Surf Cup - Get Your Refund Now

Truth. Personal knowledge in academia. Grade inflation predominates. It really depends on your kid's high school. At many, you get a B just for showing up, even in AP classes. Ain't like it used to be. Universities know.

That started happening when EVERY kid starting getting participation metals!!! So much of society is turning to everyone needs to be the equal, and everything needs to be fair, and you can see the impact on things such as grades in school. Funny thing is colleges and good business see right through it, and those that were given free rides and those that wanted everyone to be on the same level, are the ones that end up getting repressed and never rise above.

My dd honestly wanted to play soccer against the best of the best and not get hounded to send emails in 7th grade. Unfortunately, the men took over the sport in socal and made two leagues and told public school kids and their parents that they cant play in their league because it's their league to make all the money, off the girls hard work. So they then decided that only rich kids that go to private school and get a waiver in their league that the men started. It's the men you guys, get it?

They've done this for boys way before girls. Don't kid yourself.

Or you just be a great soccer player that meets the requirements and has a 3.5gpa. At least UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, Maryland do and have for 2020's and 21's on the mens side.

Women's is definitely much different than men's when acceptance is concerned.

165 teams.

Just an FYI for everyone, whenever a team drops out, an entire bracket needs to be rescheduled. This is, as you can imagine, not the easiest thing in the world, especially when you get into odd numbers of teams and you need to start doing cross-bracket scheduling. I wonder how many 1-0 forfeits we'll see.

I hope the 2000 players and their families stay safe and virus-free.

161 teams.

What I truthfully don’t get is why there are so many on here who have made it 1000% clear they have no interest in and are not going to Surf, but yet they’re still on this thread incessantly obsessing about Surf. Have they nothing better to do? It’s pathetic. Move on. Even the person that started this thread about getting refunds for Surf is not going to Surf.

The most vehement and long-winded ones are likely the same person. Don't be fooled. And, no, they don't have anything better to do.

I just pray it goes off without a hitch for the obvious reasons. And if it does go sideways, soccer will be the poster child for the no youth sports movement and in a way you will have to carry some of the weight for the 2021 season getting hosed.

Agree, the sad part is that they haven't needed an excuse to hose the kids so far.

Prophetic statement, we will see how this statement ages over time.

AZ has delayed the start of the winter sports season to 18 JAN. Reason given was to weather the Holiday case surge. Certainly not placing any blame directly on Surf, but it's part of the calculus. It's an additional criteria that the politburo can use to pull policy out of their 4th point of contact.

Sad that we won’t have all of the top teams in the country but there will be enough. (>50 & > 60 for my kids) The jealousy is sad on this forum. It’s actually disgusting. If your kid isn’t good enough, so be it. We all have choices.

Isn’t this an open tournament? Meaning any team can sign up? I’m not jealous of an open tournament.

My kid is playing today a scrimmage 1 mile away from my house. You need to spend $1,500 and travel far away for an open tournament. You should be jealous!

Dude, you have the wrong emotion.

It's anger, not jealousy.

When you've been cooped up for 9 months trying to help, and someone else is still pretending nothing is wrong, you get angry at them.

I don't give a rat's ass whether your kid can beat my kid in soccer. I want this plague over, and y'all are still spreading it.

Who cares. This is the best of the best of the battle of who wants it more. This to me is more like taking on Big Pharma. Kick ass and have fun doing it.

What exactly are you looking for? Age group or club name?

I hadn't taken a look at the youngers but could. You need access to the registered list which requires a login.

This list is just what teams are registered at the time of view. There could be lags or updates: adds or drops in progress so it's a moving target. When the schedules come out know for sure but going to be a while since their scheduling for ~ 500 teams combined.

Fortunately by looking at the schedules, it will be easy for US Club Soccer, Cal South, CDPH, and all County Health agencies to determine which clubs violated the Guidelines and mandate. They are handing the information to the governing bodies on a plate. They might even be providing video evidence to them as well. The governing bodies will either ignore the violations which will likely bother all of the clubs that followed the guidelines or they will crack down on them and show that have some sort of purpose. The clubs from CA that attend can't say they weren't warned. You can't really blame the parents for going if the club and coaches choose to violate the mandate. Any clubs that do violate it are sending a message that they don't respect the authorities. Let's see what the authorities do in response to the big middle finger they get shown by the clubs and the coaches. You then have to ask what other lines that same club or coach will cross in the quest for relevance.

I haven't seen anything from US Club Soccer since they sent out a reminder in October that all clubs in CA need to follow local and state health guidelines. This was their last public statement that I saw.

Violators become ineligible for US Club Soccer’s insurance benefits, among other potential consequences.

We all want it over... but don't tell us kids playing soccer outside are bigger spreaders than the guy in Target, sans mask, or our Governor Gavin that apologized for getting caught not giving a shit.
