Credit to NEFC South for these points, if they follow through:
- a focus on coaching
- individualized feedback and development plans
- saying they may not have team in every age year if they don't have enough players with the necessary commitment level
- noting that players need to make this a priority, for example for multi-sport athletes. The commitment level of the players to the team and to each other is one of the key factors in having a team play at a high level, which is what develops the players.

"the prestigious Development Player League (DPL) event in Florida being a highlight on the girls side of the APEX."
NEFC is going in 1000 different directions all at once. How can one region have a completely different development/assignment structure than another region that it almost overlaps with (Mendon/Taunton)? Are NEFC Metro and Metro West players supposed to see this youtube, on the regional director's personal youtube channel BTW, and get the idea that they need to try to migrate to the South region now? How does THE APEX align/overlap/compete with DPL since NEFC just announced DPL South?
This can't possibly be approved by the higher ups at NEFC, no way.
Everything about this is wrong... the idea of it to begin with, the graphics behind the presentation, the ego-centric nature of "hey kids, our way or the highway", the "this is focused on development, the league is secondary", the naming of it, I could go on and on. I'm done watching it and I'm still cringing.
JB thinks he is a genius and everyone else is stupid. Exactly why he fits in so nicely at NEFC. That’s the club’s view of parents, players, and everybody else involved in youth soccer. So arrogant.
