[quote=Anonymous]Everyone speculating on CCRA's 2025 season and next year's move to Division E without first-hand knowledge should zip it.

1) What was "unexpected" was their coach of 3+ years signed a contract to coach again in 2025 but resigned via email the night before Time Trials.

2) The three "college kids" originally slated to be assistant coaches this season did a PHENOMENAL job jointly stepping into the head coach role. The CCRA community - and in fact, the entire MCSL community - rallied around them in support and quickly helped teach them what they didn't know about using team management software to develop rosters and lineups. The coaching part? They already had that down by virtue of their MANY years of swimming and coaching in PVS, CCRA, and their colleges. I haven't heard anyone - from A reps to Pre-team parents - complain about the job they are doing.

3) The algorithm did CCRA dirty putting them in Division B this year. One prior poster hit it on the head: "It also may just be a cyclical drop. It happens. They had a solid run with some really fast swimmers that were ideally spread across the team. But a lot of their strength is starting to compress now into the older age groups, so team wins are harder to come by." BINGO.

4) The decision to post a head coach hiring announcement early was nothing more than a desire to get into the Jenga game that is MSCL coaching early; it was NOT an indictment of this year's head coaches. Until this year, for continuity reasons, CCRA strove to have a professional coach each summer supported by collegiate assistant coaches and high school junior coaches. Wanting to explore the potential to return to that model does not mean that this year's three head coaches did not do an amazing job and will not be welcomed back with open arms.
