Latest merger affiliate partnership....

[timbuck]

Keeping up with Liverpool?

That would certainly mess with the Surf / man city cup tournament

I could be wrong, but my suspicion is that that affiliation may be in jeopardy since Man City has changed to Puma. Many of the claimed affiliations are not direct club to club relationships, but through the kit manufacturer. Hence why Albion now claims affiliation with AC Milan (Puma) since Arsenal moved from Puma to Adidas.

My kids club was a successful small club but they didn't merge with Surf for any of then above reasons. They merged because DA & ENCL wouldn't let them into the party because they were a small club. Even though Socal Academy used to beat up on DA/ECNL teams all the time, the "Elites" wouldn't let them in. They merged with Surf and got instant DA.

When SoCal Academy merged with Surf back in February, they did not instantly get DA. That happened when Surf snuck in LA Premier through the back door in May on the Monday after the very last DA League game. LA Premier already had DA so all LA Premier had to do was change jerseys.

Looks like LAGSD has rebranded as City SC Carlsbad

Anyone else hearing that the new Temecula United will be an RSL affiliate with the DA staying in Utah?

LAGSB will no longer exist.

I haven't heard any news about LAGSB in awhile. Are they still planning to join Beach? Beach is starting tryouts already and I haven't seen anything about tryouts for LAGSB yet.

LAGSB will merge with BSB. Tryouts for both will be listed under Beach tryout dates.

Hope it works out for the girls. But who becomes the DA team, Beach or LAGSB?

LAGSB does not have DA. The DA affiliation is directly tied to LAG. LAGSB and LAG have always been two separate entities.

The DA for both Clubs is run separately. Galaxy DA is not a part of LAGSB, it’s run by the Galaxy “mothership” in Carson. Beach has “groups” of you will: Beach Long Beach, Beach SouthBay and the USSDA.

At this point Galaxy and Beach DA as organizations are unaffected by the change. Galaxy DA is likely loosing the 2 Coaches they contracted to Coach some of the DA teams, if true, they may need to replace them.

One new coach has been added and the other will soon be aboard.

Well that's a different "City" from Man City.

I like Carlsbad and good for them they went something homegrown although the sun logo reminds me of desert, phoenix or something else and not coastal Carlsbad.

Good Luck to all the girls. Both squads are good

I think they wanted a more generic logo, not something related to the city of Carlsbad so they can have lots of affiliates such as City SC - Temecula

I like the Local feel to the name but the logo is a no for me too. I see expansion to other cities as well.

Exactly my thoughts as well. City SC - Insert Name of City Here

Strikers southbay now beach officially announced.

jumped the shark if that's the case.

Arsenal and Temecula united next on tap, first week of Jan announcement coming but don't think it will be called city xyz.

That's not how they described the logo in the announcement.. inspired / from the Carlsbad city seal but they chopped it up...

There actually was a City SC before. It was in Culver City and they rebranded to Culver City FC a few years back.
