What makes a club an elite club.
Other than having elite fees
 
To me, Elite means that you turn away applicants. Meaning not everyone who wants to play for an Elite club can. Whether you pay for it or it is funded is less important.

For example, an elite private school gets more applicants than it will take. All of those people will pay to be there. In San Diego, Parker is an example of an elite private school, while the Children's School is not.

The only truly elite clubs in So Cal are probably LAG (not LAG SB or any of the other LAG affiliates) and LAFC. And both only start at U12. They only have their A team, and if you are not selected, you have to go to another club.

TFA comes close for the u-littles.

I agree with you.
If you are an elite club you don't need to advertise you are elite people will come to you. All these clubs advertising elite are beginning to sound like used car salesmen.
They remind me of the movie "Suckers"
 
I don't know or really care, all I know is my daughter's club is Elite -- they told me so. Right before they asked me to write the check for dues...
 
I knew there was no way Surf was going to let this one go without defending their "Elite" status. We are elite. We have to be. We are from Del Mar and everything.

Dear Coach and or Surf Marketing Team,
Thank you for joining today to post this. We appreciate the information. I am looking forward to your continued dominance in SD now that you no longer control the elite players in the region due to DA and now ECNL feeling that we need more options. I am sure you have super big plans (other than hopefully recruiting all the Blues players)
All the best.
 
Coach and or Surf Marketing Team?
There is no way - Surf has a policy that prohibits our staff from posting on sites like these.
 
Oh I see how this works...you just write it and it becomes true???? This is a fun game...let me try.

Privacy constitutes EVERYTHING...nice try to you as well tho

Wow...see that...now I dismissed your point by simply telling you it doesn't work. Man...you were probably on the ELITE debate team!
