CSA 2013 girls GA 1 and GA 2

[Guest]

I don't think it would be a voluntary choice if a decision was made at the club level. There have been instances that a really strong team was awarded a badge over the main location, see ECNL MFA and MFA Shore.

Yes, that would make sense. The difference is the MFA shore was #1 in the country and the MFA north team was very average. For CSA, they are choosing the Monmouth B team over a recently formed Bergen 2013 team, not really the same situation.

Isn’t the Monmouth B team better than the Monmouth A team though? Speaking strictly on results at least. They went 3-0-0 at the showcase in Florida while the A team went 1-0-2

maybe this is a valid argument if they played common opponents.

There are lots of clubs that have both their A and B teams in Pre-GA. NYSC also has 2 teams. It doesn’t mean they are playing GA. The B teams will be in NAL. The club is trying to rebuild Bergen. They may offer B team players spots on Bergen, but in reality, they really just want a strong GA team. A lot may change with the age cutoff change coming as well.

right now both Monmouth teams are significantly ahead of where Bergen is. not even close. If putting up strong competitive teams is the priority for the club, both teams from Monmouth are a better representation for the club. That's not to say for any other age group, or where the teams will be in a year from now. Last month, neither of the monmouth vs bergen games were competitive.

That actually doesn’t matter

Agreed. They play common opponents week in and week out, so only the team members would know those score lines.

Why don’t they post scores in pre-ga info?

Best CSA kids will end up on PDA Blue. They always do

Covering territories is the main focus. Not the results of the teams. Getting more people to wear the green. If 2nd Monmouth players want to commute up to Bergen to play in the GA league they Will obviously make the team, but the practices and games are up in Bergen county. That isn’t changing.

NAL. CSA told the parents that they’d get two GA badges, but that’s a lie because that’s not how club vs club leagues work.

not sure where you get your club v club info from, but clubs can get 2 badges. Not sure if CSA is good enough since they cannot even field NAL teams for half of the age groups (no 2012, 2011, or 2008)

even though there was 1 bracket, better teams played each other. The B team played much weaker teams

That is 100% false.

CSA Pre GA 1 had their only win vs Pinecrest Premier. They were an 0-3 team. They scored 0 and gave up 12. They were the worst team in the showcase. It you are saying they were better competition?
