Disbanded Teams where to go next..?

It is political but since DA started the talent pool has dropped tremendously. Last year they were inviting tier 1 and even tier 2 players. Your coach is the key.
 
Sure . . . if the coach is well connected. I know a guy who runs a boutique club who seems to have an "in" with ODP. Always seems to get kids ODP invites year in and out. I've heard the process is notoriously political. I wouldn't make ODP invites a big factor in choosing a club.

Where can I find a nice list of boutique clubs in Los Angeles?

Hmmm, don't know about lists, but I bet folks here will chime in. I found two for my kids by just looking through the club lists on the CSL and SCDSL websites and checking the team records for their age group. What areas of LA are close to you?
 
Someone will have a better answer, but one thing you could do is search this Facebook board - Soccer Announcement Board - and match up club sites with club names. Lots of tryouts being posted there the past couple weeks. (Not that you should go to a tryout - don't! - but the club locations will help you find the club, then look up teams and coaches, etc.)

(Amending my note: You could go to a tryout, and then ask the parents there, "Hey, so what other area clubs have you been to?" )

It is my experience that the boutique clubs are the ones that bust out more than the biggies. Obviously now a Days you can’t sneeze without spraying on a slammers, strikers or Pats team.

10 and 11 years.

Can you elaborate on "bust out more"?
 
10 and 11 years.
Are you central LA area, San Gabriel Valley, San Fernando Valley, Westside, South Bay, etc? Some areas are dominated by a few big clubs, without much local choice. Some areas are crowded with small club options. It also depends on how far you're willing to drive for practices.
 
We are in Culver City I'm willing to drive 20 miles one way if we feel the club is a great fit.
 
We haven't formally met but that's my aka when I feel like bill blasting someone's --s on this board for reasons that may or may not be personal! You feel me my good friend..
Dear Friend, Gee/ControlFreak, now that we have reintroduced ourselves may I say your confession of your double alias is impressive.

You do not remember me but I remember you very well, since we met twice. The first time we bumped into each other at the taco truck next to the Tudela training fields. You and I were having a lively discussion with good friends and fellow soccer dads Mr. Mac, Ajaxahi and TFCdad who I think was unceremoniously scarfing down a chimichurri burrito. You told me not to stand behind TFCdad since he has been known pass gas post the chimichurri.

The second time we met was at the world famous Tudela FC Community Service Image awards. I think Jacob, KJR and the whole team won awards which drove Toucan nuts and, as you are aware -from your other thread on the forum- he has still not recovered.

And finally, Dear Friend, may I say that in addition to being a towering intellect and soccer genius, you are a man of great moral principles and unassailable integrity. In the past, some posters-- not you of course--would start a thread as a way to "innocently " guide the conversation to some other, possibly more salacious, topic. So in this case said poster might be looking for a "boutique" club that is in the 90017 area code and then voila we are talking about Tudela FC and the many ways you think it sucks. But I digress since that is clearly not the purpose of THIS thread and a man of your impeccable reputation would never attempt such a ruse on unsuspecting snack parents in the Socal Soccer Forum.

Warm Regards as always...

The person who is the moderator of this soccer board can grant you access or remove you from the board with no cause or reason given, so the information you see there may be slightly biased based on the moderators feelings. I am guessing there are several clubs you won’t find any information on there because of this.
