This original post is clearly just aimed to stoke hatred at DB and JR. Are they responsible for the teams mentioned? Not really. Other coaches have done most of the work with those teams but it’s really transparent what the original post is looking for here. As an MF parent we have not had DB or JR but have been very happy with the program they have provided. You should get your facts clear before saying every team is bottom of the barrel. A click on the ECNL standings will show otherwise.
    Have any of these teams ever qualified for champions league? Not even in the GDA era.

      So it isn't always about winning but when it suits you, it is critical? I am pretty sure many clubs charge $3K or more a year not making to championships. So what's your point?

          Sorry but I would not compare a quasi township team with subpar facilities like PDA Shore to STA. I may have a bit of North Jersey bias but don’t think I came across a good PDA Shore team. PDA North of course yes, but Shore def not. Not even close to the likes of Matchfit.

            I guess those who hate MFA also hate PDA. If they have the time to trash other clubs here, they might as well spend that time to do a better job with their own players/clubs, seriously.
            Teams listed are average

              Enlighten us. Which teams you'd consider "above average"?

              And be prepared to be bashed.

                  You need to re-learn your math, especially statistics. PDA the girls side ranked in top 10 and on the boys side ranked at top 40 nationwide. The term "above average" include PDA but covers more than just that.

                  If those MFA teams are "average", I guess there are only 3 clubs in this country and MFA is in the middle, PDA the first and who knows what is the 3rd.

                    at least the quasi township team has coaches, fields and lights.

                    be careful when you are comparing things to matchfit unless you're ready to address the following:
                    - lack of competitive teams (occasionally the MF team is better than pda white, but in most age groups they are going to be BEHIND pda blue, pda white, and pda south)
                    - only a handful of "decent" college commits (literally if there are 4-5 players who commit to a decent college, champagne bottles are popping, red carpets are rolled out) this is light years behind any pda branch or wc
                    - real fields for training and games, with lights and maintenance
                    - coaches who give a damn (how many coaches left MF just due to covid)

                      #delusional, MFA has all those things too! At least we don’t partner with township clubs to steal players from them and survive.

                        Again one team made it to the champions league ('05's) last season. The others did not qualify. All PDA teams made the CL last season with 2 or 3 winning it all. To sum it up MFA is a below average club. Also to sum up your statement, why do so many parents and players have so much hatred towards the 2 coaches? Maybe because they run a business first and not develop players. Thats why

                            Exactly... Biden could develop these players better than these 2

                              Even if you dislike PDA for limiting competition in NJ at least they bring in decent coaches, promote their players and have the right infrastructure.

                              MatchFit on the other hand charges more, keeps 2 of the worst coaches and lines their pockets with cash for selling fake promises to gullible parents. I'm not even going to call out the player churn and general lack of trust between parents.
