Yeah most of the 04's stayed with a couple of exceptions and the same with the 06's. Several 03's left from my understanding and not really sure about the 05's.

You're saying girls are still driving 2 hours, one way, for practices even though they aren't DA anymore? For Andres, I presume?
The good old days. I won't share I promise but those were thru talented battles vs De Anza and the great coach who demanded play in the back. Those were glory days for me as dad only watching awesome possession soccer between two of the best. My dd never talks about those days anymore. BTW, I like all the soccer talk Nocal is doing. This is fun stuff. Whose #1 up there for 04? I saw all the 2022 commitments and I would say the Bay Club is maybe #1?

I can def believe that wasn't their starting keeper but the rest of the committed/national team girls played all weekend.
The 04 team they used in the DA Showcase/Playoffs in Florida was def not their top regulars as most of them played up.
Very talented group of girls no matter what that play an amazing style and are very well coached!
For 2004, I’m not sure you can pick a #1 until Bay Area plays MVLA.
2006 I’d give the nod to San Juan.

You're going to see a lot of 'Quakes undershirts at UCLA in the coming years. I'm not sure who the #1 club is but 'Quakes was up there. I suppose Mustang, out of Danville, is the most "prestigious" club in NorCal. MVLA has done a pretty impressive job sending players to the next level. Davis had a great year, 2 years ago, but we'll see what the future olds. Davis is a small, college town and they can draw from the east bay or Sacramento, are ECNL and have a facility with something like 20 fields. California Thorns was another San Jose based DA, like 'Quakes, that was drawing strong players from 1-2 hours away.

Yep, Yep and Yep. They're in a good spot so why leaving if your getting good coaching. and training?

Norcal is doing well with their 2022 recruitments. Mvla and FCBA are neck and neck but I would given the edge to MLVA. You are starting to see some of those 04 starting to commit. What's your thoughts on the incoming 05's in Socal and Norcal?

Whats your take on the 05's?

I think the girls are driving 2 hours to play with peers that have a comparable skill set.
I know nothing about 05s. I only care about 2022 AND 04s. I do hear 05 is a very talented bunch. Mvla is big time with big time players and I forgot to add them to that old rankings in 2017. I put them in as top as well
You guys rock up there and are loaded with talent and play great soccer. I mean that. I was impressed with AZ teams playing possession. It's great to see

They can get that locally... at least in the bay area. I think they went for the DA and stayed for Deza.
And what about 07s, 08s, 09s, and 10s?
07 - I think it's between San Juan, MVLA and IR.

No doubt... Andres is kind of a messiah up here but I didn't know if they all decided to stay for him or leave because of the DA dissolution.

IR won't last... those girls are going to flee to SJ or Davis sooner than later. SJ is full so probably Davis. Elk Grove soccer is dead.
What happened to Mustang's 07 dominance? Did that blow up?

Yeah they stayed because of the coaching and recognition on being recruited which have worked out for them so far.
I remember the great Mustang tournament back in da day because it was my dg first road tournament. We did a combo super team from her old team and it was fun and tough. San Juan was tough and so many greats up there. Lightning from Carlsbad was there and they played really good soccer. This was before 11x11. What impressed me most was ganas and desire from Nocal teams. Nocal plays tough and possession so it's tough to guard.

Can't wait until practices can be contact and then maybe some scrimmages and then for NPL to start so all of the teams ECNL and GA will have a place to settle our discussions on the field

Don't know anything about MVLA, but man- SJ and IR 07's are so talented.
I’d expect Mustang to just get better. Strong roster that Neil M took over.
San Juan seems to have strong teams at many age groups. 04, 05, 06, 07, 08...even 2010. With Placer's issues, I imagine those teams will only get stronger.
