Parents and players are smarter than that. CFC would be the best option for the players whose needs aren’t being met at Oakwood. CFC will have two strong ECNL teams per age group come fall. FSA can barely string together one decent ECNL team.

FSA could care less what you think. Checks are being cashed. Kids are kicking a soccer ball. Everyone is happy.

One simply does not get into OW by trying out.
It's invitation only.
I mean, one can try out. Good luck with that. Bwahahahahahahaha.

Bye bye. This kind of short sightedness is telling

If Oakwood is thinking about what is best for their girls, they will be planning their exit as well. GDA will be harsh next year at best

Oakwood is not thinking about what is best for it's girls

Nah, FSA ECNL U18s, U16s, U14s better than CFC. Well known fact.

Some of the other clubs that left stated similar- it's what the customers want. Yes ECNL makes clubs more money. But as businesses first they know keeping customers matters.

So is Oakwood out of the DA or what?

Au contraire. OW is rocking all the DAs.

two defectors showing up at CFCU practices lately. More to follow. The boat at CFC is full, going capsize

I don't think they have a choice until anything is official. It's also possible GDA limps along for another year and OW has no place to go.

Save it for the field this spring fat FSA dad.

Head to head records over the past few years suggest otherwise.

Besides is this an argument over 5th vs 6th in the conference? There’s only team in the state that’s had success in the conference and your kids ain’t on it.

Last year the 03 team from FSA won a game at Nationals and another did well in the C flight. Let’s open champagne...tool

Good article. The issue is that the options available to Slammers aren’t exactly on
The table for Oakwood, Albertsons etc. slammers is a powerhouse and has leverage.

I’m predicting this mess spells the end of Albertson. They tried to do both and were horrific in both. They opted for the DA as they were likely getting booted from the ECNL. Meanwhile another LI club takes their spot in the ECNL. Say goodnight

Oakwood in equally tough position. They don’t have the option to Listen to families because they don’t have options. They will be putting the lights out in the GDA along with Cedar Stars, Classics and that bunch. When it dies they move into NPL or EDP. Remember it wasn’t long ago that OW played in the Ny league.

The losers here are the parents that have their kids chasing this mess. Why on earth would you ever push a kid to give up HS sports for this? Talk about a regrettable decision on every level. The GDA wasn’t a bad idea initially but it is now.
