That will also get your club in trouble with NCSL.

I feel like this goes against their stated principles regarding community and integrity.

Where is their 1 spring team getting field space from to practice?


So not R.I.S.E.-ing?


seems more like S.I.N.K.-ing - I'm sure someone more clever than I can create a good acronym here!

because GA and Aspire games are done for the year (they play mostly fall games) so they probably registered for ncsl in the spring to have games


got it. thanks.

Yes a lot of higher level teams on the boys side do this, they don't have a lot or any spring games but they sign up for NCSL games basically as scrimmages for their kids who aren't playing in HS to get reps in.

This is such a joke. There is not an ounce of integrity amongst the people running this club.

Maybe they buyout/merge with one of them.


then what's the point? they aren't doing this to make money, it's simply just a club built on a hatred of GFR.
