Coach Movement and 2018 Assignments

Makes sense to me. Why would anyone want to go up to SCDSL for all the spring games when you can do them here?
My only issue is how would Michelle Romero fit into this? I thought she was employed by Surf Cup Sports. @TCD how sweet would it be if we had a new league without her?
Get Sharks, SDSC, Force, Mustangs on board and you have a real option plus a way to start identifying local talent you want to channel into the main club. Sorry but I think that Surf would be a much better option for people. Presidio is outdated in vision and mission. It's time they got challenged
 
I disagree. You get buy in from north of the 52 and hopefully SDSC and you have a better product than Presidio.
Put Surfs money and connections with strategic vision in place and it is a better product in the end with a tie in to an MLS pathway.
The other model that will challenge the status quo is the Bayern GPS one. With their leadership and again a pathway to regional, national and international play I think things could get interesting.
Surf does things in line with US Soccer. They are the only club with ECNL and Da. It would make sense for them to control the competition and leagues. We have far too many randoms with poor leadership taking money from families. Not everyone is savvy. Surf is a proven product with a proven pathway. It's time for low level clubs to stop pilfering off of people.

Pilfering. Got to love Surf people.

These moves effectively turn presidio into a rec league. Fact, when will this announcement be made?

Bayern GPS is turning some heads and I look forward to seeing what they can build here. Taila is a good coach who has had a lot of success with his 04 team and is probably the best non-DA option in San Diego.

The surf league would hopefully shorten driving time to games if they keep this within a small geographical region. But with the current internal struggle and infighting at surf, it seems like maybe they need to clean house first.

The world is ending. No I have actually been accused of being anti surf for as long as I can mention. I appreciate the nod.
What I am is a businessperson and I can see very clearly the plan and see nothing wrong with a club who has the vision and funds to execute this. Surf Cup sports does everything with class- everything is top notch.
So I want to ask you this in all honesty. Isn't Presidio a rec league? In all honesty doesn't it represent low level soccer. Why don't we call it what it is?
I am being sincere in this question.
Wouldn't San Diego be better served to have let's say 3-4 proven pathways to an end dream of MLS/D1 soccer? Why is that such a bad thing?
 
I am not trying to start any argument either.
I can just let you know as a business owner when someone slams a door in my face I either make a better product or run the competition out. That's business.
In this case I don't see this as a bad thing

Shannon joins the soccer city team in 2017. Shannon and the Sharks merge with Surf in 2018. Soccercity is approved in 2018. SoccerCity and Surf merge in 2019 with all the right people already in the right places with the MLS team being named Surf.

The earth is flat.

One of these two statements will be proven to be true. Which one will it be?

Sharks tryouts are in process. When would this be announced?

Presidio is whatever the clubs decide it is. In years past, the clubs decided how to do promotion/relegation, to add Premier level, and then to form SDDA. If those and/or other clubs decide they want to form a "new league", Presidio is the vessel to pour it into.
 
Fact said:
Each club is voted on yearly however, the existing members are generally voted on in a group. Someone could make a motion to exclude Sharks from the vote and vote on them separately. The existing board at Surf is the group that claimed that the rest of San Diego was not good enough for them. Although I know a lot of the younger teams and lower level teams would be served well by playing in Presidio, this would be the death of many clubs in San Diego and thus less choices for the consumer.

Is that so? Things must have changed since I attended Presidio meetings. Generally, if an established club was reasonably current financially with the league, and the club's adults had not caused any problems, they just rolled over from one year to the next. The only votes about clubs I remember were for admission of new clubs.

Hilarious.
 
Maybe a little back on topic- what other movement is going on out there?
With a few clubs getting new logos on their uniforms, will there be any changes?
Is OC Strikers effectively done once state cup is complete?

Times have changed @espola. I am sorry but you are way out of sync with current reality

Maybe so. I tried to look up the latest version of the Presidio bylaws on the website -- "Bylaws are in the process of being reviewed and updated." I think that process has been at least a year now.

There’s no way. Presidio is the past. This is the future.

Exactly. We need less choices for the consumer (aka the families paying for “competitive” soccer). If the free market says those clubs should fail...maybe they should. Too small to fail? This attitude demonstrates the problems with US soccer. “I am a consumer and my little snowflake will be a star somewhere...please dont shut down the smaller clubs with dad coaches.” Competitive soccer + competitive free market = If you cant make the cut, play AYSO and work hard for the next season.

Presidio is recreational. Most of the clubs that play in presidio play rec level soccer. That is not a bad thing..enjoy the league..just dont bash bigger clubs because your kid cant make the cut.
