What is the morale heading into the East Regional for U13 and U14? I can't imagine it's good.

What is the plan for next year? Will South elevate their 2014 team to play U12 GA1 (as a U11 team)? Are there any girls on the 2013/2014 North team that are GA worthy?

The idea was to combine the best from the south and north squads... but many families are bailing (and many quality players bailed last year to go to McLean, Arlington and SYC instead of driving north) as most families from the south squad don't like the idea of commuting an hour in traffic 3x per week to fields in the north. The would need more centralized fields (which they don't have) to do a better job of combining North and South teams.

But at this point, it would make more sense to have the South Team represent a bulk of the GA1 team, but the St James is maxing out of field space also. Unless they get more field space, the St James seems to make more money renting the fields out to other groups. Who knows what they'll do. The new director, will probably just keep everything up North.

What happened to the new GA director? There was a post on social media awhile ago but still no mention of her on the website? Did she already have second thoughts like the last GA director?

Just shows that you're not part of the club and a troll from Revolution with nothing better to do. If you were you'd have seen her at GA practices every day and at games every weekend and you'd have talked to her last night at the GA parent's session with our mental health and performance support partner. But, nice try. Hows that teensy bar? Do you feel cool yet? At least you have time to sober up trying to get out of the parking lot before you drive your children home.

Why would you say something like that? Would you appreciate if someone asked you if you have stopped beating your wife? It's the same idea. Don't be a jerk.

This guy is just jealous that Hanson doesn't have a bar. They have to go up to the gas station to grab a beer.

East regional this weekend - Is MidAtlantic that good of a conference, or is it a wakeup call for TSJFC in GA?

U13 #14 of 14
U14 #13 of 14

For U13/14, TSJFC is like the GA version of Wilmington Hammerheads in ECNL MA.

Ha, I laughed out loud at this one. Thanks I needed that today.

If Hanson had a bar, I'd totally go. I love Mmmbop. It's a very catchy tune.

12GA did better in Florida than they have in Conference Play - going 0-2-1.

11GA lost all three.

No 13 team was sent.

what’s the future for GA?

Currently not looking super great, which is unfortunate. I really hope the club gets it together over break.

What do you expect to happen to “get it together”? Unless a new group of players magically appears what can change? Not blaming the players, they are nice kids and trying their best. But really the players on TSJ GA teams are the ones who didn’t make one of the other 6 ECNL/GA teams in the area. How do you fix that over break?

The Florida event was a showcase. It was not champions cup. The better teams participate in champions cup. Only some of the champions cup teams attend this separate showcase. It's not a measure of how good your team is unless you don't do good. Then it means your team really sucks.

I was just wondering about something.

The ST James did not have any "rec" teams playing in NCSL this fall (they had two U14 boys teams last spring).

BUT, they have entered U8 boys, U10 boys, U8 girls, U9 girls, U12 girls teams in the Herndon RECREATIONAL All Star tournament (no travel players allowed).

Do they have their own rec league that they run? Where did these "Rec" players come from?

I wonder if it's the kids from their training programs.

I think its an internal house league.

This is correct. They've been trying to expand their own rec program. You can see the too ambitious goals they had last winter for this fell on their website somewhere (a pdf)
