“Crescenta Valley SC has enjoyed significant growth and success over the past 17 years and established itself as a leading player development program in LA county,” said CVSC Founder Reggie Rivas. “The new name reflects the club’s status, location and acknowledges the increasing role GPS continues to have with the club.”

"These changes will put GPS Los Angeles in a position to enhance player development programs and coach’s education, further enhancing what is on offer to the club’s families with potential opportunities in higher level competitions. GPS LA will allow GPS California to more effectively interact with the Los Angeles area as well as the rest of Southern California."

United FC severed ties with GPS Orange County (GPS OC) and GPS as of November 1, 2018, due to their inability to grow a club inside Orange County. The club went downhill when KM got involved with GPS OC. United FC released a statement to their membership last night detailing the reasons why they cancelled the contract with GPS.
 
Looks like gps oc had 11 teams in scdsl this past year.
Were those mostly united teams that moved over?
What happens to them now? Will United rose like a Phoenix from the ashes?

ALL of those teams are under United FC, we just dba GPS OC as our team names per the agreement. But has always remained and owned by United FC inc a 501(c)3 company. United FC is interested in any offers of merging with another club, or will RISE like a Phoenix from the ashes. We have multiple field permits at Great locations throughout Orange County. Any inquiries please send to president@unitedfc.org, I am sure he will reply back quickly.

Thant's one way to explain this....
 
Wow.

If all these clubs and people involved in merging and affiliating spent the same amount of time coaching players as they do going through these processes and promoting/marketing them, youth soccer in this country would be the absolute envy of the world. We'd have little Messi's and Iniesta's running around all over the place...or maybe we'd just have a bunch of Jordan Henderson's!

I'd take a bunch of Jordan Henderson's over a bunch of Michael Bradley's all day :)

What do you hope to gain from a merger? Why not just develop your players and teams?

UFC use to be a healthy club at one point. Use to be a strong club but had wrong people running the club - not just recently. At one time UFC had a very strong coaching staff but I’m sure you are aware why most left - and the start of hiring coach/dads, coaching nomads and anyone with basic licenses started to become the norm. Even before GPS got involved (reason GPS got involved) there wer rumors of the club folding. Players and full teams have left due to the instability of the club.
 
Anyone know about Riptide becoming a Surf affiliate? Looks like Surf is making a play to muscle into Albion’s territory. Central San Diego soccer just got interesting.

From what I was told they are now straight up Surf, not an affiliate. Surf has their fields and beginning 2019 they will simply be Surf right in Albions backyard.

This will solve some of the field issues at the Polo Fields that occur when the fair comes to town (June/July), and daylight savings time (December/January).
 
Do you think their board acquiesced all control to Surf?
No idea. Just know that if I was running the club the access to fields, I assume they are lighted, would be the big factor. DA requirements of X number of days a week of practice and talk of pure DA age groups instead of banded ages (talking girls side) means more teams which requires even more fields. Being in Albion's backyard is just the cherry on top. Keep in mind, I have ZERO inside knowledge as to the inner workings, this is just my speculation.
