A little confused

Hey all, I’ve got a DD starting DA and I am just thrilled, but here is what’s got me lost: I’m hearing from a number of parents that girls have been making transfers off the books which seemed odd to me. There have been multiple mentions of people using games as tryouts which doesn’t even make sense. I could see that being used for other sports maybe but with soccer how would that even work??
04 girls DA player just transferred from RSC to Eagles...with the animosity between those two clubs I highly doubt permission was given by one to reach out to the other. Rules seem a little fuzzy.
 
That is where you are wrong. If they are doing double privates with PD and MD I bet they would be starters. Also I don't know the skill level of these girls but I believe a few were with the US Soccer Training group so someone thinks they are worthy.
Toumi escorting a couple Sharks players to US Soccer isn’t the same as player competency.
 
Does anyone actually know the rules? Are they enforcable? Seems like they can easily be bent or broken as long as the coach you are reaching out to doesn't spill the beans. I expect this actually since there are technically no tryouts. Us soccer can't actually believe that a family would ask for a Release without having a plan in place!

Only rules I’ve seen are don’t drink too much and don’t be creepy around the girls and they haven’t been great about enforcing either.

Galaxy may know --

"Players seeking a transfer must receive a written release from current club before seeking Academy approval. Clubs must receive written permission to approach another player. Transferee is subject to a minimum suspension of head-to-head regular season games with previous club"

Not sure if/how they're being enforced though ...

Slavery was outlawed over 100 years ago.

Wrong as usual...

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Notice the clause that says accept as a punishment for crime. It must be nice to live in that bubble that you live in....
 
If girls DA is like the boys, players have to ask their current club for permission to speak with a new club, then they are allowed to start discussions. In this case, because WC is a Surf affiliate, who knows how the issue of the move came up and whether it is really about being closer to home. If I had a player, I would jump in a heart beat to play for WC and Soaf.

If Platini is coaching in an age group I would have my player on his team.

With WCFC going under the Surf umbrella, it would be awesome to have Platini move home and coach around the corner from his house. He would be a great addition to Surf SD!!!

Platini is amazing. My daughter did privates with him until he had to take time away due to health reasons. I never would have moved her from WCFC if they had allowed him to coach the the top teams in the age group. Glad to see that the wised up and are letting him work with the top teams.

Just because Espola’s comparison was dumb doesn’t make the clause relevant but nice of you to join us even if you only came to smack magoo around.

Coocoo.
 
That’s the thing. He told one Albion girl that the Albion-Surf game is her tryout...
I’m not sure what to believe about it because he’s leaving so he has no reason to care
Hmmm...I wonder if goals scored or goals allowed by that player will be the deciding factor. ;]

That’s where you are wrong. Permission was granted by RSC and everything was done above board.
 
They will not pull up from ECNL. The question is how many from Carlsbad and Albion try to jump ship to a higher ranked DA team?
Let me answer that for you.
Carlsbad/LAGSD = 0
And by the way, LAGSD and Surf tied 0-0 earlier this year.
I can’t speak for the Albion girls, however.
 
I’m not sure. Pauley sure was hot about it but no one is surprised. What exactly is he doing for the replacements?
What doesn't Pauley get hot about? I guess it is ok for him to recruit an 03 without permission but only he is allowed to break the rules.
