Discovery League- "We've created a monster!!!"

timbuck said:
Is Las Vegas Surf 2007 really going to come to So Cal every weekend for Discovery League games?

Anyone know the guy/girl that sold this to them? I've got an open spot on my sales team and I'm sure they would do really well.

Also - In the 07 age group you have 23 teams. 15 in the north division. 8 in the south division.
Looks like "south" teams play in Oceanside or Del Mar and North teams play mostly at Silverlakes.
The San Diego teams (Cardiff, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rebels) will have nice easy drives.

Brah, no offer to Crush for sales team opportunity? I'm so desperate I'll look at any sales gig. I want to stay in California so let me know if you have spot for me. Thanks man :)
 
Anyone have thoughts on DPL for 09's? Along the lines of the discussion above, I noticed at least DPL has 1/2 home games, and most of the teams seem pretty strong from what little info I can find on some of the teams.
 
The new Socal League already exceed my expectation. When you go to their website, there is actually a chat function with real people answering live. I had a question about the number of games in the fall league for the youngers, and a nice lady named Haley promptly answered all of my questions in real time.

It was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Well at least "riverside" county doesn't yet have 48hr COVID-19 testing requirements for youth sports... soccer players.

Spoke regular English? If so that's impressive.
 
I don't understand the leagues and where the teams are........if not playing discovery where are they playing? I know all on this board are saying that all teams are in discovery but I am not seeing it.

Click on "Club Directory", that displays all clubs, then select your club, then select the team on the club specific page.

Only discovery schedules are available which is why you only see them on the page you are on.
 
So how was the first weekend of competition?

Players excited to have a fall season with a regular set of consecutive weekend game?

Brutally hot. Fields however were in perfect shape.

True Dat....
Lucky, we had the 4pm game. Got there at 3pm and it was 99 degrees out but it cool down a little for the game and had a little breeze. Fields were in good shape. We were in the back on the grass fields. Just sucks sitting on the eastside of the field while the sun was setting in the west. The girls were happy to be back in league play. Started off on the right foot with a 6-0 win.
 
The drive to Oceanside and Del Mar every weekend is going to suck!!
Took 1.5 hours to get to SoCal Sports complex (from South OC) for a Saturday afternoon game. Then about 45 minutes to get home.
I hate spending more time in the car than the length of the actual game.

Fields were good. Competition was good. Referees were solid. But I might trade one of these for being able to play at a local middle school for half of our games.

The drive anywhere in southern california on the weekend sucks. Try getting to Santa Monica or LA for a game. Even if you live in LA it takes over an hour. There is no place easy to get to in southern california on the weekends.

Well at least you didn't play in the 100 degree heat of Norco.

Time spent: 1.5 drive out + 1.5 game time + 45 warm up + 45 return drive is almost 5 hours just for a single game not to mention the transportation and parking expensives.

Do that 14x times x 16-18 players and it gets expensive and it's cheaper overall to play @ home.

We have really good fields @ 5 high schools + 3 college fields plus dignity sports parks and others like the Toyota fields all within a 15-20 min drive or bike from our place. Driving out 100 miles from LA County to any of those complexes and it would suck if the games where not great and the competition really worth it.

And then for competition after our 1.5 hour drive we get 3 boys SD Surf teams (07, 08, 09) that lost by a combined 24-0... Surf is just a ponzi marketing scheme designed to get the paying recruits..these teams have no right to play at this level.

You are really hosed if you have multiple kids playing on the same day. And if they are both in "Discovery" but one has their games in Norco and the other in Oceanside every week.

As you get older you realize how dumb it is to spend 4 hours on traffic for some youth sport game on a weekend. I could have played a great round of good in that time. These parents that don’t have their kids in sports are smarter than we think.

Discovery is a joke on the boys side. Most games this weekend were blowouts. Only one game at 08 had less than a 3 goal differential including a 9-0 . My buddy's kid plays in that league and they're livid about the lack of decent teams.
