Latest merger affiliate partnership....

jpeter

PREMIER
Seems to be that time of year...

Strikers MV switching to an affiliate of OC surf which is an affiliate of Surf? Is this like a sublet or something?

Rebels from SD moving into the inland empire? Is this a affiliate deal?

Now this: LA Galaxy OC West. A partnership between fcpremier87.com formerly Cypress Premier to merge? or affilate? with LA Galaxy OC to create another branch called: LA Galaxy OC West

So what's next? Strikers of Irvine Downtown LA Branch?
 
At what point do people start to spin out of these deals and create small, independent clubs again?
Surely there are some coaches out there who think they could run things better on their own. Everyone talks. At what point do we see top coaches from competing clubs come together and break away from the mothership?
 
Looking from the outside Strikers has been a subject of discussion at various times over the last 3 years or so. How much of an effect is the Strikers merger the result of the girls program having some ups and downs? When Laguna Hills Eclipse merged they brought with them a strong girls program and quality coaches. This injection had an immediate effect. Two years later those coaches moved and there appeared to be an exodus of talent leaving Strikers. Particularly at the younger age groups. The following year the TOC/DOC also departed.

Or the reemergence of old club brands?

In today's market it's almost impossible for small clubs to compete with all newly created Mega clubs.
Many moons ago - yes, but not today.
 
Is there still a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?

Wasn't that their name at one point?

Name changed to " Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" in 16' but now known as the "Los Angeles Angels" as of the 2017 season even though there are nowhere near LA

Some of the names are comedy....club soccer has become:
Rent**A**Name** Visit your local Bend Over **A** Center pay some $ monthly and you can rent a jersey name of your choice; stop paying or get behind and we will come looking for you

Youth sports name renting will now become available for mobile payments

Because small clubs can’t provide good training? Or because the big clubs won’t let them into the party (league)?
 
Are they merging to be part of a big club or is rhe customer base shrinking.

To me it feels like the hype of club soccer is on a decline. We had a boom over the past 6 years and I believe you will see a drop in club soccer participation.
Thoughts???

I guarantee you that there will be a decline in club soccer numbers, because there will be a general decline in population. In 1990, California had a birth rate of about 19.9 children per 1000 in population. In 2000, that dropped to 15.5, and in 2010 it dropped to 13.9. In 2017 it was 11.9 births per 1000 people. In other words, our birth rate has declined by almost half in a single generation.

Those are the statistics. Now look at the empirical evidence. Every AYSO program I have seen has lost about half of its participant numbers over the last 10 years. Some have swelled the club ranks, but not that many. The AYSO programs are losing players because there is a lower birth rate, and hence, fewer children.

Bottom Line: Consolidation is coming.

Several years ago, when Pats absorbed IE club (I can't even recall who they were now...) to make it Pats IE/Redlands, I joked about what's next, Pats Riverside???? Well there is Pats Riverside now for couple of years.

Obviously not just Pats, its all the big names as we've come to know.

Soooo glad our younger kid has ONE more year of this madness. He'll be a senior next year and off to college after that.

We won't be done with soccer but just done with crazy youth soccer!!!!
 
I would think that the primary club would be more strict with who they affiliate with. Most referees that I know are well aware that Strikers does not have a very good reputation when it comes to sideline and coach behavior.

You mean like Breakaway and Surge did? You'd have to ask the parents of those players how it went.
