Out of curiosity, what club is this? I'm not familiar with any club in that area. SCCL-P and the big clubs pulling more teams out of GA soccer may have something to do with it though.

Storm They’re some sort of spin off of KSA. Seems very odd to for a coach to send players to a different club...

They have an alliance with KSA and All-In FC that is called Pro Player Academy though. Ga Storm is a large competitor to ssa and really the only other club in the Carrollton, Villa Rica & Douglasville area. My guess is a coach is probably not being retained by storm and pitching a whine fest.

Maybe he's not being retained? I read on another thread that those coaches are all volunteers.

Could it be tied to some of the issues others on here have reported with KSA and the potential fallout some of those allegations may bring...FG

Georgia Storm came about a few years ago by "Mr Bill" Rucker. He basically did a coup with the Douglas County Park and Rec to kick SSA out of Douglasville and take over those fields a few years ago. From then on they tried to expand even more. I believe he was one of the founders of SSA (correct?) before he retired or they got rid of him? I know they took various county small organizations over. One was Troup County for a while, but obviously Troup didn't like how it was run and they now are part of AFC.
Yes most of their coaches are volunteers. Very few coaches have much licensing at all. They tried to swoon people in by charging like $300-500 for academy and select. I think one of their directors, Josh Bivens, actually is one of the admins of this board and may have even helped create it, or at least that was what I inferred from that horrible other GA soccer forum before it was shutdown.
I don't have much love for them just because they took one of the southside SSA locations away. They really didn't take any of the players though. Most players saw through the crap and ended up either driving to Coweta to stay with SSA or going to the SSA central location to tryout with teams there.
Recently they partnered with KSA and All-in which another poster mentioned. Seems they must be giving up one of their locations, probably due to lack of enough kids to actually make the location profitable.

Most players saw through the crap and ended up either driving to Coweta to stay with SSA or going to the SSA central location to tryout with teams there. The year after they took over the Douglas County fields they ended up playing the southside SSA top academy team in the AFU tournament. I watched it as my son had friends on that team, and I have never seen so many coaches on the bench in my life. The SSA Director (SD) was sitting with the SSA southside coach along with another SSA central coach. Storm had a couple of coaches as well, and the storm coaches were pitching fits and yelling the whole time toward the referee, our coaches etc... I think it was Josh that was pitching the fit. This was like 2-3 years ago though. So I believe there is a lot of bad blood or was between Storm and SSA, so it surprises me that they suggested SSA. Recently they partnered with KSA and All-in which another poster mentioned. Seems they must be giving up one of their locations, probably due to lack of enough kids to actually make the location profitable. That a boy Troy. You tell em.

That a boy Troy. You tell em. Who? Sorry dude. I thought you were ok with everyone knowing it was you. You posted several times the SSA team that you manage. Combine that with when you graduated high school and I thought you were ok with putting yourself out there.

I'm confused. Don't know who or what you are talking about. I don't manage any team. I don't think I have ever said I have on here, so I don't know how or why you would assume I was this Troy person or a team manager? I do have a kid in a SSA branch location.

Troy's twitter handle is Troyd96 and you have posted about U13's divisions before the divisions were posted to the rest of us. I just assumed it was you. I know Troy graduated in 96 and you are also at SSA. So 1+1. But hey dude if you want it kept a secret then you might need to post less information about your son's team man.

Please point me to the posts where I said I was a team manager? I haven't looked through my posts but I don't remember doing so cause I'm not. Just a parent and yes a parent of a kid in a U13 team for SSA. Also I looked up that Twitter user and it doesn't exist?! Someone's trying to troll someone but I'm afraid that person is never going to know they're being trolled.

I thought the only wear Georgia club was Storm? Is there another? Cannot see Storm pushing players to SSA based on history.
