Scroll down to post #15... Oh and this kid has been doing martial arts for 10 years. Chicago Soccer Academy should have banned her for the season - maybe even removed her from the club. No way this is an isolated incident - players is a liability I would not want. Added an update - 6. Stuart Sports Complex admits to not checking for valid insurance - I was sent a letter by the the FVParks Attorney stating I have no grounds to sue - even before I said anything about that.
I just read the thread about it. Holy hell. That’s crazy. Not that my daughter would ever do something like that but at the first dirty move, I would jump off the sideline and pull my daughter off the field and she wouldn’t be allowed to play again for a long time and apologized for the unsportsmanlike conduct. But wow! Thanks for pointing me to that.
4 training session slated for next week @ Campton. They are only 45 minutes each because they have to get everyone in... Takes me longer to get there then practice but hey - I'm okay with that!
Hey - Try outs are on for Chicago Soccer Academy - call coach Tim right away! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=643711493027486
Club vs club. Permanent? Other local clubs will partake in Prem 1/2 etc and vie for additional spots at the national level. This is a prestigious start for the IL clubs listed. Wonder if it changes year by year? Forces clubs to value top to bottom development.. Assume this is logistically easier for clubs and allows for scouting opps. Is this a consortium ala ECNL or can a club apply? hmmmm The standards-based Midwest Conference Club vs. Club Divisions will include 14 girls clubs for the Fall 2020 season, with the clubs split into two brackets within each age group. The Midwest Conference will hold Club vs. Club competition in the 15U through 19U Girls age groups, and the corresponding boys competition will take place in the Spring 2021 season. Midwest Conference Girls Club vs. Club Division | Fall 2020 Brackets Bracket A Bracket B Chicago Inter Soccer (IL) Nationals (MI) Team Chicago (IL) Michigan Jaguars (MI) Lou Fusz Athletic (MO) FC United (IL) Sporting STL (MO) Libertyville FC 1974 Elite (IL) St. Louis Scott Gallagher (MO) SC Wave (WI) Midwest United FC (MI) Madison 56ers (WI) Sporting Omaha (NE) North Shore United (WI)
Heard Pauli's FC Alliance out of Crystal Lake is doing some merger with Chicago Inferno and take a look who has joing the Inferno coaching staff! http://chicagoinferno.net/club/inferno-staff-1/nino-da-silva
Peter Richardson let him go. Dad has a stake in Sockers as he is a founding member - sort of sketchy eh? I remember when DD created Inferno - that guy took in a boat load of upset parents from Sockers with really great players on both the boys and girls side. One of the reasons Eclipse went after DD was to get the 03 team - most of who came out of Sockers.
not sure who you are referring to with DD but the DD that I’m thinking of didn’t create Inferno. My understanding is : Inferno was already a small club, he brought in a bunch of kids that played for free or very minimal fee while the rest of suckers paid full price. After about 2 years the club ran out of money so the same group went to Eclipse to play for free until recently free rides feel apart & coach left. but in general I think you will see a lot of mergers because of the Covid-19 financial fallout
Not sure of the ownership. He had a team of all stars that he brought over to Sockers that included his son. The first year the team stayed together as did the incumbent Sockers team. They combined the kids the second year and the team won nationals soon after.
Just got June schedule... not sure how many parents restricting kids from participating but bottom line , a significant percentage not participating or not returning, not able to return... On the bright side, after the destruction of our country as we know it is complete at least a state run athletics system will make our futbol great success... just like mother russia!
What - parents dont want their kids back??? Every parent I know will be celebrating in the parking lots together when we start back up tomorrow. I really dont get what you are saying at all here.
You're talking for the June practices - that’s not indicative of who is coming back in fall. Two separate things.
totally agree. I’m fairly liberal and take covid seriously but I think folks did a great job of getting through the spring and letting the experts learn as much as they could. However, in our village, kids are playing with each other as usual. Big groups, small groups, wrestling with each other, travel baseball practices, etc. I think all but the most concerned parents are ready to let kids play organized or unorganized activities at the normal pre-covid levels. They are being pretty careful themselves but I think the ship has sailed on kids. when my daughter watches girls from other states on Instagram playing 3v3 and 4v4 or training 1v1...its starting to create a lot of jealousy and sadness that she isn’t able to. I think it’s time for IL youth soccer to let kids step out of their 10 by 10 cone square and take some parential approved risks.
It has been 7 days. They can work on skills and drills a little longer. At the field I have been to there are tons of academy, D1 and even European pros. They all have no problem working on skills and conditioning in small groups to prepare for their season. The only issue has been adults that are upset when their pickup games get shutdown.
Most kids that are passionate About soccer and self motivating have been doing these drills for months. It hasn’t been just 7 days. There isn’t any consistency right now throughout the state between different sports. And obviously nothing consistent within soccer across different states. I guess there are pros to having a Uber regulated sport like club soccer and their are downsides as well.
I’m surprised my prior post got no responses. Or has this become an eclipse and soccers only Forum. Creating a club vs club invitation only Midwest League which I assume could change yearly is a pryamid which allows for top level competition and scouting opps Unless you guys think this is watered down league? To me who has an elite level player at u13 this gives me hope beyond Oakbrook
