Things are out of date, info hard to find, things spread over multiple domains. So do they do this on purpose for some reason?

Yes to keep it as vague and confusing as possible to naive, gullible wallets…I mean parents -
I typically chalk it up to just how poor most clubs are in all their operations. Communication is lacking, inability to make and keep a schedule, websites aren't updated, etc. Thing is, mostly these are soccer coaches not administrators and the results show.Comment

I find that NJ Blaze probably has the best website of all clubs. But then again, what would you expect for the staes #1 destination club?Comment

These are not usually organizations full of professionals and they know that mostly none of it matters. A slick website means nothing. The club reputation is built on performance, league access, coaching rep and recruitment/pro placement success.
The slicker the website, the more likely they are trying to use marketing to fool naive parents. Why would PDA need a slick website, nevermind the RB and NYCFC academies. Serves no purpose for them.Comment

Considering the amount of time the staff spends on here vs. doing actual soccer training, makes total sense.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

so your club's website sucks?Originally posted by Guest View Post
It's sad that people think this way. The website is the first place people look to find out about your club. THEN they can talk to them about their performence/league access/... (laughed while I typed this. League access, that is coming from someone who works at a club where that is all they have to offer)
Just look and you really can't tell how many locations PDA or MFA have and which teams they have at some of the locations listed
Still wondering when MFA Montclair will have their tryouts

If Match Fit Central is fielding any teams this year:
https://www.usparma.com/
what the actual name of PDA in Sparta is (and is it really PDA or not since it is not really mentioned on the PDA site)
https://www.pdascp.com/home
Guess it is not really worth their time since these relationships come and go so quickly

I think Match Fit Central was only able to field a U12 team for ages U11-U14 in the fall (at least NL/EDP level). US Parma didnt usually field teams at every age group eitherComment

Websites today are easier to update and maintain than a smartphone.
The clubs don't care obviously but that is also reflected in other areas as well. This is just the most public/visible to the masses.
Basically a foam middle finger once they have your check.Comment

I have two kids who have played all kinds of sports for years and it's a running joke in our family how terrible kids' sports organizations websites generally are across many sports: soccer, basketball, baseball, just so many difficult to navigate, unupdated, uninformative websites it's never ceases to amaze.Comment

Yes, because everyone thinks they can make a website or simply cheap out on IT.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Clubs are run by former players/coaches who can barely cobble together a spreadsheet. They don't have Harvard MBAs. Many clubs do a website and don't look at it again for months, yearsComment

There are so many easy to use resources out there to create a site for pennies. Your website is often the first impression consumers have of your business. Have a shoddy website and it could also be the last impression. There's no excuses.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment
