The new semi-pro indoor soccer team Florida Tropics that will be based in Lakeland will partner with nearby Winter Haven competitive teams. Tropics is an unaffiliated indoor club that has market themselves plenty lately. Now they will have WH wear their jerseys, and their head coach CR is about to be named DOC. Just hope this is not another disastrous wannabe big-boy move by CR like the VSI move in Brandon a couple of years back. Desperate move by WH as their programs keep failing and players looking for greener pastures. Not sure that merging with an indoor league will make the club any better. Smells like a money move by the new and untested Tropics.

Yes this is not to CR business. Look at AH's track record and you will feel sorry for both the Tropics and now Winter Haven:

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNever heard of Winter Haven. Must be a small club. How could partnering with pro players on any level be a desperate move? Unless Winter Haven is paying the pro team, which is not how these deals usually work, then this only stands to improve the quality of play from a small club. I clicked on this thread to read about the Tropics. The expansion of the pro game on any level is good for Florida soccer. More interest. More future coaches. More growth of the sport. I am glad to hear the Tropics found a youth partner. Frankly, your post does reek of jealousy? Why do you care?

Let's Get Tropical
Did Winter Haven and Lakeland plan on merging? Would have made sense and then have a partnership with Tropics!

Since when?
