Soccercity is being overwhelmed by SDSU West among the people that matter - the voters of San Diego.
To me it's very logical. Why would they pander to a league that said no to them? They have the power and teams. They have the business sense and money to do it.
I actually hope they do it.

A spring league? Will it just be between the club and it’s affiliates? This sounds kind of silly.
Makes sense to me. Why would anyone want to go up to SCDSL for all the spring games when you can do them here?
My only issue is how would Michelle Romero fit into this? I thought she was employed by Surf Cup Sports. @TCD how sweet would it be if we had a new league without her?
Get Sharks, SDSC, Force, Mustangs on board and you have a real option plus a way to start identifying local talent you want to channel into the main club. Sorry but I think that Surf would be a much better option for people. Presidio is outdated in vision and mission. It's time they got challenged

Come on. That’s kinda what fall league is already turning in to. Throw in a few slammers teams and some version of Galaxy.
I disagree. You get buy in from north of the 52 and hopefully SDSC and you have a better product than Presidio.
Put Surfs money and connections with strategic vision in place and it is a better product in the end with a tie in to an MLS pathway.
The other model that will challenge the status quo is the Bayern GPS one. With their leadership and again a pathway to regional, national and international play I think things could get interesting.
Surf does things in line with US Soccer. They are the only club with ECNL and Da. It would make sense for them to control the competition and leagues. We have far too many randoms with poor leadership taking money from families. Not everyone is savvy. Surf is a proven product with a proven pathway. It's time for low level clubs to stop pilfering off of people.

Pilfering. Got to love Surf people.

These moves effectively turn presidio into a rec league. Fact, when will this announcement be made?
Bayern GPS is turning some heads and I look forward to seeing what they can build here. Taila is a good coach who has had a lot of success with his 04 team and is probably the best non-DA option in San Diego.
The surf league would hopefully shorten driving time to games if they keep this within a small geographical region. But with the current internal struggle and infighting at surf, it seems like maybe they need to clean house first.
The world is ending. No I have actually been accused of being anti surf for as long as I can mention. I appreciate the nod.
What I am is a businessperson and I can see very clearly the plan and see nothing wrong with a club who has the vision and funds to execute this. Surf Cup sports does everything with class- everything is top notch.
So I want to ask you this in all honesty. Isn't Presidio a rec league? In all honesty doesn't it represent low level soccer. Why don't we call it what it is?
I am being sincere in this question.
Wouldn't San Diego be better served to have let's say 3-4 proven pathways to an end dream of MLS/D1 soccer? Why is that such a bad thing?

Sharks tryouts are in process. When would this be announced?
Presidio is whatever the clubs decide it is. In years past, the clubs decided how to do promotion/relegation, to add Premier level, and then to form SDDA. If those and/or other clubs decide they want to form a "new league", Presidio is the vessel to pour it into.
Is that so? Things must have changed since I attended Presidio meetings. Generally, if an established club was reasonably current financially with the league, and the club's adults had not caused any problems, they just rolled over from one year to the next. The only votes about clubs I remember were for admission of new clubs.
Hilarious.
Maybe so. I tried to look up the latest version of the Presidio bylaws on the website -- "Bylaws are in the process of being reviewed and updated." I think that process has been at least a year now.
