No, I am probably just posting in the wrong form. "Things I wish I had known before joining" is more appropriate. I am sure many others love all the activity. |

So you wish you knew FCV and BP posted more on social media before joining the club?
Social media posts would have steered you in a different direction? Really? |
I wish I knew the plan was to gradually move practices to Springfield before joining. It would have only needed to come out a few days before, actually. |
Are they truly moving practices already? I had heard that the contract at Evergreen was at least another year. |
Non-Da teams are being relegated to grass fields more than anything. |
But that isn’t happening. All DA teams practice at Evergreen or local indoor. Most NPL and other moved to Bles. But neither is Springfield. All the scheduling and calendars still show Evergreen. |
They will stay at Evergreen for much of this year. When the weather turns certainly expect DA practices to be in the field house if Evergreen is snow covered. Spring may see a gradual move but by this time next year the DA teams will likely be in Springfield no less than 2 practices a week. |
This just isn’t true. Unless you are one of a couple people, you don’t know what is going on. This is 100% not factual. They may start moving over, but nobody outside of a couple knows what will hapen. |
So does that mean only DA team get to train on turf fields?????? |
Pretty much. |
If Evergreen is covered in snow they will shift to TSJ. Why wouldn't they? I would bet my life that by this time next year, no less than 50% of DA practices will be in Springfield. They'll simply transition NPL teams to Evergreen to finish out the lease. Ownership is in Springfield and having the DA out at Evergreen is costing them money. Every DA practice held in Evergreen is one less field house rental or basketball court rental for futsal etc... The gym makes money through memberships and on site concessions. So, you may or may not end up full time in Springfield but that membership fee will be built into your team fees as if you were a gym member whether you use the facility or not. |
For the most part. I see some boys out there occasionally, but almost exclusively DA teams. |
Last year they plowed Evergreen if it was snow covered and the girls played. I wouldn't bet your life on anything if I were you. We'll see what happens with fees. No change this year so your 'built in membership fee' is bunk! |
And the Non-DA teams tolerate this? Most area grass fields are not in great shape. Hope they got a discount on fees for this year! |
The Non-DA have been using Bles for years. Nothing new really. They just don't get a day per week at Evergreen. |
