quick research GAC and Coastal allow one vote per parent or coach, CCB one vote per registered player or non paid coach, SUSC one vote per player over age of 16 and one vote per card official of each team.
The issue regarding supposed takeover attempts is there is nothing wrong with doing so, rallying support , exercising voting right , holding people accountable is about as democratic as it gets. Imagine if boards were hand picked and didn't allow me .Unfortunately the intent is all about control...
A bit of both I believe as the BC Tigers group used Pro touch Academy as its academy. Bassi was like 21
I believe so not a teenager, just a kid from the community that had some success, was on Whitecaps and U21 National team at one time as i understand it. The meeting when he was announced as...
I am growing tired of this stuff, adult politics destroying youth development. Issue exist at every club and district but nothing like what has been going on between a few groups in the Newton area. Honestly i am surprised their hasn't been fights or even bloodshed among these groups. We now...
Based off that criteria I agree, I was comparing BCSPL to all other players below that. I like the terms high performance or rep over Elite as the word suggests a certain social economic status...

"the elite of Britain's armed forces"

I think the 3 SU training kits are 3 different training tops for different practice types, then 2 game kits plus the jacket, pants and bags...
From Coquitlam Metro Ford Website, provides a little more insight to what the cost are. When I think about it a little more, regular clubs face some of...
I believe there is only two away road trip per year , once to Victoria and once two interior, maybe its four? That cost is included. I believe SU has like three training kits , but even that doesn't justify the cost. The biggest driver is the coaching staff are all paid positions to my...
Then we agree, key is what the player wants. WE also agree the cost is prohibitive even for modern income earners who wouldn't qualify for jump start or the like...even Metro is steep compared to div 1...
I will challenge this, my neighbors kid was getting half a game or less thorough the intake year and into the start of the U13 year. As an attacking player there tends to be lots of competition for few spots. His dad considered pulling him for the reason you sighted, however stuck with it. Since...
FYI Coastal registration season is Aug 1st to July 31st the following year.
Youth players are bound to their current team until the end of the playing season
Youth Players may register for a different team for a secondary season in the current registration season after April 1 provided they...
$10-20 for evaluations is pretty standard in these parts. Is it as money maker? Not really sure , depends on the numbers I guess. Say 10 age groups averaging 70 per group = (70x10)x$15 = $10,500. Now with that they pay for some 30-40 hrs of field time, and likely cover the paid staff wages , so...
I don't expect significant change but i do expect change. As it is many clubs are starting development teams at U8 unless you are selected at U8 assume little change in the roster , forget about having any chance in later years?
Kids change, there likes change, there body changes, and as such...
exactly, it all goes back to coach and parent controlled not Club controlled.
That said other clubs still have their own politics, most Div 1 and up teams stay the same year over year with the exception of a few players moving in and out. A few key years where teams do change , U10/U11 as most...
