taking care of LI, why would NY Surf get a GDA?

          Good analysis. It would kill Larry if Cedar Stars got a GDA spot instead of Surf

            Cedar Stars has a GDA spot. They and PDA are the only 2 in NJ who have it after MF declined to keep theirs.

              GDA won't add any teams to NY market any time soon. If they do, westchester area would be the place to put it. But, that won't be for a while. This goes for ECNL too. Already too saturated of an area with both GDA and ECNL around. ECNL is looking to grow in areas where there is no GDA presence. It's a smart business move.

                    EM still has nothing on their site about GDA. Maybe Surf is trying to finagle something with them. But yeah that's a setback for Surf in Westchester for sure. Will probably kill any ability for FCW to get into the biz as well. Good move, lots of credibility landing that one.

                      So either the NYCFC replacing EM on the GDA as "NYCFC - LI" was a mistake on the chart, or there were negotiations between NYCFC and WC and NYCFC and EM.

                      Given that NYCFC has announced a GDA partnership with WC, how likely is it they would have a second outpost on LI?

                        I'd think unlikely since this is a new venture...not only DA but running a girls program in general. Maybe Surf can lock in EM's spot since they seem to be out.


                        I posted a question about where this leaves Surf on BTON - let's see if LM posts it lol

                              The NYCFC announcement doesn't say Girls DEVELOPMENT Academy. It says soccer academy.

                              Has there been an official US soccer announcement saying NYCFC = GDA?
