SCDSL Flight 1 applications

[Eagle33]

Ok, thanks. It was suggested by a coach in a conversation I'd heard that "the other coaches do this" (and of course there are instances when some kids have bye weeks that they get club passed to other teams) but it struck me that this (2+ games in one day for diff. teams) likely was not true.

What I was seeing happen was players passed down to "get playing time" for a game, but that would push the lower team's players onto the bench that week. Or at least once where a coach really wanted to "help" the lower flight team, he'd pass down several of the best players -- who then played the whole game while the team's regular kids watched. Probably not how the player passes are supposed to work.

It is allowed for Goalkeepers only to play 2 games on a same day in SCDSL. It is NOT allowed for any other player.

Our coach doesnt always start the same 11 players. He avoids calling anyone a "starter" or a "bench" player. Being competitve and paying attention in practice will earn you a start in the next game. Fuels competition, keeps unity, and rewards hard work. We all know who the strongest 11 players are but he is tougher on them and if they don't give the effort, he is not afraid to make changes.

The only player or position that can play two games in one day on two different teams for the same club is the keeper.

Too many flights made up of only a few clubs. Lots of inter-club play is a waste of hard earned cash! ...and doesn't benefit the players at all.
SCDSL is becoming just another league (if it hasn't already).
Uncontrolled growth and the lure of all that money has diluted its value in the So Cal scene.
Too bad...

So what if the club is the same name. Different players, different levels. If they all had different names that would make a difference? Why?

Because you're paying $80+!referee fees, whatever amount league fees, and whatever home field fees to play a team you could scrimmage for free at any time. Granted, there's no promotion or relegation, so the record doesn't really matter.

Think we're talking about 2 different things here. I'm referring to name only and I think you're referring to the same club that has multiple teams within an age group playing in the same flight correct? As an example my son's flight has 3 other Arsenal teams within the group but all are from different regions.

Yes, I was thinking that. I see a couple scenarios where this is the case.

There really could be seperate leagues for some teams with the same name. And then every few weeks, have inter-club play.
Strikers (there's at least 6 different clubs that fly a strikers flag)
Slammers (original, CDA and South)
Surf (San Diego, San Clemente, I.E., more?)
Galaxy (southbay, LA, San Diego. Why isn't there an OC Galaxy yet?)
Pats (at least 6 different groups)

I'm sure if someone could figure out if there's money to be made, it would happen.
