Looks like they shifted the subsidies. That price is insane. Like the vision is an MLM or ponzi scheme. Now how to keep them in the academy for 3-4 years when they pay the full amount.
i’m sure any parent who paid the previous years fees wouldnt mind some type of refund for whatever they werent getting that allows the price to drop so significantly if its not just a shift. obviously not expecting one ever. but god damn that would have been a good news story.
What price is insane--how low the entry level point is at U9/U10? Or the cost of Bridge? The full amount/amounts at the older age groups are on par with other clubs in the area, so if they leave, they'll be paying the same amount if they continue with travel soccer.
And there won't be any U9 bridge teams in the fall. That would constitute a new team being formed and all new teams getting formed going forward will be Academy teams--there will be no brand new Bridge teams any longer; Bridge teams are legacy/carryover teams from the prior business model (plus this past Spring when Academy let the ODSL/rec teams come over to NCSL since ODSL folded).
Another example of the snob elite bs mentality by you saying "plus this past Spring when Academy let the ODSL/rec teams come over to NCSL since ODSL folded" News flash those bridge teams are more talented and better coached in the boys 07 age than the crappy elite team the Academy has.

Why would they do that? Have you seen how bad the U9-U12 girls program has become?
Not seeing it. Their teams are competitive and the U11s are playing up a year in NCSL.
A few u11s are playing up but there are definitely u12s on that team.
