    with a GPS email address and all: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/duel-...le-ben-hanley/

    This looks more like a re-branding of GPS everyday, without MJ at the helm.
    This was answered earlier in the thread do keep up.


    'Soccer Chance USA was a college placement service that sent lots of European based students to D1 D2 D3, NAIA and NJCAA programs - lots still playing. It had a brief partnership With GPS international academies assisting their players in the UK and Spain getting back into college programs as they were based in Europe and were on hand to assist in his field.


    Not sure what the relevance is here ? '


    Hope this explains your conspiracy theory.

          I think all you've done here is promote yourself even more guys. Half the clubs in this state don't do a thing on college placements. Totally reliant on showcases which as we know isn't always enough.

            Look I wish youth soccer wasn't this way, but GPS v1 showed that it can be downright nasty when dealing with these for profits. Talk to clubs in other states where GPS came in - it was like a locust. Non-profits tried to continue as they always had but families got pulled in by the Bayern/English connection and the fancy marketing materials or got reminded of everything their old club ever did wrong.

            GPS failed here, but it did damage along the way. SCA appear to be another flavor of the same ice cream.

            The clubs who don't respond end up like the Clackamas Power Rays; highly likable, but don't last. Want my club to be likable and last.
            GPS is owned by Brit’s.

            They recruit in Britain with the promise of coming to America and making a living as a soccer coach. Community coaches in Europe don’t get paid a living wage.

            Come live in America, work a few hours a week and make a living while ignorant parents treat you like a God.

            That’s how these two guys ended up in the States. GPS realized The Oregon GPS Emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes so they sent these two to clean things up. But one got caught with visa issues and could get back to fix things so they hung on with The Emperor.

            Both guys got a following and enough to start a club to make their own way.

            Maybe they are good guys and good coaches. But they came to coach camps for the Brits and then got associated with the Emperor.

            Maybe they have a badge, maybe they don’t.

            Maybe they recruit, maybe they don’t.

            Maybe they are honest and caring, maybe they aren’t.

            Words are words, actions are actions.

            The actions of those who came before weren’t good, and these guys were involved to a certain degree. Maybe they realized GPS was a scam and want to do things the right way.

            Time will tell.

                What an earth are you talking about. Get a grip man. Your spending your days on here trying to talk rubbish and tarnish people's character. If you have a real issue be a man and email info@soccerchanceacademy.us and arrange a call or meeting. Otherwise just give it a rest.

                  The email address on the link for the Soccer Chance CEO was a gps email address. Glad you guys are covering your tracks; will fool somebody.

                    Correct. When he was working placing their student athletes based in Europe at US colleges as it states above.
                    I suggest you do what the person above suggested. Reach out to them.

                      Zero interest in reaching out to them what so eve; loyal to the neighborhood clubs (despite all their warts); was happy to ignore SCA though, until the offending texts started to make their way around parent circle.

                      Other than that, seem like nice enough folks, but hope our directors aren't slacking off in dealing with them.

                        “Be a man”

                        Please explain what you mean by that. I want to try to “be a man” but I don’t know what it means. Do I need an operation? Pills? Should I start to say sexist things like you?

                        Do you tell your players to “be a man” or “take it like a man”? Do you just say this to males or do you say it to female players as well?

                              Man oh man, so much funny material could come out of this sub-thread, but I am going to be smart and let it go (however the person you responded to may not).

                                Give them a chance ‘no pun intended’ this whole platform is designed to discredit people. Like the person above said give them a call. Reach out to them you will see what these people are like long term. If they turn out to be good people like we hear they are have the decency to respond in kind. I wish them well
