While we are in the topic east islip slammers blue brought their red team to ruin third division. People like this ruin youth sports

That’s terrible. Coaches just looking for the easy win to feel better about themselves

It’s Sad because 3rd and 4th Divisions in a local tournament are the only places some of these novice kids have a chance to compete. Then you take kids from NYCS D1 and LIJSL premier and have them humiliate these kids and ruin their experience. There are plenty of high level tournaments for better kids. The coaches are pathetic and honestly the parents know better too. When you play at a high level it’s obvious when your coach has you beating up lesser competition.

This happens all the time, especially in league games. Clubs with multiple teams in age groups roster their players on all teams, it's called "flexible rosters". When they have to play a tough opponent and need the W, they will roster a very strong team.

LISC???

That's one of them. Just look at the clubs that have multiple teams in the same age group. When rosters are handed to the refs, there are over 30 names and some even hand written.

Hellooooo BARCAAAAAAA

Watched them do it this whole spring in 2011. Pathetically but it figures knowing the club

Need stronger competent governing bodies to set and enforce policy otherwise this happens …

I am assuming he meant the LONG ISLAND SOCCER CLASSIC (LISC) tournament, not LISC the club, as the soccer classic tournament was held over this past weekend.

Though LISC does field teams in LIJSL under other names...

They do? How do they do that without being a LIJSL Club? You have piqued my interest. Please share with me what teams are those you are referring to? Team names please.....

For the 09 girls, I know the girls academy team would play under Carle Place.

Are you talking about carle place? Combo of SUSA EM and LISC destroying local town teams?

being a former LISC parent I can tell you they do not have any teams playing under LIJSC. All their teams are use CJSL. They have no affiliation with any town teams on LI, like SUSA does.

Sorry your little pumpkin did not get a trophy!

For 10-11 year old soccer games? stop all the whining - there will be winners and losers - not everyone gets a trophy or ribbon, they have to earn it. if the kid is on age appropriate team - that's all the governing body needs to enforce and from what I'm hearing, that's what is happening.

they finished in last place in the Premier division, they aren't destroying anyone.

They finished last place because they had to forfeit five of their games due to their schedule conflicting with LISC. In the past, clubs would reschedule to accommodate the Carle Place ‘09 team, but the other clubs wised up to it…eventually.

Why did Meghan leave LISC?

Did you just pull this question out of your ass?

Wow people have nothing better to do but talk about LISC. The club is well run and organized. The kids are provided with great training where most trainers (coaches) are affiliated with colleges......my kid enjoys playing there. My only complaint is that I should of had my kid there years ago. Megan does a fantastic job!!!!

Meghan did not leave. She has been promoted to the GA League President. It is a secondary role to what she does at LISC.

This is not fair to say. Barca struggles with where they fit. The politics of leagues is RUFF for them.
They training produces quality...but they don’t have the opportunity for top leagues. Their C teams are great within a season or 2...so where should they play? In Spain they figure it out with a conversation.
The gate keeping a politics in US youth sports is super foreign to them.

Maybe Barca should in that case stop getting rid of their Local American coaches that have influence and connections. They did that to Joe Dilaberti and many others that wanted to be part of the program and help. They got rid of Brooke Derosa and that was a huge mistake as well. Barca is selfish and the executives do not want to work with locals because they have no respect for them. Guess what, in return, the locals and market have turned their back on Barca and Barca is becoming just like Valencia, irrelevant. It was a nice idea, could have been something BIG but the guys from Spain that are running the club have no respect for the market they are in. Many local coaches that joined and left the program have warned Barca that this would happen and all they got was a laugh and dismissal from the coaches and directors from Spain. Well, good luck then! give it 3 more years and the club will fold because we have seen a decline in numbers every single year where all others grew. Its a shame really but Barca has no one to blame but themselves for what they are facing today.

Brooke DeRosa? Let's not get crazy fellas, just another run of the mill LI coach. We're not talking Pep here.
