NATIONAL CUP O6 2018

For what it's worth, my first post was in Feb 2017 where I stated that I was a Texas parent moving from Texas to Cali and that I was looking for feedback on coaches in the SoCal area. So post my move, and now that I'm here, should I create a new account? I would love to get more advice from such a luminary as yourself.

Is that photo even from Silverlakes???
Yes
 
Looking at CDA Slammers record in CRL and SCDSL, they generally averaged about 2-3 goals a game vs. opposition (with the exception of a few blowouts against the weaker teams). Someone mentioned that the bench was generally 1-2 players deep during the season; however, now the bench is 5 players deep at National Cup. This same person said they've brought several players down who were playing up for National Cup.

Come clean CDA, inquiring minds want to know. How many new girls are subjecting themselves to Salazar's "vocal" coaching?

Actually I know where I remember you from now. This thread: http://www.socalsoccer.com/threads/ratings-reviews-for-2006-coaches.2078/

My guess is that your daughter ended up at a team that we played recently. DMCV Sharks? Slammers?
 
Who cares, Slammers are playing well and that's what counts
They are playing great. I’d probbaly still rank a few teams ahead of them, but would not dismiss their chances to win it all. They have some amazing talent, especially in the middle and have the potential to beat anyone.

Hahahaha....I have to laugh at some of the ignorance of the statement "subjecting themselves to Salazar's vocal coaching." Know your facts before you put yourself out there. Since you asked for CDA to come clean...here you go. Anyone that knows Salazar knows he never had the pick of the so called "cream of the crop players." He always took what he saw potential in and DEVELOPED players to what they are now. Does he yell, sure. Is it because he holds every one of his girls from his 02 to his 07 teams accountable in the same way.....of course! He knows what they are capable of and expects it. Is that a bad thing? As a parent I don't think so! To me that is why we all pay a coach to do a job and that is to get the absolute best out of our kids....do you disagree with that? Before making ridiculous statements on the forum acting as if you are knowledgeable and know what kind of a person this coach is by seeing him on the sideline...do your research! Go to a practice and see the amount of work and extra training these girls go through but also see the amount of fun they have. The smiles and laughs that go around....players giving coach a hard time and joking with him and vice versa. He cares for every single one of his girls and only wants the best for them. Most importantly he is the most straight up and honest coach I've ever known about the ability of your child...good or bad. But if it's not so good you better believe he will do anything in his power to turn that around. I can go on if you would like but I'm going to leave you with the stone hard facts that maybe these girls are just great players that he developed and the team is just a great team!

02 team - 5 girls selected to play in Austria last summer
06 team - 5 girls selected to ODP last year and I can bet more than that this year. 7 girls already selected to be on the Slammers ECNL team for next season.
07 team - First year having them and 5 girls selected to ODP

Enough said? Is that clean enough for you?

Trolling Lesson #1: Create a new account that is separate and completely unrelated to your real life identity. You put a lot of identifying information in that first post, and someone reading this knows EXACTLY who you are. If you're a Slammers FC parent, as I suspect, good luck in the 2nd round.
 
Wow, I really touched a nerve here... Funny thing is I was only reporting what I heard from another parent who seemed to know what he/was talking about.

Somebody grab a picture of the CDA bench for me this weekend... I need to add it to my collection of team bench shots.

Apologies to all I offended.

Where do I sign my DD up for this great team! ODP and ECNL and Austria, sounds like the best team around! Lol....... that's why the bench is so full.

Like em or not and after watching the past 2 weekends they might just be the best team around. Remember how this conversation started, it was bagging on them for having a bunch of girls on the bench and or borrowed players. So you can't now rag on em for rolling 10 strong. Can't play both sides of this one, we all know the smaller bench is way more respectable. #scoreboard
 
I blame the adults of course. I don't think anyone here has suggested the girls had anything to do with anything.

For the record, while I think it's highly suspicious, Surf C is a good team, and yes it's 100% believable to me that everything was above-the-board. Surf brand has lost any benefit of the doubt with me after their shenanigans last year.

I agree completely, FACT: The Surf A, B and C teams are all phenomenal. The Surf A team just played terrible that day for whatever reason and the C team played better than they ever had. Surf A is by far the more talented and technical team, but shit happens. If you place any one of those three teams up against any team outside of SoCal they will demolish them. The Surf organization gets a bum rap because there will always be haters whose daughters teams were either defeated by Surf or their daughter did not have what it takes to make one of their top teams. It is also a shame that the Surf organizations name was tarnished by being associated with Anaheim Surf and the well known shady practices of that leg of the organization. Last year was on CalSouth for letting Anaheim play on....that is shady.

Nah people dont hate because their kids didn't make it. I hate (not really) because they are always so damn good.

Maybe you are right and everything was legit. It was a meaningless game to Surf A and a must win game for Surf C, so maybe Surf C rose to the challenge and Surf A just didn't care. All teams have bad games, and we see the better team lose (especially in soccer) all the time.

But let's be real on the facts. Surf A lost once in the 23 games of SCDSL league and CRL combined, with a 50+ goal differential. Quite simply, they very rarely lose. Surf C had a losing record in both SCDSL and CRL, winning 8 games over the same 23 total games and with a -19 goal differential overall. Surf A is phenomenal, considered by everyone to be one of the top 3-4 teams in SoCal at this age group, and has a legitimate chance to win National Cup this year. Surf C is a nice team, but I doubt anyone would consider them as likely to even make it to semifinals of National Cup. I really hope what happened was legit, but it has to be considered highly suspect at the very least.

Any educated guesses on if games will get cancelled if it rains? Looks like current forecast calls for rain (but not lightning) Saturday and Sunday. I would think they want to protect the fields from getting torn up, but maybe they think the fields can handle one weekend of play in the rain?

I think they play. Kicker commented on this a week ago. The fields can handle the rain. Just lightening will prevent games from being delayed or cancelled.
