GFR Falling apart?

I don’t know why they would. They had two failed joint ventures with clubs. I’m sure Gus has wrecked all of them.

Is there any alliances now with GFR? So maybe people getting 5 teams are counting 3 GFR teams and 2 teams from other clubs?

Zero alliances for GFR.

Heard many teams with low numbers for next 25-26. so if no alliances, wonder if more forfeits in fall if players cannot attend games and if fewer teams on get and cannot bring in guest players from alliances?

I find it funny when a club tries and gets ECRL/ASPIRE/whatever so they can recruit better, but then gets upset when the kids that can to their club for the badge, move to a club with a shinier badge

Exactly. If you don't want players to leave, then put out a product and an environment that inspires players to stay and entices others to come. Its very simple.

There are no age groups with 5 teams and several with only 1 team. Most have 2.

2011 boys has 5

It has 5 proposed. That spreadsheet isn't accurate. That was put out before tryouts and the club finding out how many players were leaving. The 09 girls also only has 1 team now instead of 2 and there are several other age groups dropping a team.

That is completely true, that spreadsheet is just the proposed number of teams. That being said, the 2011 boys have 5 teams. Three are outright GFR and two are teams playing under the GFR umbrella.

Why are the umbrella teams still around? Can’t be to play RL…right? Just to take county field space that they don’t qualify for otherwise?

GFR never seems to have enough turf space so I'm not sure why they are letting these other teams use their practice and game field space.

What are the 2 umbrella teams? Can those teams do guest players for each other and for GFR or truly only field usage is only overlap?

Usually the umbrella teams are established teams with a full roster and a coach that come from another club and then eventually integrate into the club that is housing them.
