ECNL Phoenix Coaches list?

Shales- I don't know you/your player. I do know that If you/your dd are trippen on weather conditions, you're telling prospective coaches/schools, all they need to know.

Respectfully,

How is asking a legitimate question regarding a contingency plan "trippen telling college coaches anything?" I'm sure you all would rather be closer to home and possibly not playing in the rain. Hopefully, you won't be. But as of today, the likelihood is pretty strong. For the record, I'm a Californian and I love the weather.

1) Get out of the weeds, look above the forest.
2) Try reading your posts....and say it out loud (can u connect the dots?)

Your kids has played a half season in the now weak ECNL SW conference. That's it. Eight games? Never played ECNL in the glory days and never played GDA. You also pretend its an option to play in GDA, but you live in Vegas. Stop the BS. Be happy with ECNL and move on. And yes, you are acting like a clown when you make stupid statements (and often untrue statements). If you don't want to be called a clown, don't act like a clown.

Marky Mark might have be onto something o_O

So much for having an intellectual conversation. As previously stated, MarkM doesn't/didn't know anything about my player, but believe what you want because there is no need to prove otherwise. As long as she stays healthy, her dreams are within reach. @Zerodenero I can admit with confidence, I would prefer my DD NOT to play in the rain. Still trying to grasps how you turned a comment about weather into college coaches is reading subliminally into the post is beyond me. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

What does your DD prefer? There is nothing wrong with playing in the rain. Soccer is an all weather game, unlike some games. The only reason to suspend for weather is if the weather is dangerous to humans or the field conditions do not allow the game to be played. Last I checked, most humans are waterproof.

Totally agree with you regarding it being an all weather sport. Perhaps it my inner Californian that cares so much about the weather. You know how we drive when it sprinkles. My DD doesn't care one bit about the rain other than her it's difficult for her to see in sports glasses.

Honestly, No. The truth is I want everyone to have a successful showcase. After all that is what this is all about. I personally think the GDA should hold showcases where the weather is more predictable aka closer to home. I could then come and watch providing there are no conflicts with ECNL.

My daughter isn't bothered by weather, but I hear you, the boys national league tournament was in NC in November and couldn't play 2 out of 3 games because of weather.
Softballs biggest tournament used to be back east somewhere, hot and humid every year and a new league decided to hold their Nationals in socal, now it is the biggest and the best by far. Maybe soccer will follow, after all, everyone wants to come to socal.

@shales1002 's kid would start on any of the SoCal GDA teams in her age group and hopefully will be playing for my alma mater someday soon. You are barking up the wrong tree on this one bro..... I would stay in the appropriate weight class when picking fights.

Marky Mark missed the barn by a mile on this one. shale's player will hopefully be playing in Westwood someday so weather isn't much of an issue. My kid has had one game out of 47 in two years with bad weather and it was snow in West Virginia. Unless she decides to avoid the California PAC 12 schools I don't think that this will be much of an issue.

Perhaps ..(from purely soccer perspective) ...especially w/such a fine institution as Shales Avatar. But reading thru his/her post....brings flashbacks of our old friend Cali (but Shales player can actually ball)

I don't really know what you mean, but I would venture to say that any who cares about the weather at a showcase event that their kid isn't attending isn't above anyone's weight class.

UCLA is looking at West Coast's DA goalie at 04. Doubtful that UCLA is looking to add two goalies that year, but UCLA's ability to stash loads of talent away on its bench always surprises me.

I’m sure my alma mater is looking at more than one player in any given position.

This Cali native loves great weather and plenty of sunshine. Enjoy the rain. :D

Unless there is lightning, they will probably play soccer. The game was invented in England.

When my DD was playing in college back in South Carolina, she routinely played in the rain and on some very muddy fields. They also had several games stopped and restarted an hour later after the lightning or the tornado warning had passed. She would tell you the downside was having to have 5-6 pair of cleats for the different field conditions. She actually loved playing in the rain back there since it cooled everything off in those blazing hot and humid days of August through October.

Does she use any kind of coating like RainX on her glasses to help the water bead off? I have been tempted, but worry about how it might effect the anti-glare coating.

We’ve tried everything . The issue we experienced was the body steam fogged her glasses in the rain. Contacts will soon be in her future.

Ah yes....you "intellectually" see what I'm saying.

As for fun in the Westwood Sun, That ain't no joke...... from ucla's roster, My kiddo currently has 4 or 5 former ecnl teamates and another 3 coming in this season....shoot, My Kiddo's college coaching staff would LOVE to pick off a few of their bench players who are A) ok w/leaving home and B) ready to play come rain, sleek or snow.
