Pasco's biggest problem is that there are way too many clubs in the county. Yes, it's true that al lthe clubs are USA league types of clubs, but if someone wised up and merged a couple of clubs, say GTBFC and WC, then they would be able to play in better leagues and be competitive. Until that happens, parents will continue to take the better athletes out of Pasco to surrounding clubs.

There are people on both sides of WC/GTBFC who are banging the merger drum and the leadership is not listening in either place. It is beyond frustrating. There are now close to 60 teams between the two clubs. The quality would not be there at the beginning, but a merged staff w/ merged players would help keep the better older players in place. The whole current situation is just plain stupid.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat's the problem with mergers - the merged staffs. Everyone at the top of the masthead gets a title of director of something and the parents pay higher fees with no noticeable benefit other than to support the more expensive bureaucracy. Our family went through three different mergers/affiliations over the years. The only thing that changed was the color of the uniforms and the cost to participate.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI believe a merger between lutz and GTBFC would be the best move for the kids in this area. The combined program would have quality teams in all age groups.
Difference in Fees after U10 (They are virtually the same U9 and U10; plus rec.)
The cross county thing because Pasco throws a Tizzy about it.
Philosophical differences between MR and MC (DOC's; titles, licensure, etc.)
Okay, that is three things. As far as the player pool; it would be great.

Wesley Chapel has no interest in merging with GTBFC since GTBFC seems to want to control the terms of a merger. GTBFC might have better luck with Lutz as a possible merge partner. The bottom line is until they create a merged club, kids are going to continue to pass by the clubs in Pasco for TBU, WFF, etc.. and the clubs in Pasco are all pretty much limited to playing in the USA League. Someone needs to break out of this mess and establish a club that can play in the CDL, or other top leagues, not just one or two teams from a club but teams from all age groups.
