The U18 won their bracket and I think the U17 are in the final in theirs. Not bad of a showing for little Rhody.

Not a bad showing? They were in low tier brackets! Great for them on winning. I don't want to take it away from the girls, however, you are playing in the 7th or 8th division. You should be winning if you are a state champion. We are a small state. Appreciate your kids playing the game and having fun. We really aren't a soccer hotbed. No one's fault. Just is what it is. Maybe Soccer RI should just take over the premier clubs and have ONE team in each age group for boys and girls. Realistically we only have enough players to make one quality team for each age group. We are small!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe "lets have one premier team in RI" argument gets brought up annually. But in reality, all of the best RI players will play for NEFC Elite and the rest for Bayside just like they do today. You're assuming there's 10-12 top RI players playing at Lusitana, Bruno, etc. there aren't.
In reality... after reading what everyone has been writing... If you play for Bruno, Rams, Lusitana, Strikers, etc... You may as well save your money and play with your friends on your "hometown" team. Players aren't really getting scholarships from RI and I know that's what mom and dad are hoping for. Save your money for college and not Premier!

Bruno, Lusitana, Rams, etc... are all money makers. (JT's, GE's pockets at Bruno and Rams) Bayside and NEFC, as well. However, at least NEFC has the quality players and coaches.. (Bayside has a few too) to succeed with. Like everything else in this state, even soccer seems to have gone backwards over the years. I thought we would be much further ahead by now. Sad, actually!

Rumor is soccer RI is not mandating coaching requirements at the town level and clubs are not following their own development guidelines of coaches having min requirements for certain levels.

By the way, lots of Rhode Island girls at Taunton last night. Playing in front of 50 or so college coaches.
Including some that work at Bayside.

This is a huge differentiator for NEFC. They get 50+ coaches out to an internal club showcase, including Maryland, Duke, and all of the New England Division 1's. But there is no sacrifice of attention on the youth teams because these coaches make NEFC a priority.
