Can’t blame them. It was/is a nothing club.

How does this benefit Seacoast?

The previous owners get to cash out $$$

At least for now, no changes at all for the players. Long term likely the same but time will tell.

This club is in a bad place soccer-wise. They are being propped up by their other sports to remain in business. The boys are still good and north of the Revolution, best around. The girls, however, seem stuck.

They are in an identity crisis-do they want to build a winning program to make them more interesting for other players looking to come in? Or are they pushing the college angle and hope that does it?

Right now they are going with the latter-give all their attention and press to a very select few players and let the rest wallow and fend for themselves. It’s already caused some players to leave and more will be following. Not sure they care if they have a full roster of tuition (sometimes referred to as ‘players’) and can tout a few commits. That appears to be how they are measuring success right now. I can’t see that being sustainable.

This has been the case since 2008 - 2009. SUSC has been on a major downward slide in the girls game. They are stuck. The model is now old and tired. Everyone has figured out the difference between elite, select, and premier... you pay the same $ for lower quality regardless of the label. The Developmental Academy experiment was a miserable failure on the girls side and they lucked out that US Soccer killed DA when they did because it saved SUSC prolonged embarrassment.

Here is what they should do:
Instead of running their own programs in soccer, they should manage and operate the facilities. Axe the teams and allow the local competing clubs to absorb and compete for the talent. Sounds crazy huh? Nope. Here's why - the waters of NH soccer is so muddled with mediocre talent being propped up as elite and select, that its creating a false sense of accomplishment. The girls side of SUSC already struggles to compete with FC Stars, Cap Alliance, and others on a talent level. Get out of the competing for a SUSC watered down pool of kids that have other options with superior coaching.

LOL Cap Alliance…..

Comments like this are why nobody takes
this place seriously

Gets girls who want onto D1 college rosters. FSU, BC, BU, Sacred Heart, Drexel, etc.
