This is normal every year. Back in 2018, I was called by the new Doc at Surf trying to get me to stay after I told the old Doc & Club that we were leaving to play high school soccer and follow the rules put be for us. We were locked out of the GDA that US Soccer started in 2017. Anyway, New Doc sold me a free ride for ECNL, the #2 league at the time. However, dude was another liar and the truth was another league was forming because Surf got kicked out of ECNL and they started DPL. Good luck everyone. We need to get these liars out of the game. One who lies is up to no good and you don't want your kid training with a liar.I’m not sure they still have 4 2012B teams and I believe they lost one of their B2013 teams.
I heard The JA element spooked families that knew him from previous clubs. And not much communication leading up to and around tryouts lead many families to tryout with (and move to) different clubs.
