Manchester Township, NJ - Players for the AYSO team Manchester Township United spoke out to the press, today, on the difficulties of the previous season and stated that the lack of charter flights hurt their ability to recover and perform at their best leading to the disappointing season for the 10 year old players.

“Children in European youth teams do not deal with the distances that we have to cover to play,” stated Nadim “Bubby” Kandulapati. “I am expected to perform at a high level for my team, and provide the link up play we need to be able to dominate teams like Toms River Liverpool FC. Except that I can’t do this due to the fact that the travel time has left me so spinny winny crazy that I can’t accurately name all the Teen Titans in Teen Titans Go, right now.”

Kandulapati was not the only player to speak out as Jimmy “Squeeks” Davidson stated, “ Bubby is right! The lack of charter flights is really hurting our performance. We have games on the weekend and we are expected to be back in school on Monday. We can’t even handle the course load. Between the sprint drills, power lifting and agility work I’m having difficulty with math. We need charter flights!”

For their part, the administration staff of Manchester Township United stated that they recognized the issues facing travel times for their young charges but cited a lack of funds as the primary reason for the Charter Flights Kerfuffle.

“We already have our season rates at $2000 just to join and that fee only includes the 432 games we play, a borrowed kit, one container of blue powerade drink mix, a package of 3 year old orange wedge candies, and a silver flask filled with fireball for all the parents who have to stand out in the rain,” stated team director Bill Hughes. “We don’t even have the money to pay a coach. In desperation, we asked the strength and conditioning coach for the local high school football team to do it as a favor for one year. One of the dads watches a lot of soccer on the weekend so he is relied on for the tactical game plan.”
