Quote: With CESA not saying what they will do, and assuming they do not put teams in R3PLE this year, will it be to late for the third place teams from state cup to apply for the R3PLE spot? From what i understand it will not be a guarantee that another SC team will get in.Could only be one 1 team at each age from sc in R3PLE.
I really don't know when those applications are made. We've had more than 2 SC teams in a age group in the past get in, but I can't recall if a 3rd team ever got in just because one of the two automatics chose not to play. And, I don't know if it would make a difference if one of the automatics declined based on choosing not to play or declined based on leaving USYS altogether.
Quote: That is why i think CESA may still play R3PLE. I cant see them screwing the rest of the state over.
If a "3rd" team did apply and didn't get in it would play in the league it already thinks it's playing in. I don't think disservice to the non-CESA club is being made in that sense. I think the disservice to the non-CESA club is being made in not letting the non-CESA club know it may need to send the application for planning.
HH, as with all programs, this is coach dependent. Our son's coach is top notch. But with that said, we would go where he is, not for the name on the jersey.

And we are not going to stay for the name on the Jersey.
Quote: Love it when parents hire their kids out to coaches. Teaches them a lot about loyalty.
Don't understand what point you are trying to make. The coach was a huge part in our decision making process, not the club. We wanted our children to finish a season better in soccer and as a person than they entered. We left CESA once become this did not happen and this was clearly communicated to Andrew and Pearce.
Quote: What are you going to do when your kid goes to college for a coach, who then leaves?
Then did happen with our daughter and the decision was hers. This has been a question each of our children have asked during the recruiting process but as you know, no guarantees.
We experienced the downside of this when a coaching change happened after club tryouts and it was a disaster but what can one do after the fact.
