Albion SC (East County specifically)

Anyone have any word on Jason ALdous bringing any new coaches with him and/or what fields he may be getting access to?

Would be great if we could get some high level teams out east but with limited fields not sure it will happen.

From what I have seen the new branch clubs never get the ‘high level teams.’ The high level teams typically always stay with the original club.
 
Current coach with 2 2012b EC surf teams was watching Albion’s EC 2012 boys game intently for most of a half yesterday.
Seems he’ll be following Jason over.
May be good way to add to the 2012 player pool

Aldous went all over town looking for a club that would take him.
Only club that would was Albion East County.
No one else would consider it.

I have heard he has been telling people he is a reformed man.
Reformed ? Why does he even have to make that statement ? Reformed of what ?

You mentioned in a separate post that you feel like you have a good thing going there with Heth and Nadjar. I didn't see that being a club wide thing there.
Your child must be on one of the 4 boys teams with a winning record.

Of the 15 teams at the club, ten, 66 percent of the teams at the club, are in the bottom 3rd of their division standings.

If you have a daughter playing at Albion East County, I think you need to ask yourself why.

I actually have a daughter on one of the teams with a losing record.
I do not think winning is the only indicator of good leadership. I have been far happier with her here than what we Dealt with at our previous large club.

I also think when a “club” is only in their third year that has to be taken into consideration. Yes, Albion proper has been around but EC is only just getting their footing.
I think the player influx from surf will really get them going. Hopefully they have a plan for adding coaches and not just taking whoever is laying around.

As for the “reformed” talk, I am not sure what that means.
Maybe the health scares he had with his wife over the years took its toll and now he is out the other side.
His tenure as director at surf was a disaster as an outside observer, but time will tell what impact, good or bad, he’ll have on Albion EC
 
Albion EC fka San Diego United, which had been around for 10+ years with a pretty decent alumni of coaches - Sami and Jason being the constants. Coaching and club culture was generally top notch. Teams were competitive in CalSouth/SoCal/etc. leagues before things were shaken up by the "Rise in the East". The Albion acquisition essentially provided a path to the more "competitive" leagues for players willing to make the drive. Downside is the higher level players leave EC to play at the new hubs in OB/Hickman/Mission Bay - which is probably why you see the standings referenced above. Those hubs/teams now draw talent from EC, Kearny Mesa, South Bay, and OB/Point Loma. For what it's worth, if your kid is being coached by Sami or Jason out in EC, chances are they are learning to play the game and will develop well.

She is and that’s what I’ve observed thus far
 
I hope he gets used to coaching with a miserable look on his face and unhappiness in his voice

It's a transformation the staff make after realizing they have sold their soul

Is this an anti—Albion thing or anti-Aldous thing?
Would like to know as we’ve had a great experience at Albion thus far compared to our old club.
 
It's a reality thing

The Albion dictatorship breads unhappiness . Which is why all of the EC coaches are miserable , and almost merged with Rebels . Same reason JH has been working w out a contract

The hiring of a shady scumbag should only raise more red flags
 
Merry go round of coaches

Make sure you chose the right seat

Looks like the unhappiness has less to exodus the other way
 
I will let your coach tell you themselves

If they haven't had the secret team mtg yet then you should be fine

After this weekend it will be very clear

It would be great if you wanted to provide meaningful help instead of what you are doing.
We are all just thing to do what’s best for kids here
 
Well if you have not heard from your daughter's coach then that tells me they are not leaving .

It also tells me they are ok working with coaches who lie and cheat and steal ( why you get fired mid season) . Are coaches really just that desperate or naive ?

Not all the current coaches were happy to welcome that element and are taking the teams the other way

What everyone who has prior experience with JA, and MM are telling you is: Stay Away. Everything will not be fine or okay with the type of associates they bring with them. Some of the current Albion EC coaches are only at Albion EC because they left EC Surf after JA didn't pay them for coaching teams put together by JA and his crew. Other coaches and players went to Rebels in Chula Vista, Albion San Diego, Legends SD (formally Sharks), and SDSC Surf over the past few years to get away from the EC soccer scams. I can almost garrantee the people who migrated to Albion EC previously will not be staying there with JA and MM coming over. It sucks this is happening to your team. It sucked for a lot of us when these peoples greed destroyed good teams, and a good group of people. But it happened anyway, just like it's happening now. With the uncertainty of how things will change at Rebels EC/EC Surf, I'm not sure that would be a great move right now either. My recomendation would be to do the same thing most parents who wised up to the EC soccer landscape did. Go check out the clubs listed above and pick the team that fits best.
 
He didn’t say anything yesterday.
We will be seeing if there is room for her at Albion Central.

It would still be nice if those with actual info would share it to help the rest of us.
