Depends on the age group…Originally posted by Guest View Post
but over all..better training, league play, and facilities at CSA.
some teams and coaches are good at MFA shore though. So it all depends on the age group. -
facilities: CSA for sure
coaching/training: depends on age group
admin/cost/transparency: not CSAComment

Playing time is an issue at CSA.Comment

How does the landscape change if either MFA - Shore, CSA, or PDA-Shore gets the ECNL badge? PSA has no shot of getting it.Comment

Neither do either of csa or mf shore. Both "academies" are win first which means it's do what you have to do to win the game and that results in a very direct style of play. It varies by age. Too late now but best to go watch the specific age group play to determine style of play, bench size, utilization of bench or lack of use, try to see where your kid fits in skill wise.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

I think the only shot of a badge at those 3 is if PDA as an organization makes a strategic decision to change their internal structure and pass their white badge down to the shore and maintain 3 different clubs each with ECNL and ECRL badge - Blue, South, and White (now shore).Originally posted by Guest View Post
I think this is a long shot because let’s be honest - shore does not have a staff lined up (nor the does match fit shore), doesn’t have good/any real facilities (nor does match fit shore), don’t have second teams (nor. Does either match fit shore or Csa with great consistency), and it would be a real from the ground up decision that would upset parents currently at white as well as take shore a few years to be competitive at all (same for both match fit shore and csa who would be mid to bottom of the table in the large majority of age groups). Look at ukies results coming over as a perennial power in GA conference - 6/11 in 2 2013,2012. Their 2011s who played Ga last year were 3/12 in GA and finished first season of ECNL 7/11.
On the flip side, it would decimate match fit shore and cedar stars, so that would be a strategic decision on PDAs part to take out competition in an area that much of doesn’t have an ECNL team under an hour geographically.Comment

I hear they are making a "Monmouth Select" from all of the clubs that play down there.Comment

PDA Shore gets ECNL from white. Numbers would improve at Shore to get the 2nd teams or Do they keep white ECRL in zarapeth?
MFA. Shore only move to survive would be ECNL and make Mercer their ECRL unless shore’s numbers double with ECNL badge.
CSA would rot away.
all hypothetical and good gossip.Comment

Yes - very hypothetical. I work in strategic development and expansion and it is an interesting territory without understanding current roster demographics of ECNL and GA teams that border the shore and southern shore area. The opportunity for PDA to move largely depends upon their current rosters. By moving they could essentially be eating their own and not have much to gain if they already pull the best from this region.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Highly unlikely, but more likely in my eyes than a 5th ECNL badge in the state.Comment

Not if your kid is good. If that was or is your experience then…..you can fill in the blankOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

Genuine question. Do people judge where they send their kids based on facilities?Comment
