For the folks out there that are interested in objective information as to how to best develop your kids, I’d recommend considering the following articles regarding Liga MX Femenil opening up to foreigners in 2021. Also take note, that the U17’s will be traveling and training with the first team. U17’s will play before the first team similar to how JV plays before varsity in High School competitions. For the younger players that haven’t finished college Club Tijuana, Rayados, and Tigres are the best option in my opinion because they can go to college in San Diego or Texas (or Tec de Monterrey). For those graduating from college or not going to college there are 15 other teams in the interior of Mexico that will be looking for foreign talent.

The articles are in Spanish. If you can’t read Spanish just cut and paste the article in google translate.

2022 could look promising for anyone who would want to play some pro ball and then take classes at SDSU or Mesa? I used to go down to Baja surfing and taco hunting in the 80s. This one local guy had a taco cart that was out of this world Dre. Hot dogs wrapped with bacon and then killer home made salsa on top. Wash it down with some Corona's and shots and one is in heaven. Wake up early and be first to surf and get all waves to oneself for first hour. He had some pollo that was so juicy your mouth would get all watery before you took your first bite. Carna Asada was insane and just the bomb place to eat. All off a food cart. Dre, How safe is it today and and how much safer will it be in 2022? How many foreigners allowed on each team? Pay? Thanks for the information. When my wife wakes up, I will have her interpret it for me. If I hear you right, a foreign player could play in TJ ((if they can make the squad)) and then go to local college at the same time. It would be super cool if they somehow allowed the player to also play college ball. Or, they can work hard at studies and earn a deal and play ball in college and then go pro in 2026? So many options if one can hang and has the passion to be a pro or college player or both or none at all and just quit because they hate it and or are burned out.

TJ is similar to LA or the Bay Area because it can be very safe or very dangerous depending on what part of town you are in. In TJ, if you stay away from drugs and hookers and stick to futbol, food, and museums you do not have anything to worry about regarding safety.

I am not sure how many foreigners will be allowed; maybe 6 including Mexican Americans in that total. Pay should be negotiable as there is no salary cap in Liga MX. However, to date most players have not been paid well but that’ll change with the introduction of foreign talent.

I asked Austin at Cal if it was possible to play college and pro and he told me that there was a girl currently (Dec 2019) on Cal’s team that had played in the Champions League before coming to Cal but I don’t remember her name. I think he also said that the team could only pay for expenses in order to maintain college eligibility. I don’t think you can do both at the same time. But, I also don’t think it matters now that there will be NWSL teams on the West Coast from Oregon down to LA that will potentially play friendlies vs. Xolo’s.

I'm curious if your daughter's team has played a top SD Surf team in a similar age group, or any other top SD club team? If so, results?

 

[MacDre]

I'm curious if your daughter's team has played a top SD Surf team in a similar age group, or any other top SD club team? If so, results?

I do recall the Blues coming down to the stadium about 1 year ago. They played the Amazonas in the stadium. My kid and several others players were playing for CEFO (Baja California) preparing for a Scotiabank tournament in Spain I believe so they couldn’t participate. I am not sure of the results but coach Yazmin was fired shortly after so I don’t think it went well.

I’m not sure if the results matter also because Fuerzas Basicas is a developmental league and part of the maturation process is putting players in new situations so they can make mistakes and grow as opposed to focusing only on winning. If winning was the primary consideration Liga MX Femenil wouldn’t mandate that U17’s play a minimum amount of first team minutes each tournament. Also, since the league will be open to foreigners in 2021 it seems reasonable to assume that the best players from San Diego and TJ will join and be the best team in the San Diego area. Why would the best players in San Diego want to stay at surf when there’s a free professional option in the same community?
Xolo’s program is well funded and supported now and you can see the changes with Franky Oviedo’s promotion to head coach and the U17’s travel with the first team.

Initially there were some kinks in the program but the league is doing a great job of addressing the problems and working towards their goal of being the best women’s league in the world.

XOLOS's girls club came up and scrimmaged out National Championship team in 2017 in Del Mar. We were 04s and they played 03s. We won but they played us very tough and that was three years ago. My wife was very impressed with what their doing for the girls.

There are a few pay to play Xolo’s teams in Socal I think. I don’t think the Fuerzas Basicas team has traveled to the USA because a few of the girls are very poor and don’t have visas.
The logistics and politics of getting good local games was becoming a problem for Xolo’s because they are more in America than Mexico; most Mexicans teams are located in central and southern Mexico. So, the owners invested and now the U17’s get to travel with the first team. Problem solved. However, with 17 games per tournament I am not sure how they’d schedule friendlies with California teams.

The team my dd played with Surf came up from TJ Dre and were a part of the real XOLOs. I'm not making this up. I do remember my dd playing a XOLO tournament up in Temecula and my dd played lights out and won again See attached. When I first checked Google and typed, "club soccer Temecula" in 2010, I got Arsenal. I thought it the club from England looking to find the next Messi or Mia. BTW, she Earn It!!!

It's hard to evaluate the quality of the program with the information out there which is somewhat limited based on a few English-language searches. Sure results don't equate to development, but a pro team's results vs. the top amateur teams in the San Diego area would at least be one guidepost that would give me something to reference. U17s playing with the first team is great, but where can we find more information about the U17s playing other U17s and the program in general? I'd love to learn more.

I don’t think you can because it probably doesn’t exist. If you look at a map of Mexico and if you look at where all of the Liga MX clubs are located, you’ll see that Club Tijuana is very far away from the other Liga MX clubs. The closest clubs are Tigres and Rayados and the others are in the interior of Mexico. When the league started a few years back there was a lack of sponsors and owner support. Now that the owners are supportive and the league is sponsored things are changing.

Only the very best 15 year olds will play with the first team. The U17’s will travel with the first team and play other Liga MX U17’s prior to the first team games. If you scroll down on the article posted upthread regarding Liga MX opening up to foreign players there is an article under explaining that the implementation of the U17 program was postponed due to Covid. The President of Liga MX Femenil says the same Covid 19 protocol used for the first team will be used for the U17’s in 2021 I think.

I never receive any information in English. I have attached the initial press release that I received from a Rayados coach that was working with my kid on the Baja California team.

This is so rad Dre. It's an option for those who are looking for options. It should never be one size fits all. Choices is the key. I love this and 100% support it. Good luck to your goat Dre and I hope to see her playing.

I'd be interested to understand how you think the level of play is in comparison to top Spanish clubs and top SoCal Clubs. In summer 2019, the LAG GDA U14 team took a trip to Spain to play in the 1st Angeles Football Cup and won the event. They were undefeated vs. Atletico Madrid, Zaragoza, Osasuna, Valencia and Olympico Lyonnaise (2-0 in the final).

They were undefeated vs. Atletico Madrid, Zaragoza, Osasuna, Valencia and Olympico Lyonnaise (2-0 in the final).

If we are talking specifically about Club Tijuana, I think the level of play will be superior. Xolo’s motto is “a team w/o borders” so any level of play possible in Socal is possible at Xolo’s. For example, Xolo’s, ECNL, and GA will be competing for the same top players and Xolo’s have the advantage because they’re a pro team. I think several girls are going to be interested in playing in a U17 Liga MX “minor league/junior varsity type program”. Training and facilities are excellent. I recall folks having similar reservations about the level of play when OM moved from Socal to Portland. But, I think it’s a different ball of wax when these young players are training with the first team and it’s hard to compare and contrast to a pay to play system that has to win for marketing purposes.

I noticed one of the clubs defeated by LAG was OL. OL is considered one of the best and highest paying women’s team in the world. Maybe LAG beat OL & Athletico because they were better. Maybe LAG won because their focus was on winning instead of development.

I think US teams have traditionally been more physical than Mexican and Spanish teams. I can assure you going forward fitness will not be an issue for the Mexican teams. So if Tigres beat Houston Dash and Houston Dash won the NWSL challenge cup, I think the level of play is good and will only improve with foreign players and investment into the league.

I know this is in Spanish but the staff in the video are essentially the new women’s team staff. I like the part where Franky Oviedo says school is first and if you don’t do well then you cannot participate.

Even if you can’t understand, you can see the facilities.

Do they mandate a certain GPA to honor school first? What does doing well mean truly?

 

[Scott m Shurson]

I never said I didn’t want my kid to play college. My kid wouldn’t have been identified if we had not shown interest in college. I am saying after doing extensive research, it appears that the college environment is abusive and not beneficial to development more often than not.

So, again it’s my position that development in college is a fallacy with a few possible exceptions. If folks want their kids developed, it would behoove them to stop drinking the Kool-Aide and look elsewhere for that development. Again, you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.

At what age was your daughter "identified"?

 

[MacDre]

Do they mandate a certain GPA to honor school first? What does doing well mean truly?

No. It means they understand the reality that most kids won’t make the first team and need an education to fall back on. In Mexico many kids from lower social classes stop going to school young and Xolo’s don’t allow that in their program.
