Thank you for the summary. Did they mention when coaching slates might be announced?

It seems more that ECNL is up everyone’s necks and trying to control everything from Coaching to Forcing alliances.
Good move for MYS. ECNL is kickball soccer except for a handful of clubs

Some would contend, if it were that important to an interested party they would have made an effort to attend the town hall instead of asking here.
Okay nerd. Thanks for the pompous lecture.
50 percent of success is showing up...
Sounds like the Mys parents were told not to share any information on the blogs because they don’t have any coaches slated. So we get McNerd here posting stupid comments about showing up.
DP- you're here demanding info and you couldn't bother to show up. Not doing the homework for you.
No one is demanding - perhaps people had other events/work/travel and could not make it. This is youth soccer - not all that important. If your kid is good enough they'll make the team, but that also won't change the skill level of your kid.
Well some make youth soccer like life or death situation. I wonder if it is a psychological problem.

Yup, not projecting strength here trying to hide everything.
+100% on this my friend! You hit the nail on the head. Mys is weak and didn’t get any good coaches on board. They can hide their information and incompetence for a while but everyone will soon see how weak they are.
Yup, they are going to tank quickly. Huge mistake selling out their girls program for MLS Next Jr.

Sure. Turn it around on people's kids because you didnt go. That is really low class.
You weren't traveling anywhere and we are ALL busy. We make it work as best we can. If it isn't that important to you, you can do without the information you seek, can't you?
"See here, Olivia/Jackson, this is youth soccer. It isn't important to mommy and daddy."

So you aren't friend with any other MYS parents who could fill you in? Seems odd.
