Sta

That’s inevitable, quality players always seem to look for a better platform once they get to High School. Girls go to ECNL and boys to DA now turned MLSNext. I get the whole politics about getting into ECNL but what’s stopping STA from pursuing MLSNext and stop quality boys from fleeing?

Both CSA, Real, TSF, PDA and RDS maybe?

Why are these players leaving a league for another? What’s so great about ECNL?

You really want to pick that fight? DO a search, check out the websites and look at the clubs then form your own conclusion.

It’s a shame that homegrown talent is leaving for ECNL on the girls side and MLS Next on the boys side. The rich keep getting richer.

Most likely scenarios are that they elevate Tom over boys and girls or bring in someone from a PSA affiliate to run girls. Nothing against current coaches but I don’t see one of them doing it.

Who can they bring from PSA when the GA is not all it was cracked up to be. Those coaches are better off sticking with USYS.

Everyone is starting to jump ship to come to the only club in NJ that Matters... MF Shore. Once again this goes to show you that everyone is scared of us and rather than go up against us, they are joining us. Soon there will be no other clubs in NJ. Yea, it's kind of a Shore thing.....

we are all laughing out butts off.

Sad but true, is that why the coaches are leaving too?

Is Ronaldo still playing for the club he was playing for when he was 9 years old?

It's the natural progression, the better players will look for more competitive teams.

If we're judging by the WPSL and U23 coaches, their top coaches are now: Sims, Shields, Seve Hirst, Jarice Manson, Mike Bello, Roth, and Ylon.

Why is this sad and who is it sad for? Clubs all have their own place in tue ecosystem. Some are developers for younger players and some are aggregators later on and very rarely would any club be both. It works this way all through every level. It seems only girl parents complain about it but boy parents accept it. No one complains that nycfc just aggregates talent for the boys academy, pulling from 100 clubs. Somehow for girls we need cry about sta losing a player here and there to pda?

The girls side is a mess. Instead of cooperating with each other for the good of the players, clubs just come on here and bad mouth each other and try to put each other out of business. It’s a sad state of affairs.

This is probably the best post in the history of this board. Very true and very embarrassing.

No. He was taken by those leeches at PDA. He is now mostly a bench warmer like the rest of the PDA team. But, he gets the ECNL patch!

If the DA was still around they would stick around. Just like players look forward better opportunities, coaches do too.
