Still not really getting an answer. On the website/Instagram post, "FC Premier Competitive Soccer" tryouts are at Bosco and "LA Galaxy OC West- FC Premier New Elite Competitive Program Tryouts!"(what?!o_O) are at Los Al.

As a parent, I would need to understand who is who (and why there is now FC Premier Elite) to know whether to send a child to a tryout. But I presume the difference between the two is $1,000. :)

FC Premier has approx 60 teams, of those 60 teams 12-15 teams will become LAGOC West. Those teams are lead by FCP coach’s and overseen by FCP Director’s, (holding higher Lic levels) those teams will compete in a broader scale of tournaments, locally and Nation wide and will attempt to offer a player pathway to different resources in LA Galaxy if desired. Yes the cost is higher because the travel and budget is higher. Your question is absolutely valid and I hope I’ve answered your question’s to some extent.

so the teams coming over are only higher level teams is that correct? boys and girls teams?
 
FCP Coach said:
The club has financial assistance available and will certainly not to deprive athletes from participating. Those will be done on a case-by-case basis.

usually case by case at every club, although non-profits are truly not SUPPOSE to operate that way - legally. I also heard from very reliable source that ALL clubs are to be moving under the umbrella. No real benefit for parent club to only take a handful of teams

A question for current families of LAGOC. What (if any) access to LAG resources have you been given? Has anybody had access to the LAG DA team pathway? What is the actual value added by being LAGOC over FC Premier? What specific resources and pathways are we talking about? I see these terms being thrown around all the time. I need details.

And I did see the access to tournies comment. Do the teams have to switch to LAGOC in order to participate? If they are the same teams, just with different names, why would they not have access as FC Premier? Please help me understand.

Don’t need an MLS team to get on DA track. If your child is good you will get approached. Other tracks available, like ODP to get to higher levels of play. I believe FC Premier already had DA team(s).

We play LAGOC on boys and girls side. Both have played club a short period of time. Son, younger flight 2 and daughter DPL. My daughter came from a flight 1 team. I have been very happy with LAGOC as a club. Very organized and I like the month break for both. gives us a break. solid coaching on both sides. BUT it also is very 'corporate' IMO. I don't know how much flexibility the coaches have and protecting the brand is very important--obviously. I was manager from my sons team and the uniform was a HUGE deal for our coach...where it hadn't been in the past (no state cup sweatshirt in warm ups--LAGOC training tops only). Access to high level tournaments has been awesome for my daughter and the coaching staff seems very strategic in opportunities at the club and college level. My daughter had opportunity to go train at stub hub with the DA. This isn't a goal of hers but she does want to play college. It was good for her to see and train with them. theres a college placement rep on each team that is helping the girls connect with college coaches, etc. We played in norco few weeks ago and although a younger team we have players connecting with decent college coaches.

on my sons side I am little disappointed. Can't quite pinpoint it--may not be the right fit for him. Could be level of play. There are 70 teams at LAGOC last i counted. I typically like smaller clubs so that could be it. My daughters team 'feels' like a small club whereas my sons feels like he is in the whirlwind.

I can't comment on FC Premier except to say every team we have played on both kids side have been solid, challenging teams. I was surprised to hear they were moving those teams over
 
oh, and one more thing....I don't know if the opportunities presented to my daughter were because of LAGOC or just from being on a higher level of team. It could be a little of both. I know ppl bag on the DPL league but for us the competition has been great. last year flight 1 was very inconsistent in the quality of teams.

Does LAGOC have DPL?
I know San Diego and LA do. But I didn’t think OC was part of dpl.

Yes, beginning this year. When we were coming onto the team we were told the team would play discovery, SCDL or DPL. its been great other then I think we have only played 8 games while other teams have played 15??

Looks like they did. They are only using turf fields at Great Park. All other fields are closed.
 
That tournament has the worst luck. I think they are about .500 over the last 6 years.
Irvine City fields are some of the best around. But the close at the slightest hint of precipitation.
