GIRLS DAII

Goal Nation is the rag that is up Surf, Albion, and Presidio's ass! The press release was a disservice to families to promote a division that was simply an idea not even close to reality .

If you really want to vomit follow Goal Nation on instagram
She really just needs to make it her sons soccer account and spare us all
 
Here everyone! It's a great suggestion. Now since Strikers, Pats, Blues et all are all sharing space at OC Great Park let's all make a massive club.
Bonus points it won't be hard to find a new team for next year just go on a casual stroll around the orange...

Rancho Capistrano Fields
April 24, 2017


SC Blues Families,

As you know the Fall 2016 soccer season was our last year of games being played on the weekends at Rancho Capistrano. Saddleback Church generously allowed the two clubs, SC Blues and UFC, to continue practicing and training there during the week since
January 1. They did this at no cost to the clubs whatsoever and
we deeply appreciate their support.

The fields will be closed to all soccer activities, effective May 1, 2017. The traffic accident that occurred last August, 2016 that reduced our ability to play weekend games has ultimately
led to this decision.

Both soccer clubs have independently been seeking other field venues for training and games. With the growth of soccer and competitiveness for fields being particularly challenging we have been working hard on long-term solutions for field space.

We are happy to report that we have been approved to use fields at the OC Great Park in Irvine. We will provide details on the Great Park availability as we receive it. Additionally, we can access fields at Vanguard University. We are also expecting to be able to use two other complexes nearby but we are waiting on final approval from those venues before announcing those locations.

As we receive official permits for fields we will be sharing that information with our families and coaching staff for the period beginning May 1, 2017.

Doesn't WC also train there or are they just using the fields for try-outs?
 
Yes, WCFC is already at the OC Great Park. They had some of their ECNL teams (and non-ECNL teams) training there the same day my dd trained with Strikers last season. Multiple WCFC girls teams were training when I was at the OCGP this past Thursday.

LA Galaxy uses OCGP along with Slammers. I don't think I have seen any Slammers ECNL teams at OCGP, but they might be there on the days my dd doesn't train.

The best news about this announcement from Blues is that the HC's and DOC's from Slammers, WCFC, Strikers, Pats, Blues, LAGOC and probably others now can recruit from their home training field. No more hiding out in the parking lot of other clubs practice facilities.
 
This will all last a year or two then people will get the picture it is all a money scam and it will be
So...let us see if I have this right.

- They are creating a league where these 10 teams compete against the others.
- These teams will also continue to play in the CA leagues..in AZ we call it the State League or APL.
- Toss in a showcase or 2
- In theory some girls will be "developmental" players and maybe get called up.

Am I missing anything?

Same coaches - same players - same clubs but with one extra day per week of training and a lot more rules, time and cost for the little kids! All gift wrapped in a super cool fancy new name! Sounds good to me? Where do we send the checks!

No checks. It's been already directly taken out of your account. You'll find out soon!

How many parents will now be eying all the other training sessions from clubs at same field comparing to our current daughters teams. This could be fun! :)
 
So have any DA2/Reserve/Academy2 teams, what ever you want to call them, been given a schedule of what tournaments you will be entering from now to the summer?
 
DA1 starts in August from my understanding. No one know details on DA2, but Manchester CUP, Surf Cup, offering below: And that starts end of May.

Age Groups based off the birth year for the 2017/2018 season:
USSDA Tournament Dates: 7/28/2017 - 7/31/2017 (day off 7/30)
BU-18/19 USSDA 1999/2000
BU-16/17 USSDA 2001/2002
BU-15 USSDA 2003
BU-14 USSDA 2004
GU-18/19 USSDA 1999/2000
GU-16/17 USSDA 2001/2002
GU-15 USSDA 2003
GU-14 USSDA 2004

So who's heard of anyone planning to attend?

So with the age groups- like the old age system, will the GU- being moving up every year? For example the 2002/2001, will, come 2018-2019, they'll be GU-17/18? Or do the 01's move up to play GU-18/19 with the 00's?

From what I have heard, next year DA may go age pure for 00- 01-02-03-04. Stop confusing things with the U-anything. Just refer to birth year.

I think that it is a new team every year with half the previous team moving up. Creating a bottleneck at U16. Half of the U15's will graduate to being cut and half will graduate to U16/17. Maybe less than half depending upon how good the previous years U16's were.

Is dual age banding good for their development when players don't peak until their 20s? It seems that the niche that is filled by dual age banding was served by high school (playing against older players).
