Club mergers...

[MWN]

I think I'd like to develop a soccer backpack with a giant velcro patch on the back, so every time my kid's club changes it's affiliation I can just peel the label off the backpack and put another one on there........

... and maybe some sort of high tech color shifting technology to take the blue backpack to a red one. Since we are high jacking this thread and having some fun ... how about a device in the backpack that sends an alert to the player/parents when (1) that half eaten bar and/or banana peel is starting to grow legs; (2) the number of partially consumed water bottles has exceeded 4; the home and away kit are missing (including the mysterious ... "how the hell did you manage to only put 1 sock in the bag?" phenomena)

And some sort of warning device when the backpack gets a certain distance away from shin guards, cleats and a ball!!

The sock comment is spot on. We buy probably 3 pair a season. She can't blame it all on the dog.

Are we that far away from clubs offering free backpacks to their players that have tracking devices so the current club can see where the players are trying out? It's that time of the year.

When I was a team manager, I learned to have a couple of pairs of socks, both colors, in the equipment bag. For sale, at "cost".

When my son was U10, he informed me as he was changing in the back seat almost at the end of a 20-mile ride that he had forgotten his cleats. I was too soft to say "play in what you brought", so we pulled into a convenient sporting goods store and got the cheapest pair that fit him. I kept them in my soccer game bag until all my kids' teammates were too big to fit them.

Does CDA stand for California Development Academy or something else?

Pretty sure it's either Cerritos Development Academy or Camargo Development Academy.

I believe it stands for California Developmental Academy, but Camargo Development Academy seems much more appropriate.

LAGOC begins Jan 1st, but Irvine Slammers will still exist. So maybe not all current Irvine teams will be making the move . . .

Last time I heard from a original Slammers parent was "Can't Develop Anything" hence the reason that the original Slammers wanted people to know how to distinguish them from CDA Slammers. My only reaction was "OUCH" is there some type friction there?
