No announcement yet.
Is NEFC just a big business that has gotten too big with too many teams?

The reality is that the different skill levels of their teams gives players opportunity to get promoted, get better, work harder and may in fact, establish the pressure to achieve, to make that " top team" and it's a good thing. Rather than staying in a small club and just playing within their age group and only filling a spot because one was available this season.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCompassion doesn't enter into this at all. I think you are one of the biggest asshats on this forum and enjoy watching you make a fool out of yourself. Actually having a grand old time watching you melt down trying to cover up the fact that a whole lot of people don't like the Stars. It may not have dawned on you but all of these leaks of internal laundry sure aren't coming from the outside. Time to look for your mole. In the meantime I'm going to continue LMFAO at you.
Would you like me to send you the viewbooks for Wheaton and Wooster? You're going to need them by the time the Duke coach is done with you. Nobody needs or deserves to be saddled with you. Actually might get PTSD just thinking about it. Meanwhile, we'll wait....and wait...and wait for at least one parent that has been on one of your teams over the past 10 years who will vouch for you.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe analogy really doesn't work.
In a farm system players actually have been recruited because they have been viewed as having some potential. With NEFC, 85% or more of their total pool of players are on these teams merely for their value as a revenue stream. It's easy to say they provide IDP and college services for all of these other players because they know those aren't services they will never have to provide for the vast majority of the clientele. Often we have no idea who our coach is but they sure know how to find us when it comes time to collect the ever-rising fees. Seems like I'm writing another check every other day.

Which is fine, but honestly, there are plenty small and mid-sized clubs who will provide just as much opportunity, but offer better coaching at less cost. This isn't an anti- NEFC post, MPS . . . er, GPS are worse.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSee this is a bit of a fallacy. My child chose between a mid sized club's A team and an NEFC regional team. We went with NEFC because the cost was considerably less, with more free training and a better coach. We've also been involved with an even smaller club that was cheaper than NEFC, but we had to fundraise and there was no extra training and the coach was a dad. No thank you. We are so much happier moving to a super clubs supposed "revenue" teams than our other options.
