CSA and Crush are parting ways!

[Guest]

This is all fantasy and conjecture. They are not in the Mid-Atlantic division, nor will they ever be.

In the real world, they are in the NE division, and they are in last place at almost every age group. Period, end of the story.

for anyone who is curious to their actual level, just go a watch their GA teams play. You will see for yourselves that they are a low-level club, regardless of what league / division they play in.

Fair point but don’t pick on / blame the club, the GA as a league is still gaining its footing and so give them a few years to get settled. The gap between GA and ECNL will close in 5-10 years time.

5 to 10 years? Who the heck wants to wait that long unless they are U8? No thanks

No one. Which is why unfortunately, combined with the antics of certain coaches there will be an exodus here after the Spring.

Which side ??

I’d guess both, but Crush for certain

That’s too bad but info of splitting off was withheld by the club until last minute. Lack of info etc. , the usual.

What will happen to CSA, will they have enough players at each age group to continue playing GA?

We spoke to the director during tryouts the other night and they are all set with girls at every age level to field teams.

Crush will be the more attractive option as USYS EDP is just as competitive as GA.

Will the teams perform as poorly as this did in GA, since the CSA GA teams were primarily Crush players?
You guys can say whatever you want to convince yourselves it's ok - but there is a mediocre product at both Crush and CSA and about to only get worse with the better kids leaving.

Training at crush is good because kids are able to leave at take good spots at pda teams.

Question is: what is the timing of the move, is it really needed.

It’s pretty compelling but the travel is way more extensive than GA I believe.

Not at all unless you mean Elite 64 which they are not doing now. The usys National is all NJ teams and maybe a NY team or two.

Just not the right environment so a change of scenery might change that. Either way not a great situation sounds like it will further dilute an already diluted product. Does the GA evaluate stuff like this or is it pretty much a business that will let things be?

When would Crush likely be able to achieve the GA status again ? How long does it take ?
