LA Galaxy to remove alliance program

Whether Galaxy SB gets merged with Beach SB or not, I would think the majority of players would gravitate to beach anyway. Beach is an established club with stability with DA Teams for Girls and ECNL for Boys. Smaller clubs in the area don't have that. Why put your kid in a situation where field space and organization could become another issue with a smaller club? If you got a son or daughter at Galaxy SB come to Beach SB, lets stack the teams and compete against the top 5 in every age group. :D Training and competing against the best will only make them stronger. ;)

This will be the very interesting one. They have a ton of teams. And are pretty competitive across the age groups in scdsl. They don’t have DA or ECNL- so it will be interesting to see if they try to go that route somehow.
They also have access to lots of prime fields throughout Irvine.

Could they form some sort of deal with whatever Galaxy San Diego becomes and leverage their DA arrangement ?

Tim Woodcock’s license agreement with Slammers FC is coming to its conclusion and the Irvine Slammers will continue to exist managed directly under Walid and Ziad Khoury.

Woodcock, an ‘A’ licensed professional soccer coach who previously worked at Derby County in England and has played in England and the USA, truly understands the value of being with a pro club.

Woodcock says he was honored to announce a partnership that will change the face of youth soccer in Orange County. The club joins forces with the #1 rated Major League Soccer club in the United States – LA Galaxy and have become LA Galaxy Orange County.

“The LA Galaxy chose us — they came to us,” says Woodcock who is very proud to bring 2,500+ youth soccer players into the world of the MLS. “This is a massive honor. We were not looking, they recognized the value in our competitive teams, recreational leagues, level of coaching staff and club philosophy — that is what makes this even better.”

“I also want to thank our highly talented coaching staff who are dedicated to the development of our youth players — they have all done a great job, and now it is going to be even more exiting,” says Woodcock.

The transition to becoming the exclusive Alliance club in Orange County will begin soon — the partnership will become fully effective by January 1, 2017

LAGOC parent here. The rumor mill (for whatever that's worth) is:
1) LAGOC will likely revert back to FC Blades (the original iteration of Tim Woodcock's group prior to becoming Irvine Slammers and then LAGOC)
2) Since all the LAGOC teams purchased new uniforms this year, they will continue to play in LAGOC uniforms in 2020 with the full change occurring in 2021.

If he goes Blades, then he might have 250 customers left and the rest will find new homes for next year. I don't know much about this coach. He has a lot of followers so he must be doing something good. I hope all the kiddos have a safe landing. Being sold Galaxy brand three years ago is hard to match this time around.

Change is good and it looks like some super exciting announcement is coming next month so just sit back and relax Captain and let things sort themselves out :)
 
Beach Southbay Director just accepted the Beach Boys ECNL Director position. Perfect timing for the Galaxy SB director to slide right in and bring all his players. Couldn't ask for a better situation, and by bringing his players he'll be set up for success. Hopefully not a coincidence. Please let this happen!! :D

That’s not going to happen. No idea who told you that. They already figured it out. As mention Blades would kill entire business and know using pro club name is where the money is. Like they care if parents/players have to buy new uniforms. New unis = new money

It’ll leak out sooner than later, but...no.

No leaking is amazing. We should have a contest to see who can guess the new club name. I will pitch in $5 and the one who guesses first gets the money pot. Only one guess allowed per forum user. I will let others go first because I think I already know.
 
I'm going with the some Euro club. And they'll talk about all of the great resources they'll get from ManchesDortmundElonaElsea. It will be amazing. They'll send their coaches back there 4 times per year (BOONDOGGLE!!!!) for training. And they'll take several teams back there for tournaments (only those who can afford a 2 week trip to Europe will be invited)

If they were to combine, I would think LAGSD would absorb SDSC. Since their geographical locations are so far about, I think that is highly unlikely however.

Very surprised it hasn’t. My info is from an admin who asked me to not say anything. Won’t break his trust. That $5 buck guessing game will push the leak up once it’s enough for a good steak or a trip to fill the SUV up with gas. :)

I knew it. I had a hutch u know the truth already. I'll bump my donation to $100 for you to give it up now. Admins, Coach Woodcock and his top coaches, the TM and top players parents already know. I bet Kicker knows too...…..I'm willing to pay $100 to see if my sources are any good :)
