Orlando City -merges CFK and FSA

[Unregistered]

And I think you are VERY presumptious.

"Largest"? By the simple mathematical exercise of FSA membership + CFK membership, a given.

"Most prestigious"? "Most professionally run club"? Other than holding Super-Y tryouts, OCYS has done NOTHING yet to demonstrate prestige or professionalism.

Good grief!

Then why the concern? If OC isn't going to be all that then you will have the last laugh. As it is we are laughing at you pretending you know best.

how exactly is the poster pretending to know best? All he is stating is that they have not done anything to warrent they are the most prestigous and well run, all he is saying is wait til it happens then state it.

The one pretending to know best is you with the ramming of they are the best.

Largest? Yes, as you say- by virtue of most members. Do you have a different metric for "largest"?

Most Professionally run club? Why yes, if by no other measure than what CFK brings to the new club: all licensed coaches, full time executive director, and a "club based" system modeled after successful clubs like CASL, Lone Star and highly regarded California clubs.

Most Prestigious? Yes. Wouldn't you agree that ECNL is "prestigious"? Most people do. Is there not some level of "prestige" in being associated with the PDL/USL franchises? Of course there is.

I'm sorry some take offense. I think you should be less defensive and work harder to improve whatever club you're a member of. Then you could claim the same as I have.

Exactly how is this newly formed club who has yet to do anything the most prestigious, professionally run club in central florida. What basis do you have to go on that they are those things since they have not done anything yet. (granted it doesn't take much to be more professionally than any club in central florida) I just don't get how everyone is claiming they are the end all be all and they haven't done anything yet. For all you know they could come out and say it will be $3000 for rec, $4000 for region and $6000 for state cup teams, plus all parents must help on fridays cutting the grass with scissors.

I did not claim OCYS is the "end all be all". I said OCYS will be the "largest, most professionally run and prestigious" club in central Florida. Since you disagree, please name the club that is larger, more professionally run, and more prestigious. When you (or anyone else) names such a club, we will make a head-to- head comparison right here on TS. Sound good?

So what makes it prestigious? What makes it professional run? It will be the largest club just like Fl Rush was 4-5 years ago but what will it do to not repeat the rush.

Explained a few posts earlier. Don't forget to name your candidate for Bigger, More Professionally Run and More Prestigious. Looking forward to the debate.

I will give you one better. Please name the professional and prestigious folks that are in charge of OCYS?

OCYS did not apply to ECNL. OCYS did not get accepted to ECNL.

If you understood the TWO YEARS of work, planning, changes, and genuine effort that went into getting the ECNL bid, you would understand why it's important that facts are facts. If it doesn't matter to you, fine. At least have the courtesy to defer to those who think it IS IMPORTANT to credit the people who actually achieved something. I don't care if you think it's not important, or meaningless, or doesnt matter or whatever. It matters to me.

It's not a "bid": clubs submit APPLICATIONS to ECNL, then ECNL extends INVITATIONS. Clubs then ACCEPT invitations.

You've had your say. The "heavy lifting" for ECNL was done by CFK. For whatever
reason(s), CFK chose to enjoin with OCYS rather than maintain its independence with its ECNL status.

Now, get over yourself already.

The same reason we are not at CFK is the same reason we will not be at OCYS. Pompous arrogant people like yourself are there. "Club Based" means absolutely nothing to me. I prefer team based. I can also assure you that you are no Casl, Lone Star, or any California Club. I give this venture an over/under 2 to 3 yrs. Why? The same people that will be in charge are the same people that change their ways every 2 to 3 yrs in the history of Orlando Youth Soccer. So knock yourself out and don't forget to bring your checkbook...Hope your little one makes the ECNL Team or I'm sure you will be one of the many that will be claiming it's not fair. But that's okay, you still have the B and C Team.

Hey, bub watch it.

Now with ECNL and "visions of an MLS franchise dancing in their heads", OCYS believes it will draw all the elite players from near and far.

"Largest" (so much for "quality, not quantity"), "most prestigious" (ECNL wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Title IX) and "most professional" (some yet to materialize sudden influx of elite coaches/trainers) will make OCYS' "B" andf "C" teams superior to others' "A" teams. All at affordable and reasonable costs for all, no doubt.

I don't see what's pompous or arrogant about stating facts- except it's bothering you. You're correct that CFK is no CASL. But you have to start somewhere. ECNL took a lot of hard work, which many people should be proud of. It's a good step toward being a really good club. But I know it angers people like you when someone else works hard and achieves something you're not part of.
Keep rationalizing that it will all go away. That's what everyone said three years ago when lowly CFU started the journey. Meantime we'll just keep pushing ahead.

Good luck.

You must of worked real hard for being in existence less than 2yrs. Your facts are very flawed. "works hard and achieves something you're not part of "? Not sure where the hard work is. It's Not like your club has dominated in anything in the past 1yr and a third. So you have some good politicians. Good for you. But if you're going to come on here and claim to state "facts", please try to state "Facts" that are not BS selling points that you're trying to pitch to the public. Always two sides. The only thing that angers me is people like yourself pitching BS.

Good Luck.

It's really a waste of time to try because all you will do is spin it but here goes anyway:

Region Cup

5 teams in the Final four
3 Champions
1 Runner up
1 3rd Place

State Cup
16 teams entered
6 to round of 16
6 to Round 2

Granted this does nothing to prove whether they should or shouldn't be in ECNL but as much as you like to hate, it wouldn't matter anyway right. Not a great showing at Region cup overall but still several of the younger teams excelled which bodes well for the future. At the older ages, you can see the results and keep in mind the entire program is still years away from truly kicking in. The true depth is at U13 and below.

You clearly dont understand the ECNL process, or what it takes to win the invitation. Your bitterness is obvious.
