Who will be coaching my child’s team?
• We expect most coaching assignments to remain the same so as to
provide as much consistency and stability for our players as possible.
The coaching assignments will ultimately be determined by the
Technical Director?????? & Director of Coaching???????, based upon player
background, experience and education.
• Just as we seek to provide each player with appropriate
playing/training opportunities, we also look to place coaches in
appropriate coaching situations. The staff will be a combination of
professional and volunteer coaches.
Who will be the technical director and who will be the Director of coaching?????
7. How much will this cost?
• Based on the findings of our financial subcommittee, we do not see the
merger of the two clubs increasing the cost of player fees. However,
player fees are projected to increase based solely on the increased
expenses such as field maintenance, user fees, etc. regardless of the
merger.
Volunteer coaches???? You are raising the fees to have Volunteer coaches????

Some team have volunteer coaches and some have the DOC and paid staff as coaches. I am still not sure what the criteria for determining which teams gets the pro coaches, but my son's team never has.

When did we decide to become a high pressure super club?
How popsicles create soccer players

Is this the key to building successful young players?
I was talking with another parent a few months back and he said something that has got me thinking. He said, “If you want your small child to become a good soccer player, here’s what you do. You get a couple small collapsible goals, a soccer ball, a cooler, and a box of popsicles and you take your kid to the park where other kids are. Get the kids started playing and every 30 minutes or so, stop and give everyone a popsicle. Do that once a week from the time they’re young and your kid will love soccer for their entire life.” I didn’t dwell on what he said much at the time. It was passing conversation between parents waiting for their kids to finish practice. But now what he said has pushed its way into my thinking and I’ve decided what I think of it.
It’s genius!
It’s not genius because of the details. It’s genius because of the idea behind it. You’ve got your kid playing soccer. He’s playing with other kids. They’re having fun. And there’s a shared treat involved in it. There’s no pressure. No standings. No screaming parents on the sidelines looking for results. Just kids goofing off in the park and having popsicles. That sounds like fun, right? And that’s the genius. Kids will do anything as long as it’s fun. Once it stops being fun, kids are going to lose interest.
So that’s my revelation. The more fun it is, the more likely kids are going to stick with it. The longer they stick with it, the better they will become. And here’s the virtuous cycle in all this… the better they become, the more fun they have. See what we did there? Coaching genius from the mouth of a parent who had two young boys on the field that night. And guess what… both of them were really top-notch players. I can’t help but think that their father’s approach had helped them along the way.
So what does it take to create good soccer players? Does it take fancy facilities? High-level expert coaching? Playing at the top club? Nah. What does it take to create good soccer players? Just a ball and some popsicles.

Is easy:
Palm Harbor + Eastlake = Larger club, larger pool of players, not a bad idea.
Colorado Rapids = What for? Doesn't make any sense, really bad idea.
BK involvement = PH don't want him, EL don't want him, get rid of him or this won't work.
The two main obstacles that need to be sort out are BK and the rapids.
