Don't know much about girl's side.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Boys have one very good older team that is about to age out either this year or next. Other than that, the teams I have seen have a few solid players per age group, with a pretty big drop-off after that. If you have a son who is a higher-level player, chances are he will not be challenged much in training - or, for that matter, in games either.
On the plus side, most of the coaches have strong connections to local colleges (some are college HCs), which obviously doesn't hurt if you have a son whose goal is to play after HS.Comment

They are comparable to Cedar Stars on the girls side if that tells you anything. Very weak. The GA is a major drop off from its GDA predecessor.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

LISC is horrible. They say the training is better but yet their teams on the Girls side cannot produce. Not worth the hype.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
If you join be prepared to pay to travel A LOT and lose.Comment

You had me at comparable with CSA. STA and SSS are solid GA clubs but not so much CSA, LISC, Ukranian etc.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It never ceases to amaze me how people will jump at any opportunity to turn the conversation to "I think the girls program at (fill in name of club) is terrible". The poster specifically asked about the boys side, yet the thread has been hijacked by people trashing the LISC girls. Take your whiny-ass girls crap somewhere else, or, better yet, don't. No one but you gives a ****.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

When you spend all that money and lose to every team at the tournaments, like LISC usually does, it sucks for parents and kids. If you are competitive by nature, that environment will kill your soul. Look at the older girls teams, the longer they are trained by LISC, the worst they become.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

This is the bottom line. All these clubs on LI are the same. The LISC way is no better or different than any other other of the club programs. Don't fall for the marketing. No more transparency or fairness than anywhere else. It comes down to what is most convenient for you.Comment

I am familiar with the girls side. They are not competitive in GA - and really haven't been. Training and management has been the issue. Meghan Frey had the current crop for a couple of years and now they have brought on Shannon Neely - "played" at Ohio State, has coached locally at Fordham as an assistant. Not overly impressed with her abilities at the 14-16+ age group from a club standpoint. And, frankly, she needs a lot of work from a professionalism standpoint.
There are better options than LISC - don't let the GA/Girls Academy **** fool you. There are plenty of good teams out there with excellent training and player support - the GA stuff is all window dressing, it's a poorly run operation on the girls' side. And they are about to go through significant player changes......but the next crop of gullible parents will be waiting to fork over the cash so their kid can get run off the field in GA.Comment
