Is Surf Cup happening?

SoccerGuru said:
That is not completely true. There are players that do need to look in the mirror and keep going to different clubs that will allow them to be considered a flight one player or ecnl level player even though they may not be. So you aren't completely wrong but there are many players that want a different style of coaching or new challenging environment, etc. Yes 4-5 clubs is on the excessive side but it is also usually not good to play for the same coach for more than 2-3 years until you are in college.

Your club should be changing coaches every 2 years anyway. And I just said kids change clubs for more visibility or be challenged. Why would you fight to be a top flight, or ECNL player, if you aren't? Coaches aren't going to see you sitting on the bench.

Agree but some clubs don’t, mostly because a selfish or lazy coach. As far as far as a player fighting to be part of the top flight, that is usually the parents. They think their kids success is theirs, it’s sad but it happens.

Listen, your crush on Bobak is neither rational nor healthy. Everybody knows it's good to get different coaching every couple of years. I'll bet you think your daughter playing just the 9 was good for her development, too, don't you? It's pretty evident YOU are the reason your kid bounces around so much. Age change? Nobody bounced clubs because of the age change. Are you kidding me?

And answer my question, you donut. What did I say about blacks that is mean?

God's honest truth. I'm lobbying hard and so are many others for Labor Day Surf something. The good news is we have not been told no and it's still one. Think positive thoughts :) Me and Outlaw go way back and I'm sorry for taking his bait and letting my ego get the best of me. As long as we have no politics I'm happy. Soccer smack talk with crazy soccer parents is my favorite thing to do. Tad told me in my first call that soccer parents are nuts. I think so many wanted to taste the glory they just paid their way in. I want a pure Surf Cup back, nothing more I swear. This is like the Rose Bowl but better for a dad who never played in a Rose Bowl :)

What is the 9? She played up top in a 4 4 2. I now have you figured out Outlaw. Pretty good you were. Today at 4:06PM my eyes were open. I will never respond to you, The Outlaw, Espy, EOTL and Messy. I got it now and it's like talking to the same person. Man, you had me fooled.

I get the point you are making but no coach ever cares how many clubs you have been at and most don't keep track. If you are talented or even have potential, they will always accept the player. Unless the parents are too much to deal with, that is the only time I have heard or seen a coach turn down a player. There is no such thing as loyalty in club soccer, go to wherever is the best opportunity for your player.

That was my point!

What is the 9? How can you NOT know that's the center striker position? Your eyes aren't opened to anything. I'll bet if a coach moved her to outside back, you'd pull out the portable DVD player showing video of how she averaged 6 goals a game when she was 8-years old.

You got kicked off teams, didn't you? They wanted to keep your goat but the herder had to go. Come clean, Spicoli.

We aren't disagreeing... you're making my point. The kid doesn't get enough ass kissing so mom and dad move her. Not enough minutes... not playing the 9 or 10... and that's why they move 4-5 times. You can get an occasional "bad" coach, or there's a personality conflict, but in my experience it's usually the parents causing the problem... which eventually morphs into the kid on the drive home every weekend.

Yes we have. Good thing we are in a county that isn’t forcing Gruesome’s tyrannical guidance.

Just wish it was more than “socially distant” training.

Not sure fighting the governor bought you much.

San Jose's health dept is very cautious, and they are at the same spot you are: doing socially distant training.

Only difference is you have more cases than we do.

There is nothing wrong with changing clubs. Sometimes a kid wants to level up and play ECNL or GDA or whatever. Sometimes a player wants to take a step back, play other sports, reduce commute, Concentrate on academics, etc. It doesn’t matter what the reason. Do what’s right for the player and the family.

I agree with this. My DD was just released from her club, (she asked to be,) because of it just being a shitty environment. Her whole age group was torn up when a new coach came in and brought half a team with him. This was going to be her third season with that club and they showed no loyalty. So, off she went. It happens.
 
That’s another question I had about surf cup, let’s say it does happen. Most teams have not had contact practices and no one is sure when those will be allowed. So what will the games look like?

Surf Update 7/24/20


To all accepted teams in the 2009 and younger birth years playing the weekend of August 22-23, 2020

At this time we are still moving ahead with plans and preparations to host this event. We are in constant contact with city and county officials as well as the San Diego Department of Health Services.

They have committed to us that they will make a final determination no later than August 1st about whether or not the event can be held as scheduled.

I know that everyone has a lot of questions about the event and the status of it and I'll keep you all posted as I receive information.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. No matter what happens - we will get through these difficult times together!

Take care and stay safe everyone!

In other words they still don't have the ok to hold the event but still are going ahead with it hoping they can find away around the situation.

No answer to your questions but we will keep your money just in case we decide to host the event which will be changed and restricted to something you might not like at the last minute so you can't pull out but at least there will be something called surf cup this summer for your $$$.

Refunds will be issued in case we don't get the ok and you should see them minus XYZ around Christmas time after we collect on the Thanksgiving surf showcase.
