What happened to 2012 team at stars tournament? They finally played some good teams?

What league do they play in? Are they in ECNL BOYS?

That team is full of hot air and not much talent.

Surf is a nice starter club option in RI. But once your kid hits 13 you need to move on to the clubs with the ECNL pathway to be noticed later if they want to play in college. There’s a couple ECNL clubs in mass and CT you can drive to if your kid makes a team.

If your kid wants to play in college then you need to get them into ECNL. Don’t waste your time with DPL.

The best RI players head to Scorpions if they can make National level. If they can’t they head to CT especially if they live in southern RI and play for an ECNL club there. We don’t have ECNL in RI except a new regional team in a sub par ECNL regional league at Bayside. If your kid is young (u12 and below don’t bother with long drives or worrying about ECNL.) Surf is fine to get fundamentals. The coaches are at mixed levels. Some are parents so it feels a little town soccer like. NEFC is also an option if your kid can make top national GA team but the 2nd teams are in DPL. Stay away from DPL the teams are often not good quality so competition looks like a game of kick ball.
