LA Surf Implodes

I just think when the DA season ends on MAY 31st, all hell will break out (IMO). It's just like the same scenario last year when news hit the day after the DA season ended that LAP was coming on board. That's when parents; especially those who were with LAP or oin the past; got upset. In regards to the SGV Surf teams, I can see them not waiting until June 1st as those teams are in the National Cup which starts in early April. They will probably bolt right after the National Cup. But I will have a huge bag of popcorn next to me on June 1st, that's for damn sure...

DA runs through June into to July for playoffs. Players come/go until August when the rosters start to populate.
 
Given how helpful you have become, please tell us what you’ve heard and why it’s going to create all the movement. Don’t leave us hangin’...
"oh my God did I try to Help us all.......I tried all the time....in this soccer institution. Oh my God, I pray every single day for a revolution in soccer."
I think we will have a good understanding of what the hell is going to take place shortly. If no news this weekend, I will share my speculation for 2020-2021 season :)

I agree 2023 and younger are all good. What US Soccer/DA/Surf Cup Sports pulled on all of us was horrible. I told everyone we will see later. 2020 and 2021 have had it the worse. Let's all go back to memory lane shall we....
2016-2017 age groups 02/03 and 03/04 School year. All is good for most except those at Legends and Beach
2017-2018 Age groups 04, 03 and 02/01 Birth year change (Change teams)
2018/2019 Age group 04, 02/03. Combo meal for 02/03 (03 and 02 change teams again)
2019/2020 Age groups 04, 03 Back to single band (change again) Beach, Legends and Surfing USA are the happy ones. Can you all see who the winners are and the losers?
Now what? What are they all cooking up in da kitchen with all the chefs? They don;t care about your kid. They only care about getting more sign ups and more affiliates so they can make more $$$$ and grow franchises like Ray Kroc did when he took the best burgers and ice cream shakes that were made with real ice cream and took McDonald's across the county. Kroc didn;t know how to "develop" good food, only a salesman and he is now the Founder? He decided to make fake ice cream so he could sell more franchises faster. He wanted everything sped up fast so HE could make more money. He also hustled the two cooks who actually invented the best burgers west of the Mississippi. Go watch the founder and tell me how the soccer business is any different.

McDonald's has the best burgers? I must have missed that part of their history. As I recall, their marketing was based on fast and cheap, with the clown as an afterthought.
 
That's like saying the 2016 Browns were stronger than the 2017 Browns....they still weak lol

But to be more accurate the u17 (03) and u14 (06) OC Surf teams are both just ahead of the LA Surf teams....LA Surf is just ahead in u15, u16 and u18/19.......soccer 43 is right about game played.....BUT both club's teams are nearer the bottom than the top of the standings and it's pretty clear these two mostly represent $$ with the SD teams the only ones actually doing business on the field.......
Remember to look at the teams they have already played in addition to the number of games. If you are playing only the bottom half up until now and another team is playing the top half, that also screws up the "comparison".

Don't forget that the 03's also got screwed by NCAA rules. Most 02's weren't affected, 04's were still freshman, 03's rushing to commit before the rule change while leaving many 03's just beginning the process.

Don't forget to add in the NCAA rule changes! It didn't affect 02's because they were older, 03's got screwed, 04's were younger and just beginning the process and it probably helped them, gave them more time.

Don't forget the creation of SCDSL because a few adults thought they could make more money by allowing unlimited teams per age group and letting teams select whichever flight they want to play in.
 
I wonder if the Tier 1-2 system that is being put in place on the boys DA side would ever be implemented on the girls DA programs as I am sure that may also stir things up.
 
To all parents and coaches who don;t like what has happened the last three years in socal girls youth soccer regarding recruiting tactics that are sprayed with fear and manipulation (rumor and lies): We are about to experience another episode of soccer madness. I have felt all your pain, I promise. We need to establish something for the future so parents and good coaches can feel represented at these big meetings where all the changes are cooked up. We all know only a few coaches and parents are getting most the loot from us paying customers. The average parent and coach has no say right now but are the ones who make this business go. Without this group, you will have no business being in the soccer business. They need us to survive. Yet we put up with the worst customer service ever, in any company that I have seen in my 53 years on this earth. Coaches have it hard too, lets not forget that. I came up with an idea for a name for us, PCA. Parent & Coaches Association. We need a voice and a say in future big decisions, like Birth year change and "no HS soccer." Not saying the PCA gets everything they want like 100% honesty, but we should have a voice. We have the power of the pulse, lets not forget that. Let's see how the new roll out is taken this time around.

P.S. I already know what will happen but I don;t have 100% confirmation. I'm not trying to tease any of you. There is a war for LA, IE and OC soccer customers, basically all of us. They want our check book first with early commitment. If your really really good, many will offer free and a chance for the YNT. One will call you and pull one arm. Another will call you and pull the other arm the other way. Then another will pull your leg with so much shit you will be tempted to go that way. Still another will threaten you with a poor decision because they know everyone in da industry and so on and so on. I went through this for two years straight. "Don;t go there, there not part of....." Oh, they won;t have ecnl, we are first in line to get ECNL. Or, I have special connection and access to the DA.....

This video is about all the soccer clans in socal (families) coming together to take on those who hold all the power (money) in youth soccer because they have all the money and jobs for the top coaches. I'm no William Wallace. I'm just like the old guy at the 2:57 mark. I will hold judgement until all the changes are announced.

 
@espola go ahead and make fun of me with all my rumor lies that I have shared on here sine July 2019. I'm still here and 99% of my haters are gone. Why...................

If you have something to say, just say it. There is no reason to be an asshole about it.
I don;t have 100% and that's why. You think anyone has 100%? Yes, some already know and they don;t want all this out yet. If my source is wrong, then I look like a fool like I did in July. So, call me names sir but I won't stoop low like that anymore.
 
They just have you on ignore.
I was 100% wrong about my haters being gone. My PM just lit up like a xmas tree with my haters letting me know their still here eating popcorn and seeing what the pulse is with the parents who come here like I did to find out, "Whats going on.". They either had me on ignore, don;t want or need any help from my posts. That is within their rights. I will engage the debate with less emotion and more facts this time around if everyone wants to come back and have a civil online discussion about 2020-2021 season. If you make any money in this business, please disclose that up front so we see where your coming from.

I hope your intentions are good and you really are trying to help.

But you are stringing people along by saying you already know what will happen, but you're not 100% sure, others already know but don’t want it out it, or your source might be wrong, and then leaving all to hang.

I suspect for families that will be affected by whatever goes down and are trying to figure out what to do in the best interest of their kid, it may feel like you are teasing them and not really helping.

Either say it, take “credit” if you’re right or own up to it if it ends up being wrong. Or perhaps don’t say anything at all until the horse it out the barn.

Super Sorry for making you feel that way. I was just trying to give clues on what I think might happen soon based on my intel. I get a lot of hate from those in power in soccer right now and it's frankly scary. I'm just a dad who cares about his dd well being and my fellow parents believe it or not. I don't want to make light of this. We need to let the clubs announce their plan for 2020-2021. Right now the information is mixed so sometimes it's hard to believe the information I even get. I will work hard this weekend to see what I cam find out for all of us. You guys do the same. Maybe we will all get the information we need so we can make decisions for 2020-2021.
