LA Surf is born

Just to clarify. During League players can be "club passed," which is not the same as "Guest" playing. During the Summer Tournament season is when we see "guest" playing mostly occur. Guest players can come from anywhere. Thus, all the Surf Affiliates could get together with the SD/OC/LA Surf and form an all-star team of guest players if they so wanted. All out there with their respective XYZ Surf gear. It might be kinda interesting to see that.

Yes you are correct!

Like I said; it is an evolutionary step that is well planned and thoughtfully executed. The coaches were confronted with a challenge to get the players (and coaches) to the next level. This was determined (after careful strategy) as the long term solution, there will be announcements forthcoming, watch this space...

Does your club fee remain the same?
Will your club get to keep its independence and development philosophy which many have praised?
Will your team get to keep the coach your kid thrives under and is happy to play for?

If the answer is yes to these questions, then it's business as usual. If there is indeed a new pathway to something else, great. If not, you lose nothing.

Personally it's a deal breaker for me if they make me buy new practice socks :). J/K.

Best of luck.

Thanks, the answer is yes to all 3. The socks are free to boot! ;) Best regards...

This is probably not appropriate for work or children. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is the funniest show on television. There is an episode where Danny DeVito is "born" from a couch. Make sure to wear headphones and watch in a room that you can laugh out-loud in complete disgust.
Is this how LA Surf has arrived in our world?
Enjoy:

Doesn’t seem like this club is located in LA.

From the press release and the buzz on this thread it seems the deal is centered around Socal Academy girls program and their DOC is now the LA Surf DOC. Those teams train in San Marino which is in LA county and less than 5 miles outside of LA city limits so I'd argue Los Angeles is an accurate moniker. Pomona is about 40 miles outside of LA city limits. The formerly Soltilo boys will train there. It's less accurate for them, but as Mr D says, still in LA County.

Onto more important matters, I second recommending Always Sunny "who pooped the bed!"
 
I heard that Surf Point Loma (previously Riptide) had a great turnout for younger tryouts this year. They supposedly had about 5x the normal number of players. The Surf brand attracts the parents.

So has Albion made any moves to counter Surf moving next door? I know that this was touched on a little somewhere in the forum.
 
Only LA surf I know can be found at http://swellmagnet.com/ which is run by a parent who's kids play soccer locally

Girls DA taking a turn a few months before the start of the new season.

Coaches announced, SoCal Academy getting the good end of the deal on this one.

Messaging has been generic at this point, player pool is essentially expanded and "tryouts" will ensue as teams will be shaken up both at the DA and DPL levels.

If you read between the lines the coaching assignments say a lot in regards to what the DA teams may look like. A bigger question will be adhering to curriculum / concepts and vision as LA Premier is stating their key personnel will be running the Girls DA platform. Say what you will about wins and losses for the teams, but many parents / players were happy with the anonymity the program had and the direction with some coaches that are great teachers of the game.

Will be interesting to see things play out. Best of luck to the girls, here's hoping that players that were LA Premier from the jump aren't left out in the dust.
