It seems that your DD has left the team.  Don't be bitter and just let it go!  No need to worry about Sting Brown team when you have decided that the team is not for your DD.  Focus on your DD and her new team.  Sting as a club has been around for a long time (before most of us have DD playing soccer) and has had a history of success.  Sting has capable coaches and proven system to put together quality teams every year.  What happened to Sting Q/Brown 02G team is unique and unexpected but Sting will do what it needs to do to keep this team in D1 after this coming season.  If they don't get enough talent for Sting Brown 02G, Sting will pull some players from Sting Higgy to win enough games to stay in D1.  Big clubs with multiple teams always do whatever they need to do to protect their interests.

Good luck to your DD.  Just hope she will continue to enjoy playing soccer and make it to ECNL next year.

LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE "SPIRIT OF THE RULE".  WHAT A JOKE!!!!

Not true. I have first hand knowledge of the situation. And I don't believe "up to 5" is accurate. Of course 2-3 could be considered "up to". That's not to say there isn't volatility and speculation at any club, especially this time of year. Teams, coaches, players....it's all potential shuffle until July (generally speaking).

Should this move take place, it would certainly be unfortunate for a club like Sting. In the end, only the coaches know what's really going on; the rest of us get to speculate and wonder!

Hanlon and Boyles; academy. Normal. Why the fuss. Hanlon is on her 3rd club in 2 years or less?

Richardson, O'keefe, Serrato...that's legit question, especially if all from the West side.

Fitzgerald has not moved to Texans. Anything could happen, but I know the details here.

So, 1 career advancement, and 2 academy on this list, and one has a history of movement. Normal. 3 from one division: agree that's a concern.

No need to explain or defend.  Just counting.

pro16 wrote:Ha; I get it. The implication is that all departures are negative and there are issues and oh-no what's happening. I'm simply offering that that's not necessarily the case.

My DD's (both) time at Sting has was good, so I'm not throwing a negative or a positive at the club.  Just saying that things aren't always as they appear, or are presented on this forum.

02mommy wrote:Well if all the rumors on here are correct then DT South is blown up leaving Stark as the top Texans team. Rezai/Brown is obliterated leaving only one competitive Sting team in D1. Although it hasn't been mentioned on here I have heard Renfro took a huge hit also so Premier is the only strong FC Dallas team left. Gio is gone leaving SRSA as the only Solar team. No Defeeters. So we are left with only 4 real teams in D1???  Probably only 3 since Stark wasn't hanging with the top teams already and despite getting 2 of Rezai's girls and 2 of SRSA's girls they still lost to a D2 team last weekend in the Flamefest tournament.
Wait, I heard Grubb was having issues and several were leaving that team too. Maybe we should just cancel the season due to the fact there are not enough girls to fill all the spots left open by the girls leaving???
