I am just a soccer parent, not a board member with any association. I believe that the initial interest in this matter has to come from the respective association board members in order for it to be taken seriously. As you stated earlier, each association has to want this to happen. I believe it can start with phone or e-mail contacts with each association to see if there is interest in merging and a discussion of the benefits and opportunities of such a merger.
If NECSA is interested, is CRSA? is CSC? is LSC?
Maybe we can view the interest in this forum. What about it Tripp, Dennis, Kevin??? Others?? I don't know any board members at LSC, but I am sure they read this valuable soccer forum. Is there interest there?? You don't have to do it alone. There are plenty of us frustrated parents, players, coaches out here to help with the merger...if you want it to be so. Lets be the best we can be....
