Surf won’t be almighty until they’ve recruited over and over to bring in the goats. They have the dough to market themselves not to mention those fields that are so exclusive.

Not yet, I would want to try to make the Surf SD vs Blues or Finals game. If you have time check out the Taco Stand in La Jolla it’s right down the street from the middle school, Good luck to all your DD and enjoy La Jolla.

Happy Thanksgiving.
My girls been in her warm house all weekend eating pie and hanging out with her teammates who all had the weekend off. Thinking of getting in some black Friday shopping in a bit. You know, small club problems over here but at least my family can enjoy the holidays with out worrying about who has the best 9/10 year old teams in the nation and if games will be played in 3ft of mud and freezing temps.
Remember to be thankful this time of year for what really matters and take it easy on your DD. When 11v11 starts in a few more years not a single person will care about what happened when our kids were in diapers bringing home plastic trophy's from cash grabbing thanksgiving tournaments.

"Ole, strong like Bull"
You guys need to get ECNL. How come no ECNL?
It will be a battle between David and Goliath. If our side defenders make the proper positioning adjustments to throw the ball out the the sides instead creating corner kicks we should be fine and be able to compete. If my DD pushes the pace through the middle lane and goes straight at that big girl and uses her lateral quickness to get by to create passes and shots we should see better offense. If our strikers and my DD can better play off each other creating 2v1’s and 3v2’s they should see success. This is the classic big girls playing direct ball vs smaller average girls attempting to play possession soccer. I see it like a Chile vs England game. It’s possible as Chile has shown that they can beat Top European teams with strong, fast & tall athletic players by moving the ball and playing tiki-taka

Because those around SDSC have gone out of their way to make sure it doesn't happen. Threats, etc because they know that is the one thing they have. For now....
Or maybe they don’t value the girls the way they do boys? Why else is their a DA for boys and. Or girls?
So other clubs are looking for nonathletic, slow players?
I think SoCal United has a better idea. Not to call him out...is with SDSC
Very Nice @Chalklines Very true as well. None of these games will matter later but the experience is what’s important for the little ones. And for me watching these games is great entertainment. I’ve always noticed that after these types of tournaments they grow as players and as a team. Having the chance to play the Blues is all worth it. Like I’ve mentioned our girls had not experienced that type of caliber defense before and it will force them to adapt and grow. I was really looking forward to that SDSC vs Ole game as I believe it would have been a great matchup in possession style soccer. Both teams average sized with fast athletes as well. But hopefully they stay together for next season and see if it can possibly happen at Sate Cup.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I vote for SDSC. Rebels, Sharks and SDSC. When my dd was u10 and u11 SDSC had a very strong team. They almost upset my dd blues kickball team back 2016 at State Cup. It's not really kickball is it @Luis Andres? I think it's what most folks in the soccer world would call, Direct and Physical Ganas style compared to the Ganas style of possession and play from the back. I prefer passing the ball around like the movie "Hoosiers."
I’ll post highlights tomorrow afternoon. Don’t want to give away any possession soccer plays we do with a possible Ole vs Blues finals tomorrow
Kickball is an exaggeration. It’s a very physical game. They do make passes after the midway point of the field and they play it safe out the back by sending it through. However any direct ball opportunity that arises they will take it in a heartbeat to use their athletic and speed to score. Lots of quick runs and crosses to the penalty box in direct ball which we witnessed as well from Blues.
Put someone on Blues best player full time to keep her out of the game. She’s not fast.
