[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take. I am upset to be placed in this situation by GFR and RBFC. GFR should be the bigger person and encourage the coaches to finish out the year and let the spring season conclude. But that is not what is happening. Whole teams are going to rbfc in the spring, mostly to stay together when parents form relationships and the kids want to see their team mates it matter. Rbfc is being too aggressive and their approach could backfire leaving the people that go with them without a spring season. I am very upset with gfr not doing more to communicate properly about this.[/quote]

Wait you're blaming GFR for coaches quitting on their teams to chase $$?[/quote]

Seriously.  What can GFR communicate?  This club is not advertising anything concrete and hasn’t mentioned a single coach actually going there.  What do you expect GFR to do at this point other than communicate that there is a new club that has an axe to grind and it potentially trying to take players and coaches?  They don’t even have a league yet other than super y?

And GFR did send messaging about Phoenix futsal over the winter to teams who were affected by it.

The only club doing anything wrong here is the one intentionally trying to disrupt things at GFR which is why families are being affected.  What coaches are leaving for RbFC mid year?  The only one I know of is one who quit to form this club so I’m assuming he’s not negotiating anything with GFR 😂 [/quote]

I think this a difficult one for GFR to message due to the lack of specifics (What coaches? What leagues? What fields? What age groups? What is the cost?).  Parents should keep a close eye on the coaching slate.  I'm sure the younger teams will win - and probably win big at the youngest ages - but will they be getting good fundamentals and technical basics?

It is easy to claim all of these things in mission statements, but will the coaches have the experience and record to back this up?  Development at younger ages often comes at the expense of winning every game.  If the kids aren't taught good fundamentals from an early age, they will have a harder time competing at higher levels in different clubs.  But it's possible RbFC is catering to families who just want fun and winning at young ages (who doesn't?), and don't see the need for strong technical development and pathways to the higher leagues.
