3rd team plays top EDP bracket. Although my understanding is that the 3rd team is light on players so some 2014a are filling in. Probably sold as a great opportunity. We all know how that goes.

Clearly no third team. They would not share a name if there was.

Go to pre-ga schedule and then go to edp schedule. Take a look at the coaches. And 3 teams played last weekend. 3 teams for sure. You clearly don’t understand CSAs business model

Then a similar situation going on as last year. They have no business being in EDP 1 unless they have 2nd and 1st team players supporting.

Of course they do. There isnt really a full 3rd team. They use a player pool. There are 26 2013 between the "pre-GA" teams and only 10 on "EDP." They basically have enough for 2 11v11 teams, which most clubs will do around this age, especially for teams that will move to 11v11 in the Spring. Why they keep up the farce to say its something different is beyond me.

Wrong. CSA has 3 teams at this age level. Pre GA, Pre GA2, and Pre Academy 1.

None of the girls from the GA teams are currently on the roster for the Academy team. The academy team has enough players to be a 3rd team by themselves.

Some of them maybe 2014s playing up.

There are 10. I have a kid that plays at CSA, so not hard for me to see the roster. Tons of clubs do this - at U12 and there isnt anything wrong with it. They have a "3rd" team so that when they go 11v11, they can easily collapse to 2 teams. 36 is an oddly specific number to carry (eg, perfect for 2 teams of 18). 3 teams at any age group is hard to sustain because the 3rd team is almost always really bad or f'd off that they are playing on a 3rd team, so go find opportunities elsewhere after a year or two or just quit soccer all together. Definitely more common on the boys side. CSA Bergen actually has 4 boys teams in most age groups.

Then no business in EDP 1 with NJ premier, Kingsway, Deptford, FA.

scorelines this weekend against weak MOSA teams in Lacey were horrible.

The point was more about they are not using the Pre GA girls for the Pre Academy (3rd team) as was being speculated above.

There are more than 26 kids on Pre-GA 1 & 2 combined. It’s 28 counting the GKs, not 26.

Im sure thats not true either once the league rolls around. I suppose if anyone's team plays the C team and there are players with GA patches, you'll know what the deal is. Given they didn't have A or B team players available labor day weekend they were in Massachusetts, the C team results aren't surprising.

Why talk in circles???

Either:
They are receiving pre GA help.
OR
They are misflighted in EDP1.

There is no in between… 2-2, 1-0, 0-6 were the scores against super weak teams who would be EDP 5 if lucky.

The 3rd team is a huge drop off from the 2nd team. They tied to a 4th division SJSL team and barely won 3rd division MOSA team. This team is Prem 4-5 Level max. Huge mistake by EDP.
