Apparently is happening, big announcement coming today at a 5pm press conference. |
|
The combined club will form the first co-ed pro team in the United States, which will compete in the USL next year (projected, nothing certain). Este Maldonado and Lula Bauer will be co-managers.
Groundbreaking. |
Interesting. Hard to imagine how they will integrate right before the coming season. I imagine they will keep current teams separate for coming year and then have single slate of teams in 2020-21. (Alternatively, they could simply keep both sets of teams for current players and then phase in a single slate of teams for U9s, etc.) Although I imagine anybody dropping off top teams or concerned about the disruptiveness will march right over to Alexandria, BRYC, etc, especially since there will be a perception that one club's coaches are likely to have more control over player selection than others. Let's see if and ow it happens and that it works out best for the kids, regardless of what we think about the coaches or clubs. |
| Breaking news: no one is going to believe this lie |
| Alexandria, LMVSC and Gunston are all merging to form a super club to go against SYC. SYC has a plan to merge with BRYC and South County to form a even bigger club named Springfield Elite but shhhhhh no one tell a soul this is BIG NEWS! |
Seriously! How bored are you to spread such a rumor? |
Either it happens or not, folks. Why argue about whether it will happen when you can know at 5 pm. |
| Think of the potential: an SYC-LMVSC merger would create the nations premiere destination for early-onset puberty 11- and 12-year-olds. Amazing! |
Yeah. The other topics about 13-14 year old da v ECNL rivalry are so engrossing. We would not want to be distracted from that. Or the incredible intellectual firepower and incisive commentary that all of you bring to the women’s team and equal pay issues. Why would we ever want to talk about anything else? If you don’t care, then don’t read or comment. Pretty good rule of thumb here and elsewhere in life. |
| Will ESPN live stream the press conference? |
Lol |
