more then 1/2 of the girls on that list will quit soccer by 13
That’s been my experience over the years. Whether it be Volleyball, basketball or just quitting sports all together, there is a lot of life ahead f them. I can’t knock them cause I was one of the many who where them a number of years back. But know that I’ve been thru it all, I’ve seen and learned just as they will. I didn’t want to hear it from the “oldest” just as they don’t so what gives me the right.
Just know guys and gals, let’s talk when these “super stars” are playing with a size 5 ball with 22 kids on the pitch. It’s a humbling recollection.

The Hawks forward left the team
Just a thought, if they (clubs/coaches) aren’t looking for your goat, why leave your club/team? If your kid truly stands out, they’ll come up to the parent after a game or ask around and reach out to you. All these parents chasing these better teams is a joke. It’s parents egos, that ruin this game. Now maybe I just don’t understand because no one is chopping at the bits for my average dd. The SD surf has been after the players from SDSC for a couple of seasons now, and they finally recruited some standout goats.
I think SDSC‘s success is a combination of goats and SDSCs ability to develop players and teams. Before SD surf poached 5 players from SDSC 2nd team, the 2nd team would beat Surf in league. The SDSC Orange (2nd) team still did ok despite losing 5 players. They lost to Surf twice in league, 4-0 and 4-3, not terrible. We’ll see what 2020 brings, Coaching has a lot to do with how much success they’ll have.
we had these 2 sisters on our team and they got poached, they were back at our tryouts a couple of days ago. They are looking to jump ship again. Hoping to take the spots of the SDSC Navy players that left. The problem is they are very average at best. Their parents can’t accept that.

Best post in this thread for quite some time.
Heres a better question. Out of all these top teams who's the best coach(s) for actually developing soccer players?
Development is the only thing parents should interested in not ranking these young girls.
Does Olé win here again @Luis Andres with coaching?

Slammers Newport- #13, and those 2 towering girls
I’ve witnessed Luis’ antics on the field prior to his ban. I’ve seen him throw chairs and chew out the coach in front of parents and kids on the field. I can’t respect his coach for continuing to put up with that kind of behavior. That shows the coach choosing to keep a good player around to help with wins over developing other players and fostering a healthy team environment.
Sometimes it is the mismatch between parent goggles and reality. (My own daughter is clearly the best CM this year, but others may not see the wisdom on that statement.)
Sometimes a recruiting coach lies to parents about what to expect. Parents of an average kid are probably looking for some playing time, and coaches arent always honest about that- even to themselves.
Best bet is to watch a game or two. How long is the bench, and do they see decent field time?
Surf is always after the top 10 and 11 year old goats. It's how they truly develop their players. My dd had a dream at 11 years old. Surf Doc & Coach had the ingredients (connections) to make that dream a reality. Plus, it's all free. Imagine if you can, a dad working his ass off just to pay the bills every month and having to pay $4K-$5K a year for two years for youth soccer was all of a sudden, with a snap of a finger, its FREE!!!! All because your goat is good playa and they want to be #1 in the country with most of everything. They have the access to the dream too? Hard to turn down when you haven't lived it. Let me be clear. We lived in Temecula. If I could do it all over again, I would have went to the Temecula Hawks and help them build a local winner. The problem was that Arsenal and Legends came in and went on a recruiting mission in 2011. My advice to all the local dads with little goats: "Stay local and play local." When goat is 14, then maybe she needs to go somewhere where all the other top goats play. I'm also sorry to have played a roll in all the disruptions and divisiveness. I can say 100% that was not my intent. I honestly was trying to help my dd achieve a dream that all these Docs said she had a chance at except for Tad Bobak. The only one who tells it like it is. Good coach he is, let me tell you
LMAO. Luis wants to be Lavar Ball.
Lavar took AAU on and kicked ass locally. I see Coach Luis taking on club soccer.

He's on the level ofJamie Newman from Hello Newmans. Google him. Watch a 5 min video clip. Laugh and think @Luis Andres.

He also tried to take on the basketball sneaker giants and failed miserably with his own brand/business. That includes BBB and Lonzo up to this point. That being said I’m all for someone taking on club soccer and hoping to make a positive change

BTW, what happened with Luis's retirement? He pops in and out of retirement like Mayweather...

Several years ago I went to battle with SD Surf but didn’t have deep enough pockets and DD was slightly above average at that time so she was expendable.
Why does everyone talk about how we as dads=who our daughters are. If Luis throws one more chair, band him for one year. Another chair, band for life. The kid is innocent just like my sweet little girl. Everyone who has been on the same teams as my dd loves her and me. All others not so much. I went after Doc a few years ago and he told me he would look into my serious questions and concerns I had with the coach and behaviors of other coaches and Doc. My kid is just ok player and in this non competitive pay per play Elite soccer league I was toast and labeled a club hopper and told all college coaches that Doc knew would know how crazy I am and no college coach wants to deal with a crazy PaPa Bear so shut your mouth. Just like Fact said, be careful who you let your kid train with for soccer.
