Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA

The big power struggle in the north east is FC Stars & Scorpions v. NEFC. PDA south getting in before NEFC (whose boys program was added today) is very telling.

NEFC was just announced as part of the NE Conference of the GAL. Also included are Cedar Stars, Oakwood, Long Island SC, Seacoast United, STA, South Shore Select and NYSC.
 
Hey Fernando, can you please give me top three things you get from listening? Thanks man. Go Rebels!!!

1. ECNL knew about the DA shutdown the same time everyone else did.
2. Member club increases in the league is a capacity issue, from regular season games, to showcases to support staff.
3. Continue to work on ways to reduce travel.
4. Recent developments will probably take a playing season or two to shake out.

That's the gist of what I got from it. It was a relatively short interview.
 
Kicker asked me a question and I can;t PM him anything. So, for those who have asked me in my PMs what's up with the bad blood between you and Kicker, I'll share. Go ahead and mute me for those who have never heard this one before.
You see everyone, it all started back when are baby goats were playing U5 Travel AYSO Ball. We were both looking to get out babies in the games and that's it. Somehow, were all here today.......I will stop that part now. Kicker, this is just for you. Why are you letting everyone know about our ties when their were no standings, no playoffs and basically, the score meant nada!!! The league even said that the days of trying to win are over and now a new philosophy about development, not winning. You can't have it both ways all the time. Only two games mattered in our family. All the other games were a waste of time. Can you believe my kid only got 72% starts? All the other games my dd was the chosen one to sit so others could get their promised 25% start. I won;t share anymore but you get the message I hope. Also, my dd was not called up either. So she sat on the bench and watched our team tie in a meaningless game. Where do you think she would have rather been at?
Simply because you have said over and over that the level of play in DA was a joke, then you come out and say the first year your DD played DA there were “only 2 competitive games” furthering your anthem. I simply corrected for those who may be swayed by the misdirection.

The bad blood stems from your constant passive aggressive cheap shots at my DD and I’m not the only one who sees it and has said something about it.

Keep in mind I was just coming off CRL, US Youth Soccer Championship, ODP and then ECNL until the GDA came in. Not at all keeping score and having a championship was lame. My dd was told this development way was better. We did it and it was not competitive. No playoffs, nothing excect 4 days a week, 10 months out of the year and fly all over the country to play soccer. That was my complaint plus all the division. Sorry I was born Kicker and shared my feelings on here. We see the word competitive differently and that's ok.
 
Just wait for the ECNL lawsuit over the confusingly similar trademark. The player in this mark and the ECNL mark sure look quite a bit like each other to me.
and both look like the NBA logo. I think they’re safe. Can’t trademark a ponytail.
 
@Kicker4Life I never took a cheap shot at your dd. Only the league that you promoted on here 24/7. Your dd worked her ass off and I told you that many times. My cheap shots have always been directed at the GDA. Lastman took all my complaints on that league as a threat and now I'm taking cheap shots at your dd who loved that league. My dd hated that league because it tore her from her friends bro. She didn;t want to club hop, but the GDA said no HS Soccer. You know the rest, so stop lying on here and accuse me of taking cheap shots at your kid. It was the league that is no more and we see how they left things for us. I wish your dd 100% success. You have only taken cheap shots at me and I'm ok with that. Never about our dds. Techs kids have gone through shi*t too. We got a problem and it needed some fixing obviously. BTW, if you feel that my cheap shots were directed at your kid, please forgive me and move on. This is about a toxic war that is now over.

And it’s you against the world....we are all just collateral damage to your quips and rants. Jab back and you get to be the victim. Im done responding or reacting. I owe it to myself and many others to just leave it alone.

They say no matter what, the cream always rises to the top......I hope our DD’s are there as long as they wish to be! ✌️

I'm 100% ok with that Kicker. Please do not ask me anymore questions about the past, why we left this for that and ECNL for GDA last year, why this and why that. I would super appreciate that and others have asked you that too. We all need to stay on topic and I will do better too. I'm hurting bro, really hurting with no money and life has not been fare to my family over the years. You have no idea unless someone told you already. No more cheap shots please bro about how your life is and has better than my life. I felt cheap shot and kick in the balls from the great Kicker so that was hard to take and when I get kicked in the nuts, I tend to kick back. Nothing personal bro. Since my dd lives with me in our cheaphousing, it's been hard on her too and that seem like a cheap shot to her and more like a Kick to the head. Maybe you didn;t know how much better you actually had it unless someone told you. No food stamps but almost had to go there. On the mends and I see the Light!!! I asked you many times before to just leave me alone and now you said you will. I will not comment anymore about you or your league. Our kids are not in the same league anyway so all this is a mute point. It's obvious as parents we have no say in this soccer world Kicker so I wish you the best. Let's let bygones be bygones. I will hold my end of the bargain. Peace out and all of you, no more past talk from me. Onward we march to the future whatever league your dd plays in soon. I hope for the best and the best thing to do is let them start playing soon.

They seem to have put sufficient care into the high pony v low pony, different body positioning, and color schemes to avoid a trademark issue. Also, isn’t ECNL just going to change their logo into some amalgamation of slammers/pda/surf/eclipse/Concorde fire/mustang/sting logos surrounding an image of Lavers?
 
Multiple reports of large exodus of players from Beach Top Teams to new clubs with more to offer. Sounds like you know what is hitting the fan.
I can certainly see the typical shift of players as the club scene goes through yet another transition. Interesting that the transition / movement would occur at this point during a stay at home order and no outline when clubs can return to normalcy or better yet a phase 1 transition back. Have clubs / teams started to ask for that type of commitment / signature / payment? Wouldn't surprise me based on club soccer craziness.

I've heard talks of June and teams being split into practice groups of 10 or less players with drills that don't require them to be closer than 6' apart

No, to me it actually sounds like your daughter could not make one of the "top" teams in that club, and you like writing your wishful thinking in a blog.
What I am actually seeing, and I do not need "reports", is that all the teammates in my daughter's 05 team are coming back, together with some additions like a YNT buddy of hers. When soccer resumes (?), the club will go out of their way to organize good matches, and if it does not work way down the road, then the players may think of doing something else after proving what they are made of. The herd behavior, panicking, and wishful thinking we leave for you.

So far my ‘04’s teammates have confirmed for the upcoming season. Not 100% sure on the ‘06’s yet.
Maybe @LB Mom 78 can help us clarify the age groups pertaining to what she’s heard.
