Arsenal FC (Girls) - New ECNL Director
- Thread starter Technician72
- Start date
Apparently, unless there was some details he didn't want to state in his text message to the families. Yet if you think about it, if you were a director would you want all this drama coming into your club?

maybe he did something that raised the red flags i do not buy the practice location , And why in the world Texas? Hope the parents find a team for the girls.
Texas makes no sense, unless his bridges are all burnt or the true aspiration is to start his own club. There are many clubs that would love to have a foothold in the SoCal market. Go find a club in Texas in good standing with the ECNL that wants to expand, promise help establish a club in SoCal under the Texas brand, find a SoCal team to register your teams with (CSL is easier than SCDSL), play this year in CSL so you don't lose the players (although many will start dropping off by August).
Are you referring to Great Park or Goals in Rancho?

Maybe someone can answer the following questions
Which team is playing at Surf? Arsenal Girls ?
Which team is playing now in Texas? Arsenal Girls?
Do they have enough players to play both tournaments?

Saw them playing today at Surf Cup. Sloppy soccer, tight and forceful play, no possession, no passing. Players yelling at their own teammates...a mess. Then you’ve got Randy’s old manager telling the coach what to do. Girls don’t even listen to the coach...doing what they want on the field, and it shows.
- Trial by fire. Has to be tough for the players who up until recently thought they were playing as stikers. I think any assessment will have to take place over time.
Not telling the coach what to do....that's insulting to the new coach. Unfortunately, Due to circumstances, coach isn't familiar with several girls. This new style of play is going to take some time to develop.

Which age group?
Signs of a team that may fall apart...shame thanks to 1 person. RB
RB is not to blame. He tried very hard to make something happen and unfortunately, the chips didn't fall in his favor. He truly cared and wanted the best for the girls. The team will not fall apart but will need to work extra hard this year. Obviously from our showing at Surf Cup, it will be an uphill battle all season.
What the girls really need is a club that they can call home seeing that they are not associated with anyone.

This is the oddest part of the story. Hard to fathom a misunderstanding, but anything is possible. Did no parent nor player ask or even wonder what was going to happen to the existing Strikers team/players? The soccer world is pretty small. My DD knows players on pretty much every Socal team she faces, and keeps in touch through social media with many of them.
I hope for the best for the players who stuck with it. I do not buy the new coach letting a parent control the game, and his style of play is pretty consistent with the college game. It may not be what they expected, but if they put in the effort (and can keep him focused on the team as well) their future outcomes are still likely to be very positive.

I do not think was the Arsenal team at Surf,Randy was with his team at Nationals in Texas.
