If Bucks care so much about the kids and families have they told you that you're getting a refund on your fees for the spring season, especially everything you pay for your coach who will be paid for doing nothing?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWrong. All Bucks cares about is $$$$ and not doing anything for it which is why they haven't provided any training drills/workouts, whereas the other clubs care about the $$$$ which is why they have given drills/workouts for free? What you are saying makes no sense.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostReally hoping there will be a lot of kids at tryouts - half the team is leaving - need at least 10 talented kids to bring the roster to 18. Start recruiting peeps, never to early it might be hard to convince people in this economic climate to spend 10k on soccer.
The reality is, the roster of this team currently sits at 15, 16 if you count the original BRD girl who got hurt who was going to be part of the roster in Spring. This team is going to lose at least 4-6 players who are fed up with the RF/BB situation, lack of consistent training and who realize that playing elsewhere is a better value. Depending on the economic climate, this team could lose a few more on top of the 4-6 because parents simply won't be able to afford its whether they want to or now.
Most real ECNL teams carry upwards of 21+ players including 2 GKs. This allows teams to still compete if there are injuries, which will definitely occur at this level - and will likely occur at a higher rate due to no strength training and ACL prevention training offered by other clubs, sickness, college visits and other reasons why players miss games week to week.
This means this team would realistically need to add at least 10 new players, but probably more to field a full roster. The question is where are these 10 players going to come from?
Most clubs would turn to their "B" team - and at most clubs "A" and "B" teams would periodically train together and be more integrated than they are at FC Bucks, so the transition would be easy. At FC Bucks, the "B" team is the RL team, and many of the players on the RL team have no interest in playing for RF and BB, having done so already. The RL team is also not very good. So maybe a couple players are convinced to join the ECNL team, but the players aren't going to be very good, they aren't going to improve this team, and if anything, will weaken it. But no way are you getting 10+ -so the rest need to come from other clubs.
As far as other teams, does anyone thinking logically and sanely think that somehow, we are going to be able to get 10+ decent players from other teams, given the economic situation and given the reputation of this team being a total and complete **** show. We certainly aren't going to get 10+ top players. Maybe - and it is a big maybe you convince 10+ weaker players from other teams - but again, this won't strengthen this team at all and will only weaken it.
If you have any sense of logic, you will realize that this team is skating on thin ice and is very very close to folding. I know people will come on here and say it will never fold - but those people are ignoring basic math and reality. I am not saying it will definitely fold, but the likelihood that it does seems higher now than ever and more probably than it not folding.
Hopefully you have a good Plan B!!

Sports in this country are going to be postponed to late fall from what I hear.
It sucks but the virus must be defeated first.

Very good chance big turnout at tryouts. This is the year many top EDP players move to ECNL. Luckily FC Bucks is one of very few options. But we’ll have to wait and see.

People are getting smarter and at the same time because of the economy getting poorer -both spells doom for this team.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSeriously though does a kid who is playing at this level really need their coach or club to provide training videos? Where is the self motivation? These kids should be doing drills where they are touching the ball 5000 x's in 20 - 30 minutes on their own everyday anyway. So if your kid ain't putting in the work she is the one to blame. Now with that said, the coach should reach out to the time even if it's just to encourage the kids. The club as a whole can't force kids to work out on their own but they could encourage it by holding contests or just asking kids to send in clips. It also wouldn't hurt if they put up a training library on the website. Some clubs are even reviewing game film at their normal practice times to teach tactical aspects. I am aware of one club that broke down last years champions league final and used that to teach tactics, and they also put together a package that shows player movements for every player on the field. Things like that are valuable. A full blown virtual training package via apps is a waste of money. Really though it's all about what your kid is motivated to do on her own.

Any real athlete knows the drill as does his/her family.

I can only speak for myself coming from EDP. Very interested in this team. Some good players. Just need a scorer. We’ll be at tryouts.
