Sounds like some RL expansion in Eastern PA/South NJ, but nothing I would come close to calling a boom.

There's 4-5 clubs that have announced GA internally but GA hasn't announced on insta yet.
So I'd say no, there will likely be more announcements.
which ones?

The most recent club communication (posted yesterday, 3/19) is that ASA expects to hear from the GA early this week. The committee has apparently voted on ASA's application, and the next step is the GA reaching out to ASA. I disagree that the club hasn't been very responsive. I think they're doing their best with what has been a surprisingly long process that they don't control.
PP: correction -- I mean yesterday's club communication--3/17. Sorry for any confusion.

The same people who expect a soccer club to develop their kid are the same people who _____.
The club provides a coach, runs practices, schedule games, and handles registration and accounting.
If your kid is going to be good, they need to work and you need to support them and develop them. Reason being, you are in an area where lots of other parents are doing this. Do not expect a club to do it for you. Don not leave or judge a club for not doing it for you. You/your kid needs to do it for themselves or else lower your expectations.

Do you have an offer in hand? If so, I would guess you could contact the coach and tell them your timing to get an update.
No but considering other options if many of my DD's teammates leave because they aren't getting GA at ASA.

That would be an interesting BOOM! Strong National Contender out the gate..must stronger than any of our local ECNL teams
its true, but it is going to be a mess. FA is trying to do whatever they can to keep the team together and MFA is trying to do whatever they can to keep their club in the headlines.
Amazing what teams can achieve when they dont league chase...... That club is prime example
It's not all great though. That club makes heavy use of player pools and guest players. Sure if you're at the top and make it out of the meat grinder, it's great but kids are swapped out on a whim at very young ages. They also love gaming the rankings by replacing lower level teams with ringers. It's really not all that different than that Baller's "team" other than they are a real club and play league games.
Why all the hate on the Ballers team?
What's the point of putting together a national level team of overly privately trained 2015s to come in and destroy teams. It sucks for everyone except for those posting meaningless highlights. I assume Jeff Cup doesn't let teams play up, but they knew it would be a complete beat down.
I know the Vega's - GREAT coaches, one is in CA was AZ and the other is in NJ. Ballers was a futsal training/club a while back but the lack of people even knowing what futsal is killed that. I believe the younger Vega had combined with D'Ambra for the new futsal club in pitman. I see that the added Amirah Ali (drafted 22nd overall 2021 NWSL draft) as well, she is from South Jersey and played for the Winslow Tigers who was coached by Coach Rich King, nice guy if you ever meet him. That town team had some major players on it including Tziarra King (drafted 8th overall 2020 NWSL) and Jaylyn Thompson (played pro a few years in Europe) and stressed futsal and playing against the toughest competition they could find even if it was boys.
Shouldn't hate on a non-club putting together a team full of players they train. If they kick the snot out you then obviously your club/training is lacking.
Yes you should hate on them for ****ing up a tournament for no reason. Did the kids who played 18-0/14-0 games get a benefit from beating down on them? They're not better players today because of that, should have played more futsal or trained and posted the highlights on IG
Well, on the other hand those that got their tush handed to them now know just were they are on the peaking order and what they need to do to do better. Honestly though if Jeff Cup wouldn't allow them to play up that's on them. They played in the top bracket, those were suppossed to be the "best" teams. Guess they weren't.
Useless comment for 2015s. 2015s don't expect a super team from across the country to show up. 2015s how many times do i have to mention it. They're so young and this is all so stupid.
People do realize that even though your 2015s got destroyed 18-0 or whatever that it wasn't by some elite academy that trains day and night with kids who are years above theirs. These are kids the same age who train an extra day or so a week. The point is, training matters especially at the younger ages. You have far more players at the ECNL and GA levels who trained an extra day at the u-little ages then didn't and that include those who trained at future ECNL or GA clubs. Again, they were in the top bracket which should have had the best competition at the tournament. It isn't Ballers fault that their best against east coasts best wasn't even close.
