We still need players for multiple teams. We play in the exciting NextGen League. We will take anyone.

If you have the desire to be the best then JYSC is where you wanna be. Our coaches know what it takes to win region cup. We have the best fields in Jacksonville we have 3 parks that we play our games at to accommodate the number of players we have.

The Baptist church with Caucasian parishioners gets top dollar to sell, but the City floats a low ball offer to the church in Parramore.

What did the caucasian chuch on Parramore get offered? I don't think 4x market value is a lowball offer.

Why would you write this? What motivates you to take the time to talk about a Club that you are not a part of? Is there really nothing better for you to do? Why don't you register with your real name? If you can make a positive difference in someone's life, you should try that instead. It's more productive.

Well Dr. Phil sounds like the op is trying to recruit players to your dying club. Why don't you register your real name?

Sorry would you rather people not try to get players to your club.
Okay, to all potential players looking at JYSC. RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY AS FAST YOU CAN

Just moved here and thought about JYSC but too much negative about this club. Going to try Creeks or PV now since it's same distance from our new home.

Unfortunately, Kelo v. City of New London shows the Supreme Court ruled against your opinion on that.

A 5-4 decision before the U S Supreme Court is what you are going to bet the franchise upon? I think you better find a better lawyer.

Unfortunately, Kelo v. City of New London shows the Supreme Court ruled against your opinion on that.

You do know that the City of New London won in court, but the developer never got financing and the property was acquired but never used.

Bad example of how eminent domain should be implemented.

Unfortunately, Kelo v. City of New London shows the Supreme Court ruled against your opinion on that.

Prior to Kelo, seven states specifically prohibited the use of eminent domain for economic development except to eliminate blight: Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Washington.

Go back to Google law school.

so a city should pay whatever the owner wants for thier land. they offered 2x the appraised rate. but rather pay 46x the appraised value. Seems like a money grabbed masked as a church.

One can argue that oc and ocys is getting a taste of their own tactics. Poor, poor oc.

Just getting sick of the JYSC bashers. Never had a kid with the club, but the morons who bash them incessantly are weak little pu$$ies. They are not a top club, but why kick them when they're down? Easy target. Why the hate? If you don't like 'em, just move your kid to another club. Tha bashers are just losers who have no class. Take your business elsewhere and leave 'em alone to run their club as they see fit.

Probably one of the most misguided things on this forum. Ever heard of a kid named Messi that Barcelona paid to bring to Spain when he was 10 or 11 and paid for his medical treatment. Or a guys named Ronaldo that moved away from his home in Madera when he was 11 to go to Sporting Lisbon.

A real scout will tell you they don't know who will be great at 10 or 11 but they can tell you who wont be. The Dallas Supercopa was a chance for those that play at high level to get together and challenge each other. These kids may not be great, but you can't tell that yet, and they may be the next superstars.

And we all thought pot was illegal in Florida. Keep smoking my friend. lol

The tiny family-owned church that stands in the way of Orlando's Major League Soccer stadium has hired a Jacksonville law firm specializing in property rights to fight the city's attempt to take its land.

City Hall filed an eminent domain action in court in 2013, after a year of failed negotiations to buy Faith Deliverance Temple. But news releases from the church's new attorney make it clear the city's attempt to take the property won't go unchallenged.

Attorney Andrew Prince Brigham said the city's action violates Florida's Constitution and state law because the land wouldn't be used for a legitimate public purpose.

"The City's proposed taking is not for a public purpose," Brigham said in a news release. "The City is simply a conduit for eminent domain to take from one private entity, a church, and transfer the use of the property to another private entity, a soccer franchise."

The announcement comes a day after Orlando City Soccer Club executives joined Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs to unveil details and renderings of the $110-million stadium. It's supposed to be built on two square blocks along West Church Street, but the church's property sits smack in the middle.

The city initially offered $1.5 million for the property — more than twice the appraised value — but church leaders said that wouldn't be enough to rebuild elsewhere, and countered with a selling price of $35 million. The city eventually raised its offer as high as $4 million and the church dropped its price as low $15 million, but the parties never came any closer to a deal.

The city's failure to acquire the property already has delayed the stadium's construction. The team initially planned to begin playing in the new facility during the 2015 MLS season, but uncertainty about the land prompted the decision to play the entire 2015 season in the Citrus Bowl.

The current plan is for the Orlando City Lions to start playing in the new stadium with its home-opener of the 2016 season, in March of that year. It's expected to take 14 to 15 months to build the stadium, so construction, ideally, would have to start before January 2015, Lions Chief Operating Officer Brett Lashbrook said.

Orlando officials say the soccer stadium would serve a public purpose.

"We've tried hard to reach an amicable resolution but have had to resort to the court to resolve this on behalf of the parties, including a determination that the proposed soccer stadium will bring benefits to the community at large, including activities, entertainment, jobs, tourism and economic development, that this is an appropriate public purpose under Florida law," said Heather Fagan, Dyer's deputy chief of staff.

The city bought most of the soccer land but used eminent domain to take two other parcels. The judge sided with the city, ruling that the stadium would serve a public purpose. But in those cases, the property owners presented no evidence to put up a fight.

A hearing in the church's case is scheduled in September.

Members of the family that built and still operate the church have said they'd prefer to remain where they are.

OC should dig keep into their pockets and pay the 15 million dollar asked by the church. The church did not put a for sale sign on the property. The church and it's God fearing members simply want to serve the lord; so in pops a Brazilian millionaire ( FYI- a None US Citizen I might add ) and an English businessman with a gift for public relations and demand the property. Our local politicians should be ashamed of themselves. This property belongs to the Lord and it's people NOT a couple of savvy business mongrels with money to rule. The Lord is asking for 15 million so the church can rebuild.
