the issue in this case becomes where do you draw the line. Coaches kids play free, asst coaches are on the field and spend as much time, so do they play for free? How about team managers who organize the season for each team with tourneys and kit purchases and communication etc? Than the team...

TKBC - I agree. Competition is a great thing and keeps clubs growing and developing. If ND as in your example continues to roll backwards and the board sits idle and watches as the TD and paid managers continue to implement programs like Wolves ID camps and such than they will struggle and as...

North Delta has been the talk of soccer in BC for awhile. Many people are aware that several exec and good volunteers have left the club over some of the shenanigans the last president did that resulted in him being suspended from soccer for a long time. Many have left already for CFC or gone to...

my concern is not with TD's developing programming, my concern is that they are managing the club. The club GM or ED under the guidance and monitoring of the executive should be managing the club. The day to day stuff including financials, staff, schedules, volunteers disctrict involvement etc...

I have been involved in youth soccer my entire life it seems. I am in Coquitlam and have 2 kids that have gone through the system. My last one just graduated. In my opinion....it depends on the size of the club and many factors. If the operating budget of a club can justify a club head coach...

ED or GM whatever the title is. They have a non-executive non-voting employee that manages the club. Executive Director is the title. Same as GM at VFC. Same role just different titles. Contact Our Club (link to CFC web site with contact. Executive Director is the title in this case. I have...

Agreed. CFC is a well run club. The executive holds the GM accountable. Their was process in the hiring and they hired a person with experience in both soccer and business. The challenge with some if the other clubs us they are volunteer run or have appointed the dominant volunteer as the Paid...

The scam is they market it as an identification camp. It's not. It has nothing to do with being identified. And yes I agree that individuals need to research but is it not incumbent on the club to properly inform and educate it's paying members? Why should a club member have to research that...

exactly - they got to go to England and it only cost $1700 for flight. $1500 for food and accommodations and $499 for the camp that included a free t shirt. There are quality camps in Canada and the lower mainland for that matter that you likely would get away with just the $499. Now if you want...

The Delta Wolverhampton camp is a farce. You pay an inflated amount of money to go to a licensed camp whereby it has nothing to do with the club Wolverhampton. Than they select nearly half the players and give them an opportunity to pay a larger dollar amount to go to another soccer camp in...

good laugh... Thanks Admin

Maybe BC Soccer should do similar to hockey and have scouts in these remote areas. Pay could be based on a scale of development. Such that if a child is scouted and recognized as obtaining a certain level than the scout gets comped. Maybe minimal expenses paid for or whatever. I dont think BC...

If you are u14 and living in Terrace BC your options to playing HPL are limited. Even playing metro isnt going to happen. So based on the rules approach why dont we just change the rules all together and say you have to live in the lower mainland or Victoria in order to get an invite to...

at the end of the day though most coaches are selfish and want the best players. Why would that be different on provincial teams. I cant see a coach saying he would prefer to take a lesser HPL player over a metro player just because of where he plays. Unless of course they are mandated by some...
