This meeting at MPSC is for a "booster" club. Does it have anything to do with coaching, or club mergers? Or is it about volunteers and fundraising?
Challenge tryouts are over at BFA and CUSC/MPSC. Of course, they are after the same players.
I encourage anyone trying to decide between the two, to:
1. Check out the coaching staff at BFA vs MPSC. At MPSC (with the exception of two or three) the coaching is mediocre at best. I will add a disclaimer here that there are one or two that I'm not familiar with. On top of that MPSC has the same coach in several instances for TWO teams. (I consider Patrick Olalere and Andy Grist to be CUSC and Dusty Huddock is available at all clubs)
2. Talk to the parents of BFA that have left the smaller clubs and get their opinion. Ask which club helped more with player development
3. Check out the MPSC philosophy of not allowing their coaches to coach during games.
4. Read BFA's philosophy that is on their website.
5. If you tried out at your small club AND tried out at BFA, something is telling you to give BFA a try.
It's pretty clear, the best coaching and training for player development is at the U13-18 is at BFA.
I've been a MPSC parent for 13 years and fought the BFA pull. This year, we're going with the Bridge.
