It’s not easy but with money they will find coaches and directors, and even CC and BP can be replaced, but I don’t know how they recover from losing access to Evergreen and Hanson (although I still don’t understand why they got Hanson in 22-23 and Fall 23-24 but won’t going forward).

Those reqs say for the 2023-24 seasonal year. February 2024 would seem to be a little late for that now.

how attractive will the club remain if there is no GA?

They lose money on GA. GA is in the north.

They only have a club because they have GA…and no idea how you (or anyone else posting) would know their finances.

Correct for FCV, but not for TSJ.

The south has minimal teams mostly at the 2014/2015 age groups. There isn’t cash or field space in Springfield. They should sell the boys program as well

TSJ releases their finances?

FCV's goalkeeper coach is leaving to VRSC too, with CC, and the new program VRSC is going to try.

Stop worrying about nonsense people. If you're an FCV family, just stay put and trust the process because as you all know - #TheFutureisFCV. 😂🤣😂

GA is like the private school of club soccer.

Even more willing to take your money than ECNL programs are, and that's saying a lot.

Eh, I agree with you that it's all about $$$, but I also think that there's so much of it floating around in youth sports that people vastly overrate the supremacy of ECNL. It won't last forever, because someone else will want a piece of that pie, and have the ability to pull it off eventually.

Wishful thinking. They tried with the DA and now with the DA. So far, ECNL (girls) is undefeated.

There can only be one top dog. Even in professional soccer, generally one league is ranked above all others. In this case, ECNL reigns supreme and don't see that fact changing anytime soon.

*with the GA*

DA was the top dog for a bit but lost its shine. It will change again. Nothing last forever
