Hey Brains, what class year do you think a HS player signs their official national letter of intent? Have you been keeping up with the thread. I posted a few pages back she is graduating in May. Sheesh!

So your daughter had to go to all 4 years of HS? Mine will finish in 3, that is where the confusion is, my bad.
 
Insane65, aren't you a newbie poster? I read a few of your posts. Don't worry about 03/04 Girls DA clubs making offers. If your DD is a stud....a Girls DA club will find a roster spot for her.

Is there a height requirement for college soccer?

Nope, but your DDs DOC told me years go that college coaches prefer recruiting Big, Fast, Strong players. I don't know if he has spoken to UCLA college coaches, but their roster has several smaller athletic technical players.

NoGoal - don't paint with such a broad stroke. Plenty of Surf ECNL players on Torrey Pines JV squad (last year). Now on Varsity as sophomores but still some damn fine sophomores and juniors still on JV from other top club teams in the area.

I'm not sure how strong the Surf ECNL team is for your DDs age group. Just because a player is ECNL doesn't mean they are great players. Are the girls who are on the JV team ECNL subs? Are varsity soccer players at Torrey Pines HS all older Surf ECNL players?

What are you doing up so late, you sleeping on the couch? Don't you have to go to the welfare office early this morning or are you going to the women's march?

You had a good one prior, now you're back to your weak material. I see you haven't kicked the habit of needing to read the forum when you wake up at 4:52 am. Loser!

The Surf ECNL team that won nationals two years ago (I think) was U15 last year and now the 00 team. A bunch of starters that are already being recruited by DI schools played JV as freshmen. Only 2 of them were on varsity and one was a bench player for the Surf team. My point is - I disagree with your assessment. Being a great club player doesn't always translate to making varsity in high school. Especially when your school is loaded with talent like TPHS (oh and the coach puts all of his sub par club players on varsity and JV whether they deserve a spot or not). I know that sounds like sour grapes but take it for what it is.

Are you posting about Catarina Macario and Julie Doyle's G99 Surf ECNL team? I think the G00 Surf team is weaker than the G99 team, but haven't been following ECNL standings for the past year. None the less, you may disagree, but looks like your HS coach is the problem after reading the end of your post. Seems like he favors seniority over talent. So, I stand by my post.

You sound like your in a bad mood, you should really have invested in a better couch. Crate and Barrel is what I would recommend, that garage sale furniture you have just don't cut it.

I'm not in a bad mood. Crate and Barrel couch (trying to hard), sorry but I actually have Thomasville furniture. #nicetry

The other time I've seen amazingly talented players not make varsity as Freshmen is when the coach is an idiot and plays "direct" (kickball) and doesn't want any smaller, skilled players on the field. These kids get slotted on JV because they aren't fast and big enough to play crapball. You think I lie, but I know a HS coach who was new and asked his players, "do we play with a size 4 or size 5 ball?" As you might guess, he also wasn't that good at assessing talent.

There is no Surf G99 ECNL team. The 99 team and 98 team are combined. CM was never on the 99 team, she always played up on the 98 team except for her first games in the US, when she guested with the 99 B team for Legends Cup. The team that would have become the 99 ECNL team after the age year changeover went through many coaching changes/issues over the years (anyone remember HH?), lost many players to Albion and was not the dominant team in their age group in San Diego county over the years. The 98 team was always very strong, partly as a result of having the best 99 players.

My bad outside, that's what I meant G98/99 Surf ECNL team. Thanks for the clarification!

Ok...how about this. From SC del Sol in AZ. They just came out with an announcement for tryouts. On the FAQ page you find this.

So they are talking about having what appears to be a 2nd team (Academy II) and there will be league play for them as well?

Interesting? First I heard anything about this.

Q. How will you address the combined age groups?
A. With two of the Development Academy age groups being combined, these Academy teams will be made up of a combination of elite players from the two age groups, we will also have Academy II teams - these teams will be made up of younger players who are preparing for the next season's Academy team and older players who we feel may have the ability to make the current Academy team. If not rostered full time, Academy II players may also be called up to play a limited number of games as “Developmental Players” with the current Academy team. League play structure for Academy II teams is still TBD - we are working with all our fellow Academy Clubs in the Division.

Here is something to ponder/discuss (although I am sure some well known trolls will troll away to defend their Surf Turf) - what happens to Surf Cup and Surf College Cup next year - there is more to what happened in Silverlakes last year than meets the eye.
