Summer league starting up soon!

What a shame that FCB has become a training program for a decent HS soccer program. I still cant believe anyone would pay that kind of money to suck at soccer ... but do well amongst high schools. Carry on. ECNL really needs to clean house.

I'm not from FC Bucks, but this post is so funny. It really shows the lack of knowledge of some soccer parents. You know something is right when the majority of your players come from the same area. You should always be developing your core base of players, and then adding from outside the club. If you are saying most of the players are coming from one community, and there are a core group of players, then someone is doing something right. Over the years in EPA the best teams have always had a nucleus of homegrown players. If you look at the majority of PIAA state champions on both the boys and girls sides you will find the majority of those players came from, or were currently in the same club system. What made Penn Fusion and FC Delco strong early on were the number of players that started from one team, and then they added to those teams to improve talent and depth, and there was always that core group of players, but that is not really happening he today. There is already a terrific base of players coming from within the FC Bucks club and many small area clubs to help maintain and strengthen the teams. If FC Bucks were run properly it wouldn’t take much to get them back to being the top girls club in EPA. Look at the results with the other two ECNL clubs the the score lines are not too far off. The boys side is a little more challenging for a number of different reasons but ever that could be improved.

You are so off base here. Did you know that most states have rules against how many kids from a club can be on a HS team. Restrictions around HS coaches and coaching club at HS age groups. They have these rules in place to deter the type of abuses that clubs like FCB, and other, create.
FCB makes the Pennridge deals so they have a flow of families willing to write a check. It is never about developing children. FCB is a business and its main function is to enrich a few people within the club and grease the skids for their children. And before anyone gets the anti FCB idea, it's almost all youth soccer clubs in the area. Matchfit has their HS deals, PDA, Delco, and Fusion. It is one big incestuous family. But hey at least there isn't the Visa fraud and Tax fraud investigations going on as others are now dealing with

So says the #pennridgeproud parent!

When teams are picked because deals are made BEFORE tryouts ever happen you never end up with the strongest team. And when year after year players are kept and/ or added because they are friends that go to the same High school, and can contribute to the car pool to help with the hour drive - you never end up with a strong team. The results at bucks speak for themselves and considering bucks has been near the bottom of the entire ECNL the last few years - clearly the way they pick and train teams is not working.

I would be willing to be their isn’t another ECNL team anywhere in the country that has 9 of its 17 players from the same High School.

Could be that ....or ..... Tryouts were a sham and parents put together a neighborhood team at the expense of other players and the quality of the entire team.

Do us a favor and please post us the rule that disallows club players from the same community playing on a high school team together. All clubs are a business, so you better get the biggest bang for your buck and that’s plying in the ECNL. No other options.

PA does not have this rule but many states do
Here is one example Ohio https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...uY4GQwMfEn1vvc
But there are many more

I also have an idea for all the haters. Train your players properly at the younger age groups so that when its time to play hs and make ecnl teams they are ready. In any given year Pennridge's JV can beat half the teams in SOL.

Haha. No one wants to come near your team

But we have the Villanova Coaching staff at FCB...of course people want their kids to come to FCB

Why focus on skills, those don't mean anything. Wouldn't easier just to move to Perkasie to make the ECNL team?

Surely all the RL kids must go to Pennridge as well then right?

Wait this can’t be true... I thought RL was beginner soccer, the worst of the worst. If RL competed with ECNL - what does that make ECNL.

It can’t be true ECNL had to crush you guys ... no one believes RL didn’t get crushed.

RL got crushed. Again.
