Is MFA Surf Mercer and MFA Mercer the “same”

[Guest]

I mean are they the same location or a different MFA like MFA Morris is. Please answer the question before you all start bashing MFA in general. Thanks

The surf team seems to be all over the place with their results, so maybe they pull in from MFA Mercer for “important games”

No, they’re separate. Surf is the club for pre-ECNL aged boys at Mercer, and the B team for any age girls at Mercer.

But if it is the B team for girls, then it is the same, no? I means they share players if needed

[Guest]

They are two different teams and they do not share players. Surf players are usually lower level than MFA Mercer teams.

[Guest]

A lot of Surf players try out at MFA but do any of them get in?

Well we played "Surf" on Saturday and this team:

was NOT the team we played. They almost surely had players from:
https://system.gotsport.com/org_even...s?team=1398954

No way a team that was losing some games big in EDP Premier-4 did this well in this group:

Not a big deal, there was no "cheating". Honestly the surf team would have been crushed without the A team players and at least this made the games competitive (you can tell because their uniforms are slightly different for some reason).

Tis the matchfit way in tournaments with their B teams. At a minimum, they show up with A team players on the Sunday of a tournament.

Like I said they are lower level. Surf players are not strong enough to make MFA. The head coaches don’t even watch the surf kids.

Match fit and Surf have different uniforms. One reads Surf on the front jersey and the other reads MFA on the front. Two different teams. Parents are not buying four different jerseys for a game. They can pull from other surf teams but not MFA teams.

Saturday the uniforms didn’t match. Close, didn’t see the logo, but the numbers were different fonts

And the jerseys did NOT say “surf”

NJ Surf is different than MFA Surf Mercer. MFA Surf Mercer is part of MFA not part of NJ surf.

This is NJ Surf

Matchfit and Surf definitely share players - plenty of MF girls playing with Surf to get wins, and Surf girls playing with MF to fill out the roster. The jerseys are similar but not identical.

Surf takes anyone, then cuts them when they bring in better players, and MF sends kids down to Surf teams.
