ECNL vs. DA turf war has created a 'toxic environment'

VegasParent said:
Actually several 07 and 08 players moved over to Albion from Heat if those are considered "baby goats". One 06 player came over and is probably the only 06 Heat player that would make the 06 Albion team. It's debatable which 04 and 03 team is the best between Heat and LVSA.

07' and 08' is the prime age to get the baby goats over to the land of milk and honey at the New Albion Vegas DA. Any full rides that you know of @VegasParent to the baby goats to move over? Or is it more about the 25% guarantee starts? Maybe CM promised to the top recruit and that's enough to get them to move over? Or maybe GK lost out to the stud SC recruit at heat and went over to Albion? What TC do all the baby goats go to now in Vegas? Do they a have Vegas only TC? Curious minds want to know like mine. Thx

No full rides. People came over because they want to. By the way, try decaf.

@shales1002 I think It's safe to say were both diehard UCLA fans, right? I know it's hard right now. I can't even wear my UCLA hat around town these days. I'm so pissed. Anyway, Emma put these scores out and it got me thinking how the soccer team is doing in Westwood. I'm afraid to ask this question in the college section so I was hoping you get help. I have two. How did we lose 2-0 to Santa Clara with 30 YNT out of 37 on the team? How many YNT players does Santa Clara have?

MARs gets all pissed off with these stacked U9 teams in SoCal and I'm thinking to myself how fair is it that UCLA has 30 out of 37 YNT player GOATs? MARs & PaPa, just wait til college rolls around. You should thank the GOATs FC for bringing a little reality to your world. Get over it guys. But you know what I'm finding out, some girls get pissed off and take it out on UCLA and sometimes catch them off guard. 15 of them will never graze the actual grass according to MAP. No, they graze the sidelines instead to root on their fellow goats to victory. They only make the other goats better at practices. Well, that didn't help this time.

So they go for what then besides wanting to? That makes no sense to me? Environment? Better coaching? Philosophy? 25% start? I missed Roll Call the last three years. Where is your goat playing Vegasparent?

Or, couldn't make the 04 Heat team and jumped ship for position? Come on, get real with us. I'm dying to know

@VegasParent it not debatable with regards to the 04s. Each time either team 04 or 03 signs up to compete, in a tournament that LVSA hosts, both teams miraculously are moved out of the flight. Then the excuses come. For the record, I never said that there wasn't any movement to Albion. There just wasn't enough to make them competitive. I personally thought more of the LVSA players should have gone. Albion just picked up LVSA's 04 best forward. Unfortunately, they could never get her the ball last weekend. The 07's are better at Heat. Albion's 08s are pretty solid. They have a great coach DC.

I believe the full rides were for those players that would be impactful, and they didn't move. I wish Albion success. I truly do. A lot of the players wanted the chance to be on a top team. Albion offered that to them. Heat and LVSA are still the top teams.

I have to go to my office job now and stare out the window for 8 hrs and then drive on the 405 for two more hours to get home. Can you give me a little more than, "because they want to? TC too, where do all the GOATs meet? Thx

10 and 11 year olds are not in college. I guess that was the whole point. Give some other kids a chance. I'm over it now.

As for the subject here, I don't think my DD will do either. She wants to play for her High School, so no DA. These kids out here take pride in High School. On the bright side, at least they get a banner to hang in the gym if they win states, lol.

We would have to drive an hour just to play ECNL.

Our new coach just had 10 out of however many get D1 scholarships from his Non-DA/ECNL team that graduated last year. Guess that's a good thing if DD sticks with soccer. Just do ODP, High School and Showcase.

DD is bugging me a lot about playing golf lately though. Can't help but admit I am a little hopeful she likes it more than soccer. I benefit by association.

The 07's that came over were part of the team that left Albion to go to Heat with their coach. They came back because they were no longer happy with that coach. The 08's came because they wanted a change. Same with the 06. In simple terms, because they wanted to. No 25% start with 07 or 08 teams. My player is on Albion 06.

Agree with regards to LVSA players coming over and I think that will slowly happen. Love DC and his family. Great people and he's a great coach. Yes Heats 07's are better now but I think that gap will close. That coach is very unstable. My reasoning that it's debatable with the 04's is because at Players in March they beat a team that you lost to. I know matchups can decide a game but that was my reasoning. Now that they lost their forward you are probable right that their is no debate.

Bro, you get it and I get you. I was into the rankings back in the day big time and I still am as you can see. I would get bitch slapped by Maps and the Bitch all the time. Tech is the coolest of them all. Inner competitiveness to the core but won't show it. Gr8t poker player he is and I love him. I was in Texas back in Summer of 2017 for my dd National Championship run. I was sitting at the bar with all the locals watching Foxsportsnet and soccer was on. They were really good too. Boys, packed house and lot's of Latinos on the team if you know what I mean. Anyway, I'm stupid when it comes to anything past Youth Soccer. I'm like, what pro teams are playing. I got bitch slapped big time: "It's HS Soccer playoffs dumb ass." I was shocked. We only have Mater Dei on TV in OC for HS Sports. I thought it was super cool and I wanted to bring that model to OC......….No way Jose :) Go for everything you just said Mars. My only debate with you is when you come out to play in SoCal, don't worry about what 11 your playing. I've learned one thing in all this: All the players in SoCal are good :)

So how long has Albion Vegas been around? I thought they were a new team. Sorry for thinking that.

So some top GOATs in SoCal are really good and get recruited to play at other clubs but the other GOATs CM might be better or more loyal and maybe been on the team for 5 years. Loyalty should count for something. Well, the recruited baby goats parents want them to be promised CM, 100% starts and all minutes played (God forbid you want to take them out for a quick breather. Hell no, if you can see the parents look on their faces when coach is looking for sub to be put in before halftime. Shit, the parents can't handle it because your kids is 100% done for the day and so is mom & dads entertainment for the day. Smart clubs smell that a mile a way and say "no!! "you have to beat out the starter first and that only happens when you battle it out in practice and show up in the big games."
 
Is there anyone willing to share your dds or a friends DA Recruiting process for the baby goats in Vegas to help come over to the promise land? One Parent in Vegas is saying they all went because they want to. I'm looking for a little bit more. I bet maybe the smart GOAT dads in Vegas said no way? DA gots to find some top goats in Vegas and not the one's who just went because...…….I'm actually finding it hard to believe that all the good offers are only in SoCal and zero in Vegas of all places. Nothing wrong with getting some soccer paid for folks along the way.

My bad, I was confused with San Diego Albion and thought they opened a new location in Vegas. Sorry about that. So was this a pre-academy for the U-littles the last three years and you guys were waiting for the call? Just curious, which club in Vegas got the first call from the Feds? I would guess Albion because I can't imagine a club turning down what some on here would say an opportunity of a life time to start fresh and get real professional coaches in. Where do you guys go for the TC?

I was at that game. The team that lost on paper actually won in real-time. The refs literally kept taking goals away. It wasn't even close. Then it went to PK's and the assistance was saying some VERY disturbing things to the opposing team's players. As a result, you will notice they NEVER came back to Vegas. That's one hell of a team to not be here for Players'.

That's terrible. My kid has played in that tournament twice and both times we had ref problems. The first year one ref must have been brand new because he just had a plain yellow t-shirt and would raise his non-flag holding hand up to signal the direction on out of bounds. This year we only had two refs to start the semifinals. The third showed up almost at halftime. I'm sure it's hard to get enough refs having that many teams in a tournament.
