My dd was on my ass at last Cup because of Villa De La Valle, not to mention the 5 frwy south traffic jam and accidents. We left 2 hours early to eat and we had to eat in the car trying to get in because of the traffic. Neighbors above hate you and sneer as they drive by flipping you the bird. It take 7 hours to play one game. BTW,I got her 5 minutes early and in good graces with coach. Most top level coaches do not believe in excuses and if your late, you didnt plan properly and its on you. Add the fact the kid is not signed ((at the time)), well more stress on poor child. This is crazy!!!
 
Nothing they can do about it, unless they can somehow find a way to open the entrance off El Camino Real for tournaments. If it were possible I think they would have by now. As it stands there's one, slow, rocky lane in and a slightly less slow lane out.
 
As part of the agreement that gave Surf Cup Sports the lease on the property 5 or so years ago, they were supposed to improve the parking access and impact on local traffic. Have they not done that?

I was promised that if we came to the club the lights would be there by the time we got there. That was 5 years ago too. Well, the lights never came and I had to pull my kid out of school 4 days a week early to be in good standing with the GDA and reach her goal, U14 National Team. My wife took her and I picked her up. I got permission for my dd to do one of the practices from her back yard so it was only three days a week. The poor thing never missed and always gave it her all. On top of that, they were monitored with some GPS device to call them out in front of their peers for not running long enough in the game. My dd is not a long distance runner so she had high miles one game and low miles next game, depending on the freaking matchup that day. #10 Natty was nice for the club and all the cars they charge $12 for is nice too. My dd is super grateful to have a part in all the success :) I think the Doc was told to just tell me that the Lights will be turned on for night practices so no missing school, which was my wife's #1 objection. I had two big OBJECTIONS before we signed our life away to the family and the bosses. The other two objections that were handled by the liar was just as sinister. Lying to a 13 year old to get her goals is shameful, MOO!!!!

the fields down there are sh**ty too. Lots of bumps on the middle of the pitch and they're always small. I much prefer Oceanside even with its fresh manure smells. (the closer drive always helps too)

It's not manure, it's landscaping debris compost.

Wow! It is that bad this weekend? The Surf Cup olders were easy. I never waiting at all no matter the time or day I arrived. Same with the ECNL showcase there a couple weeks prior.

Did you fly in with a Helicopter or 7am?
 
For the older age groups last week, the boys played in Oceanside and the girls played in Del Mar. Games were also spread out over 3 days.

For the youngers, I believe all games are being played in Del Mar over 2 days. Expect another bad day of traffic tomorrow.
 
For $12 per car, not just tournaments, but also league games that are there, why are the roads not even paved?? Wonder where all this parking money is going?

I don't believe they are allowed to pave the roads. I seem to remember there being some type of restriction and I believe it has to do with rainwater runoff.
 
I guess one of the privileges of having games at 7.45am both days is not having to be in line for parking, then…
