Looks like MW's 2009 Sharks team that came over from Albion has won 1 and lost 2 in ECNL play so far. Goes to show how challenging this league and the Southwest Division really is.
Of course it's challenging. That's the whole point. But you have to ask yourself .. what would those score lines have been with the original Sharks 09s? We'll never know, but a 0-1 loss to Beach might have been 0-3 or 4? That team also has some 2010s playing there, which will likely change next year as the 2010 ECNL team fills out. All of Albion's 2010s who moved over are playing up for now. As I've said before, improvements aren't going to happen overnight, but I'd bet there will be, particularly as the younger ages age up and through and teams continue to add new players.
I think that’s more clubs than potentially available roster spots!

Quality vs. Quantity
A lot of disgruntled ‘Quality’ out there worthy of roster spots? If so, that sounds more like a wholesale substitution.
What is happening with Force?

Heard from a friend in that area...they probably won't make it beyond this season...combination of pandemic and nothing to offer beyond DPL.
Heard it from friend as well bro. This is cut throat. I also heard from a pal that MW is the real deal and will be a great option for the locals who still want to do other things besides soccer 24/7, 365 days out of the year. Plus, I'm sure MW will allow for HSS? Deza is something different and rightfully so. Like the great Maps once said, their are probably only 3, 5 star players per age group in Socal. The rest are 4 star players and then all the rest are 3 star. 5 and 4 star should go to Deza to learn two touch and look to represent the USA some day. Most of the 4's and 3's can play HSS and other sports and look to sneak up on the 5s some day later maybe. Some 4's can become 5's if they want to work super duper hard and give up there're hole life but dont and some 3's could become 4's, but not 5s.
Tough position geographically; literally practice on the same fields as SDSC. Rebels picked up ECNL. Surf and DMCV are a short drive.
My DD played there for 1 year. When she left another 7 players also left. The following year they lost another 7. Losing 15 players off of any team is going to leave a mark.
That was the past. New Sherriff in town to help clean the mess up in youth soccer. I just got off the phone with a contact who lives in Encinitas. MW is here to stay and a really good man + good coach= good times for the kids & parents. Bad man + bad coach= bad times for kids & parents.
SDSSC sounds good to me

Yeah, that's what I've heard... Too many clubs on top of each other dilutes the talent pool. MW will definitely shake up that area...potentially a good thing for all, will have to see what comes of it.
It was SDSC when my kid was at Force. I don't care what you (or anyone) calls them. Not trying to be snarky, just truly don't care.
Well, their official club name is now SDSC Surf, so yeah I still call them SDSC. I probably always will.
I'm hoping for an announcement.
Currently the DMCV Sharks website lists Shannon as "Executive Director & Coach" it would be a huge conflict of interest to try and be Loyal's Vice President of Community Relations and Sharks Executive Director & Coach at the same time.
If running both jobs is Shannons plan it's the Boards responsibility to replace her with someone that can focus all their attention on Sharks only.

lol I am the same when it comes to Carlsbad as I can't / won't keep up with that many changes
DMCV executive director would be the most applied for job in Youth Soccer if the salary stays the same.
