FC Bucks 2006 ECNL - Girls

[Unregistered]

Facts: PDA, Matchfit and Bucks are all ECNL clubs. So one should reasonably expect Bucks to provide similar services as the other ECNL clubs. Fact: Bucks has provided nothing. Zero, zip, zilch, nada. Pretty sure we pay about the same amount as the other ECNL clubs

FC Bucks pay the same, or more, than clubs offering way more!! The DOC is a failure!! This is all about leadership, and FC Bucks have none. Simple change, adding two full-time DOC's and clean house of current people.

Parents and players want regularly scheduled practices, a minimum of 2 nights a week.

Train consistently 2-3 times a week on turf (the minimum as stated by ECNL) as an ECNL club, all teams together. U13 to U15 first session, and the U16-19 in the second session. With younger players being moved up to train from time to time.

NO cancelled practices, unless serious weather issues. Back-up plan is needed too. VIRUS back-up plan is needed!!

10-month speed, agility and ACL prevention program.

Parents and players want training and game feedback/evaluations.

Parents and players want a dedicated college recruiting coordinator.

DOC has to be involved with every team, not a single team. The focus should be working with all the players and teams as an ECNL club.

No parent coach coaching their own child after U12, but best after U10. No parent ECNL coaches! You cannot coach your own child at ECNL level.

Coaches must have a minimum of a USSF B license as suggested by the ECNL.

The DOC position must have standards, right now that is not the case.

FC Bucks must follow ECNL guidelines.


The parents and players want to stay at FC Bucks, and they want the club to function with standards like the rest of the ECNL. We have everything to be an excellent club. Simple, but hard changes need to be made now!!

The root cause of the issues is the fault of the DOC.

Go out and vote for joe Biden then. He isn’t going to help any of this with this pandemic!

Get back to soccer? Not with the Dems right now. They want to country shutdown for a long long time. Let get back to work.

The media will keep this going for months. They don’t want the country open for business.

The season is basically over, right? Did you think of switching clubs to one that fits you best? Tryouts in May. All your problems will be over then.

YMS - DOC created an individual training program for players to work on at home and is uploading Youtube videos of trainings for players to work on.

Yes spring season will be cancelled shortly. The problem is the Fall season is now in jeopardy for club and HS. This pandemic shows no sign of slowing, in fact it’s getting worse. We could be in a 12 month hold for youth and Hs sports.

Go blow in a paper bag - there have only been 835 total deaths in the US - big freaking deal.

It’s completely overblown, and an overreaction by the media in an attempt to bring Trump down. Nothing else has worked so now they are actually hoping and wishing and aiding a complete economic meltdown. Really pathetic.

Exactly. All this bickering about training means nothing when there is no sign of sport coming back online. Our country isn’t even back up!! Sports are an after thought now. I’m hearing February for soccer but who knows right now.

I agree but the people in charge do not or are complicit with keeping our economy down. Point is we ain’t getting back to soccer until fall (very earliest) or next spring (most likely). This is not my opinion but officials I know in the industry.

Doesn't seem to be an afterthought for virtually every other ECNL club and many other local clubs.

Look - I think almost everyone agrees with this - but nothing is changing and nothing is going to change. So a wise person would just go find another club or deal with Bucks and all it’s inadequacies. Posting on here isn’t going to make bucks change, as long as people are willing to pay to play at bucks nothing will change. It’s sad, bigly.

Cases doubling every 3 days. Not good! This is why next spring is my best bet also for getting back to sports.

They will be postponed just like they will be everywhere else. We all know this. My guess is they will move to the fall most likely Novemberish. With CV cases doubling every couple days and the media/Dems going nuts it will be long while. Just hunker down for now
