I just PM'd you.
Not answering publicly speaks volumes.
Well, I thought that Mocha Carter took it over from Joe Barth a couple of years ago. But now I see he's with another organization. Are they still a thing?
They expanded into Long Island a few years back, taking over another program which was well run. That program seems stable.
Or it could mean that I wanted to tell Francis details involving my own kid that are a violation of said child's privacy to post publicly. I had originally posted that I have no clue who is running Arsenal, but figured that was a bit flip to post as a stand-alone comment (although it is the truth).

They are National. It was local by Carter and National by Ajay. But now Ajay is Artillery Baseball and Carter is with PRD. Something must have happened recently?

Oh, the intrigue!
This is part of it:
So, it seems like the owners sold it. And, after they sold it, they wanted to keep using the name and brand. And, that ended up in the courts. On top of that, the guys running it weren't getting paid during the pandemic and bolted after a while.
Maybe that's the story? Maybe it's part of it? Maybe it's totally off? But, the link in the other post shows the lawsuit. And, Mocha is now with PRD. And, AJ is with Artillery. So, something happened.
I don't know about their national team. And, I don't know about the teams outside of NJ playing under the Arsenal name. But it sounds like the NJ Arsenal team thing is unstable now.
Just saw this posted on the TSA Facebook page:
Arsenal is looking for additional coaches at all levels!!! Good pay and schedules!!!! Contact us at (856) xxx-xxxx if interested!
how the mighty have fallen.
My son played Arsenal from 13u - 16u, played on the "B" Team with Smeltzer, Ockimey and Gatto.
"A" Team was political. lol
