Sporting California! What are they doing?

ColdPizza said:
Jenny has been pulled from coaching her ECRL/NL teams indefinitely. She allowed one of her ECRL teams to use a goalie without a player card. Some coaches have been fired, and some are planning to leave. The G12 ECRL team has lost 6 girls and maybe more in the next week. She likes to borrow players instead of growing her own. What a mess. I feel for the parents and kids who fell for her sales pitch.

Did the team fall apart?

Not entirely. They will make sure to allow the better players to play up and keep them. They have already tried that with the better girls that left - didn't work. What a mess.

They also have a ton of guest players helping them from other existing Sporting teams.
But if coaches have left Sporting CA South, who will coach the teams Jenny had...

Are you referring to all of jenny‘s south RL teams or specifically for her 12 RL‘s?

This comment was in response to the coaches leaving.

But back to my previous comment: Jenny has been pulled from coaching her ECRL/NL/RL2 teams indefinitely.

The G12 ECRL team has lost 6 girls so far.

I just heard she will be suspended for 3 games in SoCal for using illegal G15 players last week. AYE AYE AYE the house of cards is falling.

Not sure what is going on with Coach Jenny but wished I had listened to my gut when wanting to leave this joke of a club Sporting after the challenge game nonsense. Several of my daughter's teammates have been told that they will not be rostering in their RL game this weekend since it's a "must win" game against SD Surf. Although there's less than 17 girls on the RL roster, the coach is planning to bring down a bunch of NL players for this "must win" game thereby displacing the RL players. Curious as to other clubs - now that NL plays mainly on Saturdays and RL plays on Sundays, is this happening with other clubs too? NL players playing for the RL team just for the win? I guess it's allowed under the ECNL rules but seems fishy and wrong. Not to mention their NL team at this age group is in dead last so not sure how much help these players will be anyway against a much superior club.

Certain clubs are notorious for playing NL players on the RL teams, while other clubs avoid it, even to the point of playing with no subs. Sporting USA, Legends, and Slammers will usually have NL players on the roster during league games; and they absolutely stack the RL teams with NL players during the playoff games, and other events.
 
And there are crappy MLS N teams who play a significant portion of their roster on their club's NPL team, flouting all MLS rules because NorCal lets them do so.

Technically this is how ECNL and ECRL is designed to work since both teams players are in the same player pool. Parents hate this kind of action and fight against it.

Wish more clubs operated this way. It is the best method for player development, and the strongest teams.

This is becoming the norm. Also all you do now is roster the NL player on the RL roster.

I feel bad for the teams across the entire organization. That woman's antics caused negative effects across multiple teams in multiple locations. The analogy of one bad apple spoiling the entire bushel comes to mind, but the organization has responsibility as well. The Club allowed this selfish coach to take it hostage and demand certain things that were obviously not earned. The lesson is they would have been better off cutting her out of the club (even if they lost teams in Temecula) the instant she attempted to highjack the ECRL hub via politics instead of performance.

If it's becoming the norm maybe ECNL or teams that do this should consider running a 2nd ECNL team.

Also, so who do you think ECNL will merge sporting into?

City has some good teams that are outperforming the league they are currently in. They would do well in the ECNL.

you cant just add a second team. The only reason some clubs have a second team is some deal when DA was dissolved or a club merged or something. You cant just be hey I want to do a second ECNL team. The rules allow it so the Club Directors are doing it now.
