All indoor. That’s how the FP arena is getting their cut.

There’s not enough room in there for all if the teams to play league games

Haha. Those aren’t separate fields.

Even still, I think they’ll be ok scheduling games provided the dome wasn’t planning on running other sports in there in the fall and spring.

So many people worry about fields. All those clubs in that area have limited field space, nature of the beast. Have four teams per age group and you’re sharing a third of an 11v11 field with two coaches and 40 kids. Having access to indoor facilities is always a bonus for rain outs and winter. The youngest teams at CFC were very good (Festival and 7v7) , if they’ve all managed to move across, which I doubt as think the Red Bull’s program may have lit stars in some parents eyes (which I don’t get) then it’s definitely a program I can see getting stronger each year. Hopefully they don’t just look to recruit like most teams in that area and actually develop what they currently have as really could be on to something with those kids.

And they will likely need to share the fields with BBL lacrosse who practice there with all their teams also.

Going off what the coaches had available to them at Centercourt they already will have more room and space at the new facility eithen with other sport's playing/training out of the bubble. They do have access to outside fields aswell which was discussed with us (Parents) on the call they hosted last week.

We were on both calls as we have a kid in small sided and large sided and they had alot of parents on each call. Didn't really say how many teams they have but seems through word of mouth and other parents telling me that most if not all of the teams followed the coaches. As far as the coaches, same coaching staff that were coaching at Centercourt along with new additions to come we were told !

Thats what I picked up from the calls. So I am guessing they will be in the range of 2014 to 2006 or 05.
They also announced tryouts for end of June so I guess we will get a better idea of what teams they are forming then.

This is very exciting news.
