They're the ones investing in players.

good think they aren't investing in the stock market because they would do very badly

Oakwood was better off in their old NPL leagues. This is just pathetic

For the boys side, it's still a viable path. Good reputation and kids are getting looks from all of the local schools and doing well while they are there.

The girls side is an entirely different discussion. CFC is a powerhouse on the girls side. CT is a small state and every major college knows that. Academy hasn't made a dent in that. Look at the recruiting for the rising seniors. I have faith in OW but I don't see the tide turning on the girl's side.

They can't fix the NE GDA, just operate as best they can in it. They don't have other options, for now (it's always changing every few years). MLS separation or possible total departure by MLS clubs will hurt BDA also.

Given these developments, OW should put a call into Hartford Athletic and merge operations. OW/HA together would make a better case to USSF, and place OW among the pro clubs group of the DA.

Yes, because HA is a sick club in the landscape of big boy soccer .... USSF has never heard of HA and couldnt care less ... affiliation is stupid .... OW would be wiser to partner with Glastonbury Travel to reinforce their paycheck pipeline.

Does anyone know what’s up with the 19/20 Boys DA schedule. They have posted a fall schedule as “Boys DA Cup”. Oakwood grouped with Beachside, Bolts, and Seacoast for home and away fixtures for the fall. If you look at Revolution they are grouped with NYCFC, Red Bull’s, Union, DC United, Baltimore Armour, Bethesda, PDA, & Impact.
Did they finally go to a two tier alignment for DA to keep MLS from pulling out?
Very interesting as I have not seen any post or announcements about this.
USSF trying to quietly make wholesale changes.
Waiting for the s@$t to hit the fan.

The BDA 2019/2020 schedule has not yet been posted.
Nice try. Dikhed.

Looks like someone didn’t get the memo. Awkward

That's not what Dave told us. He said MLS clubs are afraid of us ..... that is why they send their 2-year down players.

That is hilarious.

KB is being wasted at OW. He should be in the college game at high level D-1.

KB couldn't coach himself out of a paper bag. He has lucked out with some talented players on his previous teams now that the talent is not as strong you are seeing the results.
Two teams from this past season with losing records. Basically no direction just a yelling session.

Poor Oakwood, what will become of you?

OW is done. They will should be sold in 5 years. KB should leave to go to a higher level DA club.

I thought they went up for sale last year and RD and DF were retiring? What happened that you now think they have another 5 years?

Five? You're far too optimistic.

Sporting couldn’t afford the price
