If a player initiates contact with a coach during regular season play, the coach must ask the player if they are committed to another NEP club. If so, then the player will be asked to inform their current club of their intent to try-out for another club before any further action may be taken. Players may not attend training sessions as a "guest" whilst playing for another NEP club. The League expectation is that clubs will communicate clearly and honorably through this process.

Western has teams playing in NEP and is listed as an NEP club.

We played western in monapley

My guess is if it satisfies NEP, nothing will be done, PERIOD. NEP will be all about the clubs doing what ever the clubs want to do. PERIOD with no worries about sanctions from anyone.

Until they start cannibalizing each other and all he'll breaks loose. I would love to be in a board meeting after Stars scoop up a top player from one of it's "partners" in NEP

Then NEP will be no better then MAPLE. First test of their rules and they punt?

There's alot of talk here about recruiting. I would like to suggest it isn't happening, not by RL. He's been around awhile so I would think he knows better. A parent can do whatever they want. Here is my experience with this whole situation. I heard about the trainings, so I went on the websight and signed my daughter up. Not going to get into why. There is a new club in town. Some may not like it, but it is what it is. Just going to have to deal with it. While participating in the trainings, I asked if there would be a team for next year. I was told to check the websight and sign up for tryouts when announced if we wanted to. If there was enough interest, then there would be a team. I initiated the contact. So no recruitment there. This whole thing just sounds like alot of upset peolpe throwing out wild accusations cause they aren't happy with the way things are going. From the sounds of things now, I think it's better that some just go their own way.

They should definitely leave your daughter out of this, that is not fair. Are you denying you contacted some/most/all of the WU parents and invited and encouraged them to go to the RL "clinics" during the season? Are you denying that kids have already been offered spots and that the roster is pretty much set. Your daughter definitely deserves to be left out of this, but I think its fair to ask these questions and get them out in the open and out of the rumor barrel.

crickets, chirp, chirp.

What part of the NEP rules aren't clear to you. Parents may be able to do whatever they want, but RL can't. If your kid plays for an NEP Club, say WU or FC Mass, then RL violated the rules. Did he tell you to contact your coach and tell him what you were doing? Did he tell you you couldn't train? Have you been offered a roster spot yet? If not, I hear from my friends out west that it is too late.

"If a player initiates contact with a coach during regular season play, the coach must ask the player if they are committed to another NEP club.

If WU pushes this, they will put NEP in a tough spot as there was a pretty clear violation of the letter and spirit of the rule. First chance that I know of to see if they will do as MAPLE did and let it slide or if they will force clubs to deal honorably with one another. I am sure the Scorps, NEFC and others will be watching.

Please don't take offense to this but you obviously do not know RL. You will learn and thats up to you but this is just a warning. Very sneaky! Of course he knows how to play the game but he must not have looked at the NEP rules because he cannot do what he is doing without the approval of the clubs he is "training" players from. This rule is there to prevent people like RL from doing what he is doing which worked as a loop hole in MAPLE. Western will probably ignore it and nothing will come of it because they will claim to take the higher road.

Not sure this bell can be un-rung at this point. Don't forget WU and RL have some history between them, not sure the WU club will appreciate the salt he is rubbing in their eyes by blowing up their U12G team.

So your issue is with me. In regards to roster spots being filled, i'm sure that you are just spreading rumor and rumors have a way of taking on a life of their own. Just listen to that, it's rediculous. I did not contact RL during the regular season. My daughter's team is a current MAPLE team. I am not committed to my current club. I refuse to inform my current coach. We will be leaving no matter what. Honestly, you make alot of assumptions and it just sounds like your issue is a little personal.

NEFC is the worst offender, they will scream and yell.

It will be like a tree falling in the woods, but no one is there to hear it so it never happened. (no cell phones involved in dropping trees)

Remember NEFC is the only club to have it's top new coach suspended for a season for working in cahoots with CLUB PRESIDENT to steal players from Scorpions. Delayed in red tape by Head of Disiplinary board, until he stepped down, then even with NEFC coaches on the disciplinary board MAPLE had to suspend someone so BB got it. Since he was still coaching his teams in regional league it was really a ruse. BM and PM got a muligan.

So the story goes.!

Nope, no issue with you at all. I expect parents to do what is best for their player. MAPLE clubs and players are OK, no problems. WU players however are a different situation entirely amd most of the previous posts were about WU and in that case RL's actions are clearly in violation of the NEP rules. Good luck with your decision and to your player. I will tell you that kids have definitely been offered spots and places filled.

Our understanding was that he has left a spot or two open on the roster for the "exceptional" player who he may not know about who shows up at tryouts. Otherwise the spots are filled, he has torn apart the WU and Pioneers teams unfortunately, and if the players and parents can gel, co-exist, or even tolerate each other the team will do very, very well.

I was told the exact same thing. If you have been to the trainings but haven't been offered a spot, I doubt you will get one, that was my heads up to the prior poster who does not appear to be one of the chosen trainees or received a call. Its why this process is so bogus and unfair for such young kids and why NEP tried to stop it. Maybe he knows, but if he doesn't, he should so he knows where his daughter stands.

yes, players have been offered spots from both WU and Pioneers. anyone is a fool to think that that team is not already picked.
