Cant wait for this weekend it should be fun, good luck to your daughter. The seeding should interesting.My dd is on Strikers North and is looking forward to playoffs. Our team wanted to be flight 1 this fall but didn't have enough results against top teams to make that happen. Strikers South Coast egsl was in the same boat. South coast tore through their division and has the talent to knock off some flight 1 teams.
Pressure will also bust a pipePressure makes diamonds!
great post.I heard Norco from our manager and was told game times will be posted soon???.
At risk of sounding like a complete spoiled sport, the competition is fun and I'm glad to see DD out there playing different teams. But really? SCDSL waits for 2 days before the game to give us a schedule. The SCDSL is a fortress that none of us have access to and are all beholden to if we want our kids to play competitively (for the most part for girls). Has anyone been to the goals and mission statement page at SCDSLsoccer.com? It happens to be blank. Do any of us reading this work for a company that could get by with that sort of nonsense? I'm really not meaning to stir the pot. In the society we create for ourselves and trying to raise our children in, the SCDSL doesn't follow the normal rules. Because it's soccer, we say, we make an exception. Our clubs have to comply and many are run with a mission and goals that are palpable.
With the new age groups this year "upsets" are probably more likely than past years.
Yes if some teams should have played Fl 1 in the first place....Not to point any teams out but 49 GF and 4 GA....With the new age groups this year "upsets" are probably more likely than past years.

Just got this from SCDSL "We were substantially short on field space with 884 teams so we are using venues other than Silverlakes and Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park for games so don't be surprised if you see games elsewhere on a few specific play dates. All finals will be at Silverlakes"I heard Norco from our manager and was told game times will be posted soon???.
A team in that division Ga 45 goals..but they seem to be favorite. ...lolYes if some teams should have played Fl 1 in the first place....Not to point any teams out but 49 GF and 4 GA....

I've got 2 kids playing Saturday. I'm sure I'll have one a Norco and one somewhere in OC....
That's roughly 884 potential Coaching conflicts to also coordinate and that's just one "X" factor. No excuses, it sucks. But it's also not as easy as we might think.Almost sounds like they were surprised that they had 884 teams participating in the playoffs .
Perhaps they should have counted the number of teams a few weeks before the end of the season and made arrangements for field space ahead of time.
Since they had a fixed number of teams for each bracket it seems they could have done the schedule based on the seed number with times and fields already determined weeks ago and then merely filled in the appropriate team to the appropriate seed in the appropriate bracket for each age group and be done fairly quickly.
It seems like it was just a matter of doing the bulk of the work from information available weeks ago rather then waiting till the last minute to the inconvenience of everybody else..
If I missed something please educate me.
