As I said earlier, I am in the area... but I have not heard anything. I do know that the Academy was scheduled to have a friendly this weekend up at the Sportsplex. However, on the their website calendar it has just been changed to a "clinic" given by Nicki Starry. The interesting this is that it also notes that this is not sanctioned by the Academy organization??? Seems odd since she is the President of the Academy and it IS posted on their website???

I am guessing Play Ball is from the Rec League that just got devastated by the Academy. The Academy took many players from one Rec League, not sure how but I am guessing that both groups are from the same area. As Play Ball said, the Academy took players that normally would have stayed and made for a great Rec League.
Certainly as Hotwheels say, it the parents choice. But maybe if the Academy had seen or been more aware that some of these players did need a little more seasoning and left them in Rec Ball both the Academy and the Rec League could have have functioned together and worked together rather than creating a rift.
