This thread started out with someone stating that it was Academy versus CESA.

My point is so what? HS soccer is not about this club versus that club. All the talent and capability coming to a team is meaningless if there is not a coach to define the team, its system of play and its approach to motivation.

I can't comment on the remarks made by clarkwgriswold . He obviously has several kids in the program at JL Mann and is infinitely familiar with the day to day operations of the JL Mann soccer team.
