I haven’t seen lots of college coaches , just a few , am I wrong?

It is Pride week and there are lots of things to do in the great northwest. Chicago or Ohio would be more central for the coaches and teams.

LOL, so coaches aren't showing up to the ECNL playoffs due to conflicts with Pride Week?

I'm going to go out a limb here and say all Florida teams, ECNL, DA, RPL, NPL face this isssue when competing nationally.

All the hype and/or bashing aside, without one centralized club in each major city like the Tophats, Concords, Hawks, PDA etc...it will always be just a bunch of towney clubs competing against major city populations.

FESA isn’t the only jacksonville club that brought guest players to play this weekend

Florida clubs/parents spend more time bickering/bashing than really tying to make this a great soccer state. The talent is here as evidenced by the recruiting that goes on. Florida is the 4th largest state by population so we should be able to put together some great clubs with great teams instead of b!tching about ECNL/DA/NPL or how much it costs.

Colourful in Seattle, and something for everyone.

Good point but how?

Please elaborate.

Because of when national playoffs occur in any league, i.e., after tryouts, clubs/teams will always have players with them that did not play on the team in the regular season but will be joining the club/team in the following season. Conversely, players that were on the team in the regular season but will not be on the team in the next season due to being cut, going to a different club, etc,may not (probably will not) be with the team in the postseason. I don't see anything wrong with either scenario.

I wish I knew. Too many clubs and way too many bad coaches.

Three, maybe four major (high level). North FL, Central FL, and two in SFL. Almost 3 million people in Dade county alone. One in N. Broward/S. Palm.

Fields are always a problem too. 10 acres with 45 min driving is not easy to come by.

The question was not how it is done. You said FESA was not the only one. Who else is doing it in JAX and at the same level FESA is.

Florida Elite U18 only had six of its regular season players making the trip to Washington and the rest were additions mostly from other clubs. Shows no loyalty by their own u18 ecnl players to not follow through until the end championship and no loyalty by the club for going outside the club to find guest players.
