Yes, your thinking of the 07’s, that group has a decision to make where they will go. DA will stay intact and not merge with Beach.

OK. I used to sell Yellow Pages in the "South Bay Directory" and Carson was in it. The South Bay folks from Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach were dead set against it. I have no idea why they had arguments over it. Some say Carson is in Long Beach. Same thing with San Pedro? OC Surf of the South Bay? Where are they pulling from?
They were CDA Southbay.
OC Surf South Bay was one 2007 FRAM team that moved to OC Surf as a satellite team (IIRC). I remember the South Bay directory. Growing up in Gardena I always considered that part of the South Bay. Maybe not South Bay proper (city that has a beach) but South Bay area/region.

So LAG DA is just going to have tryouts without a club to primarily pull from? the 07 Girls from LA Galaxy that should be getting promoted to DA is what I was told would be merging with beach. If LAG still has a DA, why don't they just stay with LAG? or are they just following the LAGSB coaches that were also DA coaches that moved to beach?
I know YP got sued and Sparkletts back in the day for red lining. Snobs like Bill Lamebeer didn't want to be associated with the other parts of "The South Bay."
Yes, it seems like they are following suit with how they form teams on the boys side. Id be surprised if the entire 07’s group from LAGSB goes to Beach because homegrown players will also be part of the framework. I can tell you none of the 05’s or 06’s at this time are considering a move. And, yes, If the 07’s follow it would be because DS is their coach.

Wow, a club having uniform order issues. I've never heard of that.
It was more of an Adidas issue.
LAG ran out of free loaner used kits and couldn't find any at there stores & kiosk, at the stadium I suppose but you can find them a plenty at most swap meets and the Galaxy equipment people make them all the time also.

My dd is an 05 and is currently aiming for DPL in the SB to stay semi local.
Is Galaxy DPL 05 (Sosa) merging with Beach? I hear coach Pineda will take that team over this upcoming season at Beach.

Interesting... seems like Beach DPL will definitely grow stronger if the coach fits that team. Any thoughts on Pineda? I hear he’s on the younger side and my DD was meant to play for him back when he was with Galaxy SB

I don't know him personally but my dd guested for him once...liked him and he preached development which is cool...doesn't appear to have have top teams but has them playing some nice passing soccer....
What a cluster &$%* this all is for the parents. The deals for the rosters for players that will be on the top teams and get the best exposure are already made behind the scenes and most parents just don’t have a clue and fall prey to the hype and false promises - all a grand manipulation to control your players for personal benefit and parent’s pocket books
As long as they "preach" the development philosophy everything is good with the "pay for play" parents model we have in youth soccer. My dd and her HS friends just upset Capo Valley last night and it was a free game. It was a fierce competition and all the girls learned how to fight and not back down to a team full of Jrs and Srs. We have one Sr and she's a stud GK. Capo came into town and talked smack since they usually beat LBHS in big sports. Well, not tonight. True development game on how to win!!!!
"We are excited about the opportunity to offer an elite soccer program in this region to continue the success of LA Surf. The Surf brand brings the best of development into our area, giving players the opportunity to develop and play at of all levels of the game."
