still relatively new at the club scene...two years. We brought a team from a smaller community club to a bigger community club only to have one of those big guys gobbled up the club we moved to. All of the kids and parents are great together plus they have developed from a scrappy bronze team to a flight two team in three years time. One concern is obviously fees. Also, our team are made up a bunch of decent players plus three great players (one of which plays up an age group) so the teams other concern is that would the club pluck those two or three great players from us and transfer them to the better team? We told the dir that we came here as a team, the boys grew as a team (albeit some at different spurts)....WHhat is everyone's thought on this? Thanks!

What age group?
Do the 3 super talented players have opportunities to play with a higher flight or an older age group once in a while?
Moving teams for them on a permanent basis may work out for them. Or it could be a disaster.
Messing with team chemistry is a bit of a gamble.
And what is the ultimate end goal for each player?

Really good points being made above.

Opinion, based on observations: Flight Two teams as existing teams only matter to SCDSL Big Clubs as revenue streams. That is: Clubs aren't planning for Flight 2 teams to develop and grow to replace their Flight 1 teams someday. Just the reality of the talent pool. So either Big Club will look at this team as 1) consistent revenue and leave it alone, or 2) more players (income) and coaches (expense) to mix into their age group pool. Your coach will probably be able to offer a better assessment as to what will happen, based on whether he/she is being offered other teams in the new club.
 
Rebels just took over OVC and rename them into Rebels East...

Now clubs you never heard about unless your local getting gobbled up......

Is LAUFA going to be re branded RCD Espanyol now that are partners?

Wonder if USSDA cares? Already have Barcelona Academy but it would be strange (not necessarily a bad thing) if more European academy are in the USSDA.

And they are advertising as being part of EGSL (Doesn't mean much) but didn't know Albion was part of EGSL.

If they keep doing these things, league will look like Rebels, Rebels East, Albion, Albion South, Albion North, Surf, Surf 4S, and then who are they going to poach from? Without poaching there is no great teams.

Within any of the partnerships, it's not called poaching anymore. It's moving the player to his best opportunity.

Once they are within the club's payroll, the kid "loses" the opportunity to join the "pathway" (Yes @timbuck I said it!) to greatness. I mean the parents are getting the prestige to say they are part of everyone's favorite soccer club without doing the drive, and the club is getting that dough without having to worry about some other club gaining prestige...

I though Legends gave up on coming down to SD after talks of having Rebels join them felt apart like 4-5 years ago.

Very few coaches have a Macro concept of development. Many who do wont get enough time at a club to develop winning teams. Clubs often want sales people 1st, coaches 2nd - but once you dont win, you are gone. Coaches who get into the big clubs in higher level positions go in promising everything and quickly cut when they dont deliver. dont have any sympathy for any of these types. problem is these types always find jobs elsewhere

They understand the business aspect and they know that youth soccer is a gold mine in the US. These 3 moves are fueled by fields control.

Wist niet dat Oranje een dure club was. Altijd gedacht van hen als een kleinere club onder alle de mega clubs in de San Diego gebied.

They are not expensive at all. Rebels is paying for the APFC because is cheaper than coerver.

The move has nothing to do with OVC, but more of gaining control of the East County and AM deliver the final blow to CSC, Hotspurs and Liverpool.
