Iowa Premier ~> Alliance

Posted by Realignment Randy on September 5, 2025, 6:39 am

So what’s up with Iowa Premier returning to PGF? Didn’t Dickel (IP) help start Alliance?

Alliance seems to be getting stronger every year - why leave? Their tournaments, especially the ones IP helped run, were amongst the very best. I hope Alliance survives, it’s got a good thing going. For Midwest teams, there was no reason to go all the way to Cali for PGF given the number and quality of coaches at Alliance in Indiana last summer.

One org shouldn’t make or break Alliance, but IP is amongst the faster growing and better performing… this probably stings.

If true, I'd assume it's about money. Wasn't that their whole issue with PGF?

It's never about the money, its about the kids.

Check the PGF Instagram page. It’s legit.

Athletics Mercado now Iowa Premier. Tony Rico selling his portion and Mike Stith going into semi retirement. Your alliance format makes it very difficult on teams from the Midwest to actually compete at the highest level. I also think the financial piece never played up to expectations.
