Tryouts and Predictions

[Unregistered]

It’s that time of year kids. Here is what I can gather from recent threads -

Clubs Folding or Merging:

Yankee
Soccer Visa
Liberty
Shoreline FC
Academica
Liberty (not sure where this club is)
Shoreline United (split off from Shoreline FC)

Anyone else? This is a good thing for CT soccer. Fewer clubs means less diluted play. CT soccer needs about 10 more clubs to slip quietly into the night. Do the Pythons exist anymore? Maybe merged into Beachside? How is Inter doing since the change from Everton? Is SCP still alive? How about CT Celtic? Ajax still hanging tough?

Academica already merged with Vale for the 20-21 season. More teams combining would be a good thing for this oversaturated market

how about foundation?

Sporting taking over OW

how about foundation?

Foundation has two entities. The second one is Foundation - North. They will most likely fold, they are struggling with only a couple of teams.

SCP is a mess right now. We were very happy until his coach left for another club. The replacement coach lasted less than 3 months and his replacement has been MIA throughout Covid. Waste of my time and money. It’s most likely this team will fall apart, everyone is at various tryouts for other clubs. I also don’t see any girls teams training at the club. I think there is a group of HS girls but I don’t think anything else exists. I have no idea what will be left when our team folds. I never expected this.

Shoreline FC already merged with Chelsea Piers at least a year ago if not two.

We're in the high point of the cycle of having way too many clubs with crappy coaches and dopey parents wasting money. Clubs market themselves well, convince parents of ULittles they provide a better experience than decent travel teams, and then they fall apart.

It's so dumb.

I think we are beyond the high point. More clubs are going to fold after this tryout window due to Covid. Several clubs have already merge or folded and that trend will hopefully continue.

Just cut to the chase OP, which club are you trying to drag?

My D has been to a CFC practice and also went to FSA last night both for ECNL team. The difference between the 2 is very noticeable. Coming from a smaller club so hope she gets in either but CFC was the stronger of the two.

Go with the one with the smaller roster.

So you went to two clubs practices and didn't notice, as mentioned several times on TS, that one of them was actually holding tryouts?

That's either not very observant, or its BS

and better coach ... that should take FSA off of the list entirely ... dont even need to know your daughter's age.
