    John Herdman new MNT gaffer

    Tall about catching lightening in a bottle. Herdmans success has mirrored Sinclair's career. She is nearing the end of her career. Sell high, buy low. Would we even know who herdman is if it wasn't for the success of the female squad driven by one of the best female players ever in the...

    USSL 2017

    Shocking. So a league applies for sanctioning yet the board is unaware. Wow.

    Hope this is temporary. Lol

    MSL has one of those long standing volunteers I speak of in Peter Price and therefore that league and its admin is fairly organized. I suspect that if Peter chooses to step down or allow someone else to shoulder the heavy load than MSL will be in the same predicament as 4 district or 5. I...

    Hope this is temporary. Lol

    as radical as this post might appear there is some validity. It seems today that there are less quality volunteers or qualified volunteers to continue to advance the game. Those great volunteers of yester year that have the time (retired individuals) dont have the energy or technical aptitude to...

    Vancouver YSA AGM - 2nd MSL Club?

    I don't necessarily disagree with you @TKBC I am just making a suggestion as to why the 5 OOD rule was implemented. There may be other reasons but I believe that is why. The irony in your statement is by giving consumers free choice and options to choose whatever program is best potentially...

    CASCADIA SOCCER LEAGE - SPRING 2017 U8 - U18

    yes, yes and yes. Email data, contact names, overall brand recognition etc etc. Certainly nobody works for free. We are talking about them are we not? you just mentioned SX Cup. Certainly many on this forum may not have seen the connection. However all that said there is a required need to...

    Vancouver YSA AGM - 2nd MSL Club?

    District rules help protect clubs against themselves such that you don't have a mass exodus of members because of poor club management. Also for those rouge coaches that feel slighted from their current club and decide to take an entire team to another district at metro or whatever. It...

    CASCADIA SOCCER LEAGE - SPRING 2017 U8 - U18

    I suspect e11eleven understands the value of strengthening their corporate brand and all though there may not be a financial benefit to the company in doing this heavy lifting the management recognizes that having their name attached to the league in some fashion is goid for branding. Second...

    CASCADIA SOCCER LEAGE - SPRING 2017 U8 - U18

    From reading other posts it is apparent there is some frustration with the fall organized season having extended weather breaks and a thus a heightened demand for a more organized spring season. Clearly there is a need for an entity wether it be for profit to take on this challenge. To date...

    Vancouver YSA AGM - 2nd MSL Club?

    what comes around goes around I suppose. The reason why Metro was established in the 1980's was to somewhat combat clubs within districts poaching players and creating super club teams. This was occurring in larger districts at the time such as Burnaby. Coaches and egos from clubs like Edmonds...

    New Soccer Parent - Need some advice on future

    The kids will always find their place. When parents tamper and chase the dream or have a grass us greener over there approach it only hurts the kids. I have seen many instances where parents think their little Johnny at 10 years old is going to be the next Messi so they move year after year to...

    Hi! I Am a Not For Profit Association

    With any successful organization, the club needs to establish its identity. Is it a recreational all-encompassing club where playing and fun are the main objectives or is it a club that puts a higher value on development, winning, competition or as most clubs do can it be a hybrid model of both...

    Sunny Surrey: Pacific United Suspended

    Yes you have to apply for membership through bc soccer. that's why a lot of non profit clubs build academies that become for profit. those academies subsidize the fall season and keeps registration down while allowing the club to buy better equipment etc. in most cases from those I have been...
