This was not the case in our game. The score was 0-0 when that happened. I have not seen a team try to use this as a way to delay time this season. Have you?

Shucks my DD wanted to try out her new turf boots.
I really like the build out line. It takes away the 50/50 punt. And it makes a goal kick a slight advantage for the team that is kicking the ball out. If a team didn't have a girl that could get the ball up in the air (not uncommon for many 8/9/10 year olds) then a goal kick is more dangerous than a corner kick. Just camp out outside the 18 and wait for a flub to come to you. And many teams probably spent way too much time working on taking and defending goal kicks.

The field that we practice on at Pasadena High School is turf.
Is the practice field different from the game field.

CZ Elite's home field is the grass field in back of the school. Golden State practices on the turf field.
3-0 Beach Perez

Yes . Seen it posted now. Thank you.
There are some good SCDSL games this weekend.
In the south...Heavyweight battle as Anaheim Surf and Strikers FC - OC 2006 Egsl go at it. Both teams are off the charts in my opinion. Should be a great game.
In the north...2 games catch my Eye. First...Legends plays Beach FC Perez. Legends is the top dog in the North for sure, but Beach Perez should give them a game. Beach is coming off a surprising loss to RSC White last weekend, so I'm sure they will come out hard. This game certainly won't lack in physicality. Second game is the RSC vs. Beach Milner. Both teams have had a strong league.
Good luck to all teams this weekend. Hopefully the rain doesn't get in the way.

Predictions: Strikers, Legends, RSC. I'm not surprised that Beach lost to RSC. Beach defense is built more on physicality than soccer IQ. RSC is a good passing team. Beach and Legends play a similar style, but the difference IMO is that Legends physicality is a byproduct of natural aggression, and Beach's physicality is a result of a conscious decision to try and intimidate opponents. Legends does make some questionable tackles and challenges, but I get the sense that it's not malicious, whereas with Beach...I think they seek out physical plays. At the end of the day Legends has better players at this moment in time.
I agree with most of that. Legends is really good. However, I will take Anaheim over Strikers. In the South, they seem to be the top 2 teams to me, but SD Surf and Blues Rennie are right there (Blues tied Strikers but lost to Anaheim, SD Surf tied Anaheim but has a few surprising ties to others in league). The South doesn't seem to be as strong as I thought it would be...still some good teams, but not a lot of great ones.
Not sure where the questionable tackles comes from. I know the other team sets the tone on how physical they want the game to be. Last weeks match up against the CDA Slammers was a UFC match. We new going into that game that was to be expected and the referee was overwhelmed and lost control from the beginning. I have never seen this Legends team get bullied and they have been in some very physical games. The game against Dallas Sting in Surf cup Semi Finals was very a physical game.
Anaheim/Strikers. We have not played Strikers for quite awhile. Pete does a great job with the girls but I would have to go with Anaheim. They are a very talented group. Have a strong back line with arguably the best goalie in this age group. The center mid is super fast with ball and there top 2 targets are beast and finish with the best of them.
Legends/Beach. We have not played this team since Surf Thanksgiving quarter finals last year.
RSC beating Beach South Bay: Not surprising as Real So Cal has only lost 1 game so far in league (3-1 legends) .
Wish Anaheim played at home this week. I would stop and watch the game on our way home from Long Beach.
Excited for Surf Thanksgiving. Hope to see the schedules come out soon..

Beach tries to play a similar style to Legends in the sense that when the other team has the ball in its defensive third the fullback will press way up to try and take away the outlet pass to the wing and then send the ball back into the penalty area.
Legends fullbacks are bigger and stronger than Beach's and better passers. I also think that defensively the CB is better than Beach's Advantage Legends.
Attacking mids look similar to me, but Beach wins the advantage with their defensive mid. She doesn't really contribute much to the offense, but that's not what they're asking her to do. They want her to be a physical presence that breaks up any build-up play and protect the back line, which is important because I think Beach's fullbacks are undersized. Advantage Beach.
Wings/forwards. Forwards are similar to me. Legend's wings are faster and better dribblers. Beach brings a girl off the bench that I won't hesitate to call dirty. I've seen her drag girls down from behind, mistime tackles from behind and trip girls. After playing Beach I heard from my daughter that this same girl kicked and pinched her when the referee had her back turned. These tactics won't work against Legends.

What team does your DD play for.
Also the Legends also have inserted a defensive mid fielder set recently this year. She is very physical as well and is very explosive. We will have to wait and see that match up this weekend.( I will will pump her up on the car ride down to LB) LOL
