Anfield, FCW, Mass, etc.....

LIJSL has reportedly filed what appears to be a frivolous grievance with USSF against ENYYSA in an attempt to take control of the State Association. It seems that since LIJSL president, Addie Mattei, did not get her agenda passed at the Annual ENYYSA AGM, she has filed a grievance with the USSF.

Folks in the know say there is no way the USSF will find merits in her grievance. LIJSL with the support of East Hudson, Staten Island, and the CJSL want to bar and new members from entering the State Association. This foolish move seems to go way beyond soccer and seeks to change some very basic legal and business principles in this country.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Addie and her new boy-toy Burt Wilkes, of the CJSL try and move ENYYSA to a Third World Dictatorship

Do you have a copy of that letter? Ussf needs to dismiss Addie and appoint someone who really cares about the kids, soccer and the growth of soccer in America.
How did she get that job in the first place?

There does not seem to be any mechanism to remove her from her position....Actually the entire board needs to go...but if they did then the market place would not adjust properly. There is too much negativity surrounding her, Bill Peet, Joan Czach, and the rest right now....I like the idea of letting this play out over the coming weeks.

this is just a question with no intent to stir up suspicions, i am just curious. does anyone know why lisjl moved its headquarters all the way out east on long island, and why they chose that piece of real estate.

701-9 Koehler Avenue
Ronkonkoma, New York 11779

who owned the land or the building before lijsl decided to buy/or lease/or build on it? basically can anyone help me follow the money? who profited from lijsl moving to that spot? because now that they are so far away from 2/3 of the clubs it makes it harder for them to maintain control over long island soccer. there's got to be a hidden money reason for them to move so far out east. or am I barking up the wrong tree. did someone have a hidden personal or familiy or business ownership in the real estate.

i mean if you want to keep Albuttsun and new hyde park and great neck and franklin square why are you going to make them drive twice as far.

say i'm in lawrence or east rockaway. it used to take me an hour round trip give or take to get to plainview. now it takes me 2 hours round trip to replace a lost player pass.

using Bill Peet as an example of the board, why is he still involved. they need younger people who have a sense of what is going on with youth soccer in general. peet must be 80+ - what can he contribute to LI soccer? That is why it is so hard for LI soccer to move forward and we are being run out of town by teams from other regions

Larry, has there ever been an official government audit of it's books? This might shed some light and bring it all out for the public to see.

Did it ever occur to any of you that MAYBE the OFGs (Old Fat Guys) and the WOL (Wrinkled Old Ladies) are there for the money?

Has anyone really gone over the reimbursements, cancelled checks, the detailed statements from the Hilton, their retreats, etc....

In my opinion, they are not there for soccer, but for the amenities you generous parents finance. In my opinion, I think they have their hands in the till.

Let me ask you a question;

The LIJSL shows cash in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. What the [****] are they doing with that money? They still charge for everything they do, $100 to transfer a player, they charge and almost force you to play the Waldbaum's, they charge for ODP, etc.... and I ask why? It seems to me all these programs should be self-funded, unless the LIJSL Board of Dictators have other plans for the money that don't include the kids? What do you think?

Larry, I am not 100% sure how this works, but let's say my team and parents are sick of LIJ and want a change. Let's say we want to enter into JSS. Are we able to do that on our own? What if our Club says "if you are wearing the name of our town on your jersey, you must register with LIJ". What if clubs block their own teams from going? Getting confidence in JSS is one thing, but letting teams go there with clubs tied up or "obligated" to LIJ may cause a problem. Especially since my club has multiple LIJ employees in our organization (of course not in print since that is conflict of interest, but they run things).

Legally they can. A club can choose who they will be affiliated with - USYSA, US Club, SAY, etc. A club can choose to be affilated with only 1 sanctioning body. Individual teams within a club cannot make that choice.

A team, however, can choose to move to another club that allows dual carding.

"dual carding" means more than one club. A club can be affliated with all 4 if they wish. But the if only 1, that is whom the team is affilated with as teams ahve no authority to choose whom they will be affiliated with. Teams affiliate wth a club. The club affiliates with the governing bodies.
