pacnw/federal way merger

[Guest]

Why would PAC lose Starfire?

No chance that Pac is losing Starfire. If nothing else, the fact the Sounders are leaving Starfire will solidify PAC’s position at Starfire.

Who is next? Rush merging with Snohomish? Cascade merging with Eastside? Clubs without ECNL are losing players left and right after u12 or maybe even earlier and I don't see this trend slowing.

Valor was not 2 RCL clubs merging though. Kent wasn't in the RCL.

Love when a newbie tries to correct someone that's been involved in youth soccer in this region for 30 years.

Here is an old schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...60&single=true

you can see for yourself that Kent United did indeed have RCL teams. In life, I really do recommend that you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.

I am curious about that too. Does this merger make more sense than Federal Way merging with Washington Premier?

The drive from FW to starfire is easier than the drive to WPFC fields.

Well it doesn't really matter if it makes more sense or not, they merged with PacNW.

Sad really. But good for Pac and likely all the coaches involved at FWFC.

I think the point was that we haven’t seen a merger of two RCL clubs for awhile. And while you correctly point out that Kent United had teams playing in the RCL, I don’t believe that Valor did. I think Valor saw Kent United as their ticket into the RCL.

I think this is an INCREDIBLE move by PacNW to expand their territory, grow their player base, and help out a struggling smaller club. I feel bad for the folks at FWFC that it came to this, but overall it’s the right decision. While PAC has been in the conversation as one of the “Big 5” clubs in WA (XF, SU, EFC, WPFC, PAC), I expect this move to help make it more competitive in the years to come. Overall this merger seems like a win-win.

Pac should merge with West Seattle Soccer and Highline. That would give them the junior program they need.

It is great to see Pac expanding. It is a good program

Jesus, it wasn't valor it was maple valley premier. And I showed you two clubs since 2016. Your point was dumb. It has happened for the last 30 years.

Never understand why so many people on this board are so arrogant and/or have a strong ***hole gene.

Never understand why so many people on this board are so full of sh!t. They think that because dd/ds has played a few seasons all of a sudden they know everything about youth soccer.

Try not acting like a know it all when you really don't know sh!t and I will try to show you some grace.

This is a big deal PACNW already has double the teams of XF on the girls side. That's a massive player base to choose from as the teams get larger where XF barely has 2 teams at most age groups and is praying that kids show up at tryouts so they have enough to fill the teams. I think we had 7 kids from outside the club for G08 tryouts last year . . . you can't completely neglect your girls side for so many years, and give trash coaches to any team that isn't ECNL and expect people to stick around. Paying the girls airfare and tournament fees once they are in High School isn't quite the draw you thought it was. Pac has been top of the list for shady behavior in the past, but seem to be making smart choices these days.
