I was never a big fan of the WCFC style. Different strokes for different folks. You do have to admit they are the most successful club in SoCal though and continue to produce the most YNT players.

They are a successful soccer organization, and they do have good connections due to their success.
Many great players have passed through the Surf system.
 
So does anyone have any Spring games coming up? I know that UCF is playing the U19 WNT next week. I hear that Long Beach State has a scrimmage next month. Anything else on the horizon?

Yeah I guess beating #2,#3,#4,#6,#8,#16,#22 and #23 sucks as a body of work. Was Cal in the top 25 didn't think so. And I am quite sure you know more than I do about how SC is going to operate next year cause your kid is on the team. Your a tool and you wouldn't know crap about possession since you've been hanging out at Legends.

No my kid doesn't play for $C. Could she? Easily. Did they recruit her? Yes. Does she like playing kickball? No. Do we like the coach? Yes but not because of how the Trojans play. We like the style of play much better when he was at Washington St. We can debate this next year when my daughter's team beats $C.. again.

Yeah and Cal plays beautiful soccer. You are still a tool.

Looks like a round robin scrimmage is scheduled March 11th with Pep, LBSU, CSLA , and another the 26th with USC, Pep, and BC.
April 1st another with UCLA, UCSB, and Pep.

That is a nice round of scrimmages! Boston College is coming out here to scrimmage? I guess March in SoCal is preferable to Boston!

I agree. We will see once signing day comes and goes. Stanford has already sent out acceptance letters to their recruits so if she is accepted I imagine she will sign. If not we will know that pretty soon too.

Had no idea about this- thought that if they signed it meant they were already accepted?
Why make this big deal if you haven't already been accepted to the Univeristy?

Since top players commit usually with 3 or less semesters of coursework on the books it is an offer contingent upon admission to the university. Players that don't maintain their grades or take the proper classes end up not getting admitted. It happens all the time.

For most it is simply a formality. Most soccer girls have good grades and test scores (that's one of the reasons that I love it as a peer group for my player). For some schools like Stanford they reserve their admissions exceptions for the revenue sports (football and men's basketball). Almost every year Stanford loses a recruit for this reason. Paul is very upfront with his recruits regarding this (he was to me and my player). As it was pointed out to me in CM's case she apparently was committed a while back and waited to announce it until she got her acceptance letter. She had a tough freshman year so it took quite awhile to get back on track. I am very impressed that she pulled it off and it is a testament to her and her family. I've has many conversations with her dad and she is a smart girl (her mom is a doctor in Brazil). I'm really glad to see that she pulled it off. I would have liked to see her play with my player but you will never hear me bummed that a player picked Stanford. It's as good as it gets from a parents perspective. I was almost shocked when my player decided against them but sometimes players have their heart set on a specific place and an AMAZING coach and offer really sort of seals the deal.
