I don’t think the CLC doomsayers are correct but if they are we will know in two years. If CLC maintains its hold on the top HS talent, it would be naive to think any team would keep most of its top talent. |
Assuming that YJMA 2030 parents have any kind of club loyalty is first mistake in this reasoning. They have proved they don’t. |
And that’s the point. They jumped clubs for a better product. Can’t imagine some of them wouldn’t think the same thing for HS. |
MCE was imploding and they jumped together, splitting up the team who came together seems very different |
I think you missed PPs point. MCE has not imploded. It still exists and probably will continue to exist for several years. Parents saw an opportunity to get better coaching and support, then jumped clubs. At least that’s the story on these boards. If there is an opportunity that provides a better relative experience, why wouldn’t they move over? |
I guess they would have to think CLC was better than YJ, which is debatable |
This is where people get blinded. It’s not about loyalty, it’s about finding the best fit for your daughter to grow and develop. It’s ok for that answer to be different for different people. |
100%. Not sure why parents get this sense of blind loyalty to a club. Do you accept a better job offer if you think it’s a better fit and pays more? Not sure how many adults would turn that down. Some might out of a sense of loyalty. The loyalty to the club is weird. The club directors aren’t losing sleep. Parents are too emotionally attached. |
That's great except the OP just made that up. No one said YJ parents would stay based on loyalty. Or even infer it. |
Phrasing was weird but I think this was meant in general and not that YJ was filled with sycophantic parents. All clubs have some level of this on their teams. |
MCE 2030 DEFINITELY imploded. Parents did not see a better opportunity. They saw their team sinking fast and they did what they could to keep afloat. MCE as an organization will continue to exist as long as TSJ bankrolls it and Stone Ridge renews its contract for field space. Most MCE players just register for tryouts and pay. It's not the competitive program of the past. Just the same/similar coaching staff. Same cycle every few years - one team does really great and then is met with resistance and gaslighting and then the team gets frustrated and goes elsewhere. |
Is the MCE 2030 team still together? They had it tough last season. |
That was not the original 2030 team they all packed up and left 2 years ago and became a YJ team. |
What fall leagues are teams in this year? |
Fall leagues? Teams do fall tournaments |
