A little confused

Hey all, I’ve got a DD starting DA and I am just thrilled, but here is what’s got me lost: I’m hearing from a number of parents that girls have been making transfers off the books which seemed odd to me. There have been multiple mentions of people using games as tryouts which doesn’t even make sense. I could see that being used for other sports maybe but with soccer how would that even work??

Is this related to the SD Surf players moving up to WC/OC Surf? I am quite sure six months of driving down to Del Mar four days a week took its toll.
 
Is that confirmed I thought that was just a rumor last week. Good for them though they will strengthen any team they go to for sure. West Coast or back to Blues?
That leaves a ton of spots open at Surf now at ECNL since I can assume they move the ECNL girls up?

Welp, first reply and the cat is out of the bag :oops:Yes that’s the team involved. Those girls’ move makes sense I’m more concerned by how they are filling those seats. I thought we weren’t even supposed to be contacting coaches from other teams?
 
WC/SURF OC has 18 rostered girls + 5 DP’s. If Girls from Surf are moving to WC, that means someone is loosing their spot on the team, right?

If girls DA is like the boys, players have to ask their current club for permission to speak with a new club, then they are allowed to start discussions. In this case, because WC is a Surf affiliate, who knows how the issue of the move came up and whether it is really about being closer to home. If I had a player, I would jump in a heart beat to play for WC and Soaf.

I’m not sure. Pauley sure was hot about it but no one is surprised. What exactly is he doing for the replacements?

Why would they move ECNL players up when their 3 DP players are 2005s. OUCH!

That’s the thing. He told one Albion girl that the Albion-Surf game is her tryout...
I’m not sure what to believe about it because he’s leaving so he has no reason to care

They will not pull up from ECNL. The question is how many from Carlsbad and Albion try to jump ship to a higher ranked DA team?

Plenty of reports of them at Surf tryouts but I don't see Albion nor Carlsbad giving permission for them to attend. I guess that is why Albion is desperate to lock players into contracts for next season. So much for following DA rules.

Everyone is already locked in but it looks like $500 isn’t stopping anyone. Do you think they’ll punish that one girl who tried out?

There are at least 3 that want out. Not sure if they care more about wins or punishment at this point.
Edit-3 in the 04 age group.

Three isn’t that many, but could cause nervousness amongst parents, which leads to more looking for a way out. Since they don’t have a coach, I can’t say I would blame them.

Let’s be honest there’s no one on the Albion 04 DA that would ever break double digit play time at Surf. It’s a lovely thought but look at the teams.

That is where you are wrong. If they are doing double privates with PD and MD I bet they would be starters. Also I don't know the skill level of these girls but I believe a few were with the US Soccer Training group so someone thinks they are worthy.
