Send them back to LMVSC or anywhere else and what do you think would happen to SYC? Look at what happened to LMVSC and St. James when key personnel left. Slowly dying clubs.
SYC would be fine. They have MLS and GA. You can leave a club and take players but you can’t take the platforms with you. Coaches and players would continue to go to SYC for the opportunities.
Stj still has GA but they aren’t competitive anymore because the coaches and their players that made them competitive left.

Who wants to play for a club that can't get field space?

Yes. It used to be the other way around- LMVSC was competitive once a upon a time and SYC was not at all. Then the roles reversed and it has been that way ever since.

EM got his head handed to him. Lol
Travel soccer parent. EM completely mismanaged this. He first angered a heck of a lot of us with his Edge $1000 team fees. Then he got greedy and nominated too many people. Then he expected us to vote for his slate. What a joke. No one trusts him. And I support getting rid of all the other sports.
So you support getting rid of other sports that 1000s of kids participate in?
We were just told the optional EDGE training would only be $220 for 11 sessions. Which is a great value over the other training options in this area, which run closer to $40 per session. And it is optional, except for the 1st teams U13-U19... which to be honest, is a great deal for year round prioritized team indoor training space.
Secondly, 'getting rid of the other sports' is a complete mischaracterization. That is not the same as dividing SYC into SYC Soccer and SYC All other sports, it would be easier to manage if that were the case. No one wants to remove options for kids playing sports, it's just becoming an organizational management problem.
Looks like SYC has entered the chat
Off the top of my head if SYC soccer takes the organizational management piece away, the other sports have to suddenly:
* Find someone to do their taxes (even when tax exempt you still have to file) - even if they hire this out someone has to collect the paperwork
* Fill out the paperwork to get the tax exempt status, which I remember being kind of a pain when we went through the process
* Manage their own bank account and mailing address (will they still get to use SYC's office?)
* Handle permitting and pay county fees, unless it's already on the commissioners of each sport to handle permitting for their fields/gyms themselves
* Handle insurance unless, again, they already do it
* Get a website such as Playmetrics, Demosphere, Sports Engine, or Sports Connect, set it up, and run their registration, team building, scheduling, and such through it as needed.
* Post all the current information that's on the current website (rules, overviews of sports) on the new website and continue to keep it current
* Handle their own social media and communications - some sports do, some don't currently
Sounds like the current organizational management wants to focus in one place, not that it'll be easier for everyone else.
The other side would have to acquire field space as well as many other things. Don’t cherry pick.
If SYC Soccer is both rec and travel nothing would change about their acquisition of field space...

My DS is 1st team so it’s “mandatory.” They angered a bunch of 1st team parents.
Was told 1st team (MLS & GA) trains 4 days a week. and often 1 if the 4 training day gets cancelled, especially on the boys side. At best there are 3 training days, now 1 of those days is EDGE for an additional cost. The first team club fee for MLS and GA is already higher than the lower team. that's a switch and bait when i see it.
