2 games a day

Just got a message from SoCal that players are now allowed to play 2 games per day.
What a great way to give freedom to big clubs to have their ECNL, Discovery and Flt 1 players play on Flt 3 and 4 teams.
Way to go SoCal!

CLUB PASS RULE:
If you have a player(s) from your club that is going to club pass to your team (and are age appropriate), write the players name and player id# on all 3 copies of the game report. Players MUST HAVE THEIR PLAYER ID CARD (US CLUB SOCCER card) in order to be eligible to play in the game. A photo of the player card is acceptable as well.

FOR FALL 2021 - Players can play in TWO games PER DAY. There is no special card for the club pass, the player just needs their player ID cards (or photo of their player ID card).

NOTE ON CLUB PASS RULE:

Players can only club pass between teams, from their own club with US Club Soccer player cards. Players from other leagues (CSL, Presidio, GA, MLS Next, EA DPL) may NOT club pass to an SOCAL team within your club unless they have a US CLUB SOCCER player card.
ECNL and ECRL players are US Club sanctioned and are eligible to use their ECNL or ECRL player cards to club pass, per the criteria in the Rules & Regulations to SOCAL teams.

There is no roster freeze week-to-week for club passing players and they can be written on the Games Reports even on game day.

This is all part of the all new US Club Soccer scam. US Club Soccer lets the leagues monitor and lets them make their own rules, US Club will only get involved if its a major conflict, so they stay out of most of it. So, think about this, leagues have all the control, so who runs the leagues? Take a look, its all the DOCs from the major clubs. Now you have all the big clubs running the league and making rules that benefit them!!! Small clubs don't have a huge Player Pool to pull from, its the big clubs that will borrow top players to make sure their team place well. Funny all the Directors and Technical committee have ECNL teams, which they allow to pull from, but of course teams with EA and MLS Next can't pull players from those teams....this is craziness!!!!

The clubs aren't dumb, they know teams that win bring in the kids....the more you win, the better chance you have of growing your club...so sad they take advantage of parents and kids...At least when Cal South was involved there was some checks and balances....it's only going to get worse...I just don't get it, sure seems like there's a conflict of interest here?

Club soccer has a lot of fictitious marketing with a bunch of made up names and rules that can benefit a smaller group of players and clubs often. Everyone does just about anything they can do to game some sort of advantages.

Kind of like demographic capitalism, it works better for top of the food chain, the future you move down not so much, the middle tiers get some token rewards and decent standards but it's the 1-5% at the top that get the most out of things.
 
Obviously this is in the interest of player development. I mean, it is called Southern California Developmental Soccer League. Has "developmental" right there in the name.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I believe you can pay for a second US Soccer card for players in the other leagues.

haha...maybe that's why they took the "developmental" out of the name now, they realized people weren't buying it anymore!!! Maybe they have a little bit of a conscious?

Yes If your club is a member of USclub you can get a player card pretty easily by paying the fee and submitting the waviers and paperwork. Of course the club and league name is normally required.

Clubs have a right to register teams with multiple organizations for USclub. One card can be used for all most of the time unless at state association required something additional.
 
Anyone know who runs their web hosting? Sooooo sllooooowwwwwwwwww

Some Japanese holding company (Nippon T&T) Provider in a town: Greenwood Village, Colorado that nobody knows about. Must have cheap land, electricity or hosting rates or something?

At least they updated the look and feel from that middle schoolers design they had for years previously.
 
Because keepers are crazy!!! Actually, I have changed my thinking on this as my kid has gotten older. 1 game per day unless it is a tournament, and those should be kept to a minimum. Too much wear and tear on the field players. The keepers could have a weekend with nothing to do, then again they could face tons of shots and lots of breakaways - too little reward for the risk.

I won't tell others what to do, but I encourage parents keep their kids minutes down to a manageable level.
As a dad of U17 twin keepers (boy and girl), I agree to these 2 statements in bold...lol

Professionals play, at most, two 90 minute games per WEEK, right? There's a good reason they don't have games more often because they'd make more money if they did. Not only are games hard on players physically, but they also take a lot out of the player emotionally. They need downtime.

Just the front end. The schedules/standings are the same as before.

"Due to increased traffic, team pages are temporarily unavailable. Peak traffic is usually between the hours of 6PM-8PM and between 10PM-1AM Eastern For peak performance, please consider logging in outside of peak times. The team pages should be available again in approximately 20 minutes"

Nope- Been trying throughout the day and can't get in.
 
This is because too many teams played "Roster Chicken" over the past 3 months. They had 9 players coming to practice all summer and told players/parents "we'll be fine. There are players coming out to practice next week."
And now here we are with a week to go before our first game and that team now has 10 players. While the team an age group below them as 13 players. So those younger players will get the "privilege" of playing up with the older team.

I hope everyone has an injury free season.
This is my DD’s team. But they have 12 players so I guess we’re lucky.

You must be so proud! I have twin boys who both play club, and they actually share the keeper position(half & half). They're only 2012's, so they play the field as well. I love your story!
 
From the game-day instructions page --

"IMPORTANT: READ THE RULES and REGULATIONS on the website. Print them and keep them with you for reference."

Can't find'em. HELP!?!?
I was looking for the rules also and could not find them.
 
So the hype or promises didn't live up to reality when the schedule came out, the travel was too much, or did the clubs really have trouble filling those teams?
The travel is ridiculous at best. It's like they don't know how to use Google maps. If you are going to have 2 flights in San Diego you don't go with east and west, you go with north and south. As it is we have teams travelling almost 70 miles for 8am and 9am games.
