Hi All

Been awhile since my last USA update and I know a few of you having been following my updates.

Well the daughters gone back for year 2 and taken over another local Newcastle Girl with her a year or so younger, always nice to have some Aussie company. She knew the girl somewhat but had no involement in her decision

Only 6 remain from last years 15, some moved on to life after college, some to 4 year college and some just gave up not liking the experience

Coach was sacked although I believe not overly fairly but thats the way to goes when coaching is a living. Have a squad of nearly 20 and from what I hear theres about 5 Aussie girls this year.

Hoping the girl replicates last years success that she had and will provide more updates on her and the team once the competition starts in approx 1 month.No doubt in the world she came back a better player and loved the experiecne just hated the crappy USA food.

I have become a resident expert of this field and have helped many people make educated decisions on if they should send their kid over or not, like before happy to guide people on all thats involved. Quiet a few people I have spoken to have decided not to go through with it but mainly due to the true cost.

Talk more in about a month

One of the funny things about US College Soccer is that I heard the same story, a harrowing one, from both Silvergale and a NPL senior coach, who have never met and live over 1000 kilometres from each other, about the same incident almost word for word, regarding the same team and same college players in the US.

Talk about the global game.:)

Suspect I have an idea on this based on your location. I hear NSR has excluded this college from their recommendations which is about all they can do given the colleges inability to play within the very strict but well known rules.
Its great having the girl back home, she has started to complete the few missing subjects for her degree and has also decided not to play this year. She had to get over some injuries but also still has the chance to sign up before the cutt off date in June if she chnages her mind which I am hoping she will do.
I have had so many contacts in regards to NSR from all around Australia and I have to admit most people hhave pulled out
