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."

Elite- In political and sociological theory, the elite (French élite, from Latin eligere) are a small group of powerful people who hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, political power, or skill in a society.

Elite athletes (goat) are individuals having achieved excellence within the context of their sport. ... Given that every sport discipline has unique developmental pathways and competition streams, homogenizing the elite across sports becomes a very challenging task.
 
LA Surf Southwest seems to be a new one as posted in the tryouts,. Guess their moving into San Pedro & Wilmington like OC Surf North SouthBay. Hard to keep track with these convoluted names anymore.

Will Temecula United go with the Golden State San Diego now? Wonder and there Adidas.

The interesting context to this is that Surf's affiliation agreements grant the holder exclusive rights within certain territories. So, for example, LA Surf couldn't move into the westside because Santa Monica Surf presumably holds those rights. LA Surf is actually governed by San Diego Surf as I understand it and is not an affiliate, so this means that no other Surf affiliate has territorial rights in the South Bay (or at least in this particular area, however it is defined) leaving LA Surf free to expand into the space.

You would think that these clubs/affiliates would try to build some good teams and reputation first before trying to flood other areas?

That would be the case were it about development or excellence but it's all about the $$$$$....makes me sad as though many may disagree, the name Surf used to be synonymous with quality in youth soccer be it their tourneys or SD teams of young unicorns....
