Coach Movement and 2018 Assignments

Maybe a star wants to play ECNL because they want to play other sports.

You are still allowed to play other sports if you participate DA. The only restriction (with exceptions) is that a player cannot play on another soccer team during the academy season. DA "stars" are playing other sports in HS this year.

Certain DA restrict not only soccer but other sport participation if it interferes with their practices.

That is what I was referring to.
 
95% of kids who make it to the last day of Surf tryouts are already surf players.

And that's big news?? That is all clubs. Tryouts are a joke. Guesting and practicing with a team of interest is 10 times more effective. At least Surf gave the kids a chance and intermixed the current A, B and new players. Unlike some clubs that just put their current A team on a separate field and let the new kids duke it out for B, C and D teams. Having said that, I bet the rosters were 90% set before the first day. But that's not just Surf. That's club soccer and especially the larger, more powerful clubs. Not sure why anyone would be shocked by retention. It's all a numbers game. $$$$$

Right, because it makes more sense to reshuffle the teams every year, abandon all camaraderie, team-building, and relationships among the players, and seek the unknown in favor of the known. How silly of clubs to try to retain players on teams.

Biebs - what I posted is not a rumor. DA doesn't preclude a kid from playing other high school sports. There are DA players in SoCal playing other sports in HS.
