How’s the 2023-24 season going?

[Shooting Star]

Just like how if the 2010 blues team would have stuck together and not been split between the slammers and blues current 2010 teams I’m pretty sure that blues team would still be dominating the surf team today like they did the sdsc team back in the day.

Big shake up going down fellas and someone is about to take over #1. I got PM breaking news, but I never share PM unless given permission. If the father allows me to share this grape vine rumor mill breaking news, then I will. Stay tune for big news for a new #1 in the 2010s for 24/25 season. Surf and Slammers will have their work cut out. This coming season is all about time to position your dd for best opportunities. Time to prep for YNT, College or the Pros. Good luck you guys

Amazing. Haven’t gotten the call up yet - just looking for the right coach … anyone?

 

[crush]

I'm hearing it has to do with the coach and the players burned out. Starters are starting to look elsewhere. They may have to bring up their RL players to NL now.

I heard some big moves about to take place and possible coup for one club. I don't want to let cat out of the bag, but it might be the biggest haul of talent since 5 top Blues players went to Surf to go win the Natty in 2017. It happens right around this time. I had not heard from this dad in a long time and then he drops a big MOABs. My source said the deals are all but done but need the signatures (verbal don't mean squat in club) and all of us in sales were taught naught to count chickens before their hatched. 2010s will have a very competitive year for 24/25.

A coup! exciting! planned by students ? parents? professional organizers ? Creating the next blueprint for how to get things done in soccer! That’s a true “game of throw ins!!”

Crush, you are trying to get me in trouble! I can offer up a few items. First red card was on koge, called for a “last man” foul just outside the box, then a similar call on Surf just outside their box. Neither resulted in a goal. Surf could have scored perhaps 3-4 goals in the first 15 minutes but due to an offside goal called back, numerous shots over the goal from relative short range, etc. Koge’s goals were quality efforts, first being a 1v1 with their forward (who is big and strong) getting through Surfs center back and I can’t remember the exact circumstance of the second goal. The impressive thing about Koge is they are a hospital/patched up team with many players playing hobbled or not playing at all while Surf was at full strength. A great win for Koge. All the national camp players were there.

The second one came off of a free kick from their center mid to one of their defenders for the go ahead winning goal.. great game.

Contract talks are stalled at this point from my source. One club might get 8 players and one might be left with no roster. Transfer Portal is now open. Big negotiations going on. Carpooling is in play and all those toll charges. If carpooling is covered by a certain club, you might see a mass exodus. Someone once asked me, "was it worth the drive from Temecula to OC two days a week to play for the mighty Blues and great TB." I said, "yes." Two years my dd was coached by an honest and trustworthy coach and I appreciate that 100%. I was told to always play for the best coach, not the team. Best coach usually has the best team.

Take it with the grain of salt.

Blues is toast.
Legends is looking break roster size records and create a royal rumble atmosphere amongst players (they'll be able to scrimmage themselves 11v11 and still have bench pieces available to both sides).
Beach small roster tweaks.
Slammers small roster tweaks.
Koge, waiting on a couple of trophy pieces.
Surf, no clue.
Sporting in the toilet.
Pats signing several new faces.
Breakers, no clue.
LAFC, roster tweaks and waiting on a couple pieces.
Eagles, on an island to themselves. No clue.
All others, no clue.

We must have the same news source. Insane what's about to drop. Good luck to all the rest. I think Surf & Hog will be battling for 2nd place.

Legends and Koge will have big rosters - but isn’t it the norm that these teams start to collect players now due to injuries? They will want to have a backups esp 10s, CBs & FWDs players. If the backups are very good even better when one gets injured!

What team at Blues is toast? Are coaching assignments out yet?

Pats with new faces could be a game changer for them / the 10s looked strong for a bit.

Beach plays beautiful soccer like mvla.

AZ and Royals for 09s at least are impressing and mixing it up . Surf and koge and Blues 10s same 3 as it ever was.

Movement is good - new faces better.

You're trying to convince us that Legends having a Record Roster Size is going to be good? Which kids on that team are you willing to bench for 60 minutes? How many injuries do you see that team having?

Koge - has a very good reputation of not having a very large roster because they care about their players

 

[RedDevil24]

Hearing some interesting rumors at the Blues as well, if that’s who @crush was referring to. Trying to confirm myself

11 v 11 all-star practices with top players on the bench looking for minutes is a competitor's dream. If you ride the pine, grind and bare it and look to find a team for next season or maybe a mid-season transfer. This is how cream rises to the top, moo

that's the dream in youth soccer for coaches! not players or parents. @crush ... I don't want to hear about your kid's play time in AZ anymore if you're encouraging this.

Parents...don't do this to your kids or other kids. This is not college or pros.

You don't think top players like training against each other? Ask them. They love it.

That said, I agree that we parents need to keep out of it. We bring our egos, and they get in the way.

Record size roster is what size?
Would you think a 24-25 size at the older HS level is too much?

Current state of affairs - there's lots of injured girls today in the 10s and up age group.

Sitting for 60 minutes is a way for the club to say - I’m being nice not to cut you …

But does any kid expect 100 play time at older ages - honest question. Does it happen?

From what I’ve seen this year it’s the parents telling the kids what to feel and what to think …
Weird

Legends is starting to have a reputation of adding tons of players to their roster and spreading them all over the place. Be careful. The additions normally do not help the team because they are redundant additions. They hurt the team in the long run.

absolutely....against 18 players. not 22-24 on a team that is only allowed to roster 18. There is a limit to everything.
