Orlando City -merges CFK and FSA

[Unregistered]

Let's see...Hunters Creek,.Lake Nona and Windermere. Lots of middle to upper class Latinos in those MacMansions. Don't be too quick to judge. Fastest growing segment of the Orlando population the past 20-years. OC would be stupid to ignore them.

OCYS won't "ignore" anyone who wants to play. But they won't be sending a courtesy bus to Lake Nona to facilitate the commute. If folks want to play, they need to get to Seminole County where the club operates.

Of course. i bet there will be enough licensed and well-qualified coaches to easily handle the volume.

Both FSA and CFK had huge holes in quality coaches! If they use the current club coaches to run all the teams then the club is doomed!

If OCYS intends to pursue a succesful application for USSF's USSDA program, this club will need to upgrade its boys coaching/training staff with more highly-qualified (licensing levels) individuals.

I didnt mean to imply that only FSA/CFK staff would be able to cover it. I agree more coaches will have to be added from outside those organizations. I think, though, that additional coaches can be drafted from the area to fill the gaps. They will need to be licensed.

This is America you Jackwagon. All it takes is one Latin car dealer, grocer or tech CEO to see the inequality and start writing checks to subsidize one of those poor lil' South Orlando Clubs with enough money to run a real Academy. Then all the dues paying members will not be able to help your slow, unathletic, robotic players compete with a culture that simply owns you in the sport. Won't be long until those priviledged kids start driving to South Orlando so they can get a bench spot on a premiere team.

I agree. Reminds me of '50s when blacks were allowed to play high school sports. All of the sudden these well-coached, crew cut, lilly white teams were getting owned by those kids from the other side of the tracks.

Mark my words. When the Latin community comes to the party, it will spell the end of priveledged soccer clubs. The other poster had it right. Those well-healed suburbanites will leave skid marks as they drive their kids to Lacrosse. "Don't worry little Johnny, momma will find you a sport you can star in."

Your words have been duly marked. Especially "priveledged" and "well-healed". But be careful what you wish for- when all the suburbanite whities leave for the la crosse field, who will pay for "scholarships" for the Latin Community?

By the way- do you folks actually speak Latin?

Jack wagon

n. Slang term derived from the Freight or Chow wagons used in the late 19th century. These were often the last wagons in a wagon train, making them the least favorable to drive due to the dust, waste, and debris from the front of the train.

US will adopt the Acedemy System by then so no pay-to-play. Perform-to-play will be the new model for youth development. By then your kids will have given up on sports and will be writing for the sports section of the school newspaper. They will have a sense of humor about it....but you will still be bitter.

At least his/her kids will be in school bettering themselves not relying on the "Acedemy" to get their kid through a sport. Maybe you could take a dose of that "school work" and learn how to spell "Academy." If your kids follow in your footsteps, it sounds like they will be working at McDonald's or are you waiting for the million dollar contract from MLS for your stud athlete?

Is there any hints on what the fees will be? We saw the ridiculous $650 fee for Super Y.....Can't wait to see what they attempt to fleece parents for regular season.

$1650 for club fees and additional $2000-$3000 for ECNL Team travel costs (U16 and U17 ECNL are at the higher end of the scale)

the travel cost was only given to me as an estimate...it may change based on airline fees and cost variables. Hope that helps.

Then don't join the team. I mean, if the financial committment will be a strain or burden, don't join. I will not allow some soccer team/club to mess with my finances. "We're homeless, but our child plays club soccer and travels extensively every other weekend." Not really the American dream I'm looking to fulfill!!!
