Any changes in coaches on the girls side for the top U-15 and U-16 girls club teams?

Well Established?

There is already a well established path from rays to explosion

What well established path are you talking about? I know of only one former Rays player playing for Explosion and they left on good terms. Which explosion team do all these Rays players play for.

You're AN IDIOT .... you're kid must suck and you are bitter.

What part isn't true? And don't say "all of it" because that will make you look really stupid. Maybe I can introduce my kid to you so you can tell him/her that they suck.

Virtually every coach at RISC is a Dad.

Because the reason for RISC is that it's the farm team for Victor and the high school team.

By using dads he gets to pocket more of the nearly 2k parents will fork over to play there.

That is an unbelievable cheap shot - and flat-out lie - about the best, most honest guy I know in the RI soccer community. Nobody is making a cent at RISC, least of all Victor. Your post is the most damaging personal thing I have ever seen here. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

By the way, RISC fees are 60% of what you quote. On top of being thoughtless, you're clueless.

Trust me, VA tried for years to work through LYSA. That was like banging his head against a wall. The reason he started up RISC was to create a better competitive soccer alternative than what was out there. I'm glad he did it.

and by the way, the Dad coaches that RISC does have (on only 3 of the 6 teams) are EXCELLENT coaches - including Victor.

I don't have a problem with creating a farm team for the high school team in addition to having another option for families in soccer.

If you're careful, a mix of parent and pro coaching could work great. Most of the parent coaches we see involved in town soccer really don't know how to get from point "A" to point "B". And many don't know what point "B" is.

I have seen a few parent coaches that are great and if it can reduce the cost of premier soccer then that is a good thing.

You're obviously very passionate about RISC. I just hope they are charging enough to keep their heads above water. Is RISC what made the LYSA boys teams basically go away?

Are they planning anything to save the girls in LYSA?

I'm more passionate about defending a friend of mine who has been called out by name for doing something that he would never, ever do.

LYSA is what made LYSA boys teams go away. The talented boys in Lincoln had left LYSA competitive program years before RISC ever came around.

LYSA appointed coaches to their competitive boys teams that nobody wanted to play for. LYSA was inflexible for boys who wanted to participate in other sports.

If anything, BV United did more damage to LYSA boys teams than RISC ever did. The boys were long gone by then.

The poster that ,edit> ticked </edit> you off did present his/her opinion in a very negative way. I don't know the first thing about RISC but I also don't have a problem with someone making money by providing an excellent service. In fact I think that it is absolutely necessary that people spending an inordinate amount of their time should get paid.

Is RISC cheaper than Bayside, Blackwatch and Bruno, Rays, Explosion, and Tidal Wave?

What is the total cost for the year including tournaments and uniform?

An earlier poster suggested it is $1200. Not expensive or cheap.

Who cares what RISC charges????

Who really cares what RISC charges to play?? They charge what they think they can get, they have whatever coached they think will help them and enable them to attract players for what they charge, and they do whatever it is they want with the money they bring in..... If you do not like any of the above then you don't try out, it's pretty much that simple. Some people seem to confuse Premier with Town soccer. It's not your right to play for a club, tell them who should coach, how much they should charge and what they do with their money. The only right you have is to agree with a club philosophy and decide to try out for them. If you can't afford it too bad! If you don't like the coaches too bad! If you think they should charge less, too bad. If the club does things the wrong way they will fade into the sunset. So stop complaining already.
