Looks like your just spouting off a bunch of BS. The 2 girls attending Penn State in the fall have parents who would never come on this forum And be stupid enough to out their kids. Stop trying to be someone else. Don’t bring those kids into this

Actually one of them would, but how would you know??

Not sure, maybe Clarkstown?

Tell me more about this one...or is this just a random guess?

The local AYSO chapter turned it down, then Clarkstown got involved, but I heard they don’t have enough soccer balls to officially apply, however they might get an exception!

They did stand behind it and now they see what a mess GDA is so they are pulling out. Look a lot of leagues. Start off bright and shines and fizzle out. Why do they need to go down with the ship?

Has NYCFC indicated that they are pulling out? What leads you to believe so?

what a sad state this thread has become. the crabs in a basket mentality at its worst. a club where you could train more, not play HS but still be around like minded kids was a good thing. A guy who has a real track record of helping players is a good thing.

to potentially lose that is not something that should be gloated over.

as far as nycfc involvement, that should never have been a selling point. soccer development is the player, the environment and the coaching. nycfc never impacted any of that. if Claudio Reyna had provided coaches, or regular input, then i would understand your issues. neither he, nor the club ever did. They left all that to the locals. They told him to come and speak. they told him it was a one time thing and they are the ones he put his faith in.

its branding to them, nothing more. I think they stepped in to help a friend retain a foothold in 2 leagues. the implementation of the gda has not gone well in this region.

Well some parents were told that they were looking to fully fund or more substantially fund in year two and beyond. Hasn’t happened yet. Not sure it will.

Your fault for believing it. They get nothing out of funding GDA so why would they? As it is their fees are probably just break even. All youth soccer is ultimately a business. Many MLS clubs don't want to be in youth soccer but have no choice. But at least they "might" develop a few home growns for their teams that pay off down the road.

I think what is "sad" is if a pro club like NYCFC with it's name and coaching talent and that did well its first year can't keep the momentum going, what does that portend for the rest?

So do you think NYCFC should "call it a day" and shut this project down?

All it is, is a public relations stunt. So yes, i think they should just shut it down.

If they do shut it down, I think the future of NE GDA would seriously be in doubt. NYCFC and NEFC are the two leaders of the region and the league is still reeling from the loss of PDA and Stars of MA.

No loss for the Stars, honestly. They were never really all-in and were funneling their better players into ECNL anyway. Caused more harm then good.

PDA is a good program, nothing negative there.

I think, though, overall you are thinking there is a bigger gap between the teams than there actually is.

All this talk of the GDA leaders pulling out is scaring people for sure. Players from NYSC and Alby all reaching out to Susa and EM

what part dont you get? outside of the name and a few marketing opportunities, NYCFC have never been involved. what evidence do you have of real involvement ?

when the ECNL had EoY event, man city ladies were involved. Did they come to Orangeburg and host a clinic?

Yes, NYSC kids from westchester and connecticut are all reaching out to go play at susa. That makes complete sense.
