Where is Andres Deza

RB is gone from the Surf website so I'd say yeah, the writing is all over the wall. An official announcement is probably imminent.

Would you say this par for the course for Elite Clubs to change technical directors every few years or so? RB has a great resume in the soccer realm. Wonder what happened there? Few friends from Surf don't know why he was replaced.

A resume is one thing, reality is another...... replacing RB comes as little surprise.......

Because Surf execs are a-holes to work for and MANY of the families are relentlessly political and unheathily obsessed with kids' soccer. The fields are great, but everything else about that club is a hornets nest of drama. RB was coaching two or three teams? Firing a good coach and from everything I've heard from his Galaxy days, a good guy, mid-season is all you need to know.

No idea, but there has been what I personally consider a high amount of girls director turnover at Surf in recent years. That said, Surf is an enterprise now, and business decisions get made.

Mid season happens and no one should judge a kid, a coach or a Doc for the mid season move.

Why you say that? They have Juan Porras who I've heard is better than Deza.

Trainer vs coach is a different discussion. Both are good but what separates Deza over anyone is how much big D1 coaches and YNT coaches trust his word. Also, you don’t think Deza will try to bring Juan with him? If he really has full control Of girls side at surf he will try to bring 1-2 of his guys with him. Human nature. Work with who you trust.

I definitely believe something is going on with AD. Just unclear what. I always believed FCB would not be enough for him, and ECNL is indeed the top league. I also noticed that the GAL website does not have him listed as a coach for any of the FCB teams. I also agree that there needs to be a higher soccer IQ taught and he is one of the coaches capable of doing that. The EU countries women's teams are catching up and athleticism and size alone won't be enough IMO.

Your last statement is one I have suggested and discussed on here. Yet, poster responses are we are #1.

Wonder how the folks at FC Bay Area are feeling about this move?

Juan Porras is still there, right? If so, my guess is they are fine with it. My daughter worked with Juan and I would be fine with it. I remember moving to DeAnza and three coaches on the girls' side were Deza, Porras, and Fusco. When Fusco left, they brought in Mikey Varas.

Looks like he is bringing STAR academy with him as FCBA and STAR are partners in Development. I really only know about 7 coaches names and 5 of them are in the clubs my kids play for :)
 
There will be some serious culture shock for many Surf parents. To ease the pain, some words of wisdom:

1. Going forward, anticipate that no game will ever be played to win again, and game decisions will be based on long term development no matter how important you think the game is. Get used to playing out of the back no matter how bad they are at it, no matter how many times it results in turnovers, ridiculously easy goals and losses. They’ll either figure it out or will find out there is more to life than soccer. If the latter, hopefully it happened by age 12 instead of 15.

2. I dare you to get into a pissing match with him or bother him over things that your kid should be discussing with him directly. In fact, I strongly encourage you to throw your weight around and let him know how you know people and are the customer so he needs to listen to you. I also wish you the best at your kid’s next club.

3. Congrats if he believes your kid is a good fit for a particular college, your kid is probably 80% of their way to an offer as at least a recruited walk-on. Don’t be like @crush and f**k it up.

Okay Bozo. I don't know what makes you think Surf girls can't play out of the back.
 
So what’s going on with Star Academy? They only have a small number of teams playing in the return to play events and they don’t have a home field. They are playing all games away. What’s the point of keeping it as a separate club as opposed to folding it in to FC Bay Area?

I never said that none of them can, although I can also assure you that none of them can as well as if AD had started there years ago. Your kid plays on the U19 team, so it’s too late for him to help her anyway. I guess she’s stuck going where again?
