Albion is supposed to open up shop in Temecula Valley. So starting 2020 the Valley will have Hawks, Surf, Legends, Arsenal, Temecula United and Albion. Can you say flooded!
Dont forget Southwest SC and Temecula FC.
I always wondered why their were so many clubs in Temecula and surrounding areas. Hawks should rule the world out there. So many affiliates from the mother ships in the area of 200,000 folks. Is it the talent base?
Sorry, I forgot about them. There’s just too many now. I think there’s also AYSO extra!
No it’s the middle class demographic! Lol $$$
Why do some folks make fun of RR from the SOCAL BLUES recruiting 60 miles away. The business name about say's it all right there and why one would go beyond OC to find the top goats to push the cream to the top. How about all the freaking Mother Ships sending their coaches down to recruit 6 and 7 year olds outside of their head quarters. Poachers? Stay out and play in your own yard. Too confusing. At least RR does all his recruiting in the open for all to see. He is one of the best youth coaches for young ladies. He treats the girls with respect and will push their buttons. He likes to "banter" them from his old English days of playing ball.
RR is the only oNe I’ve ever seen. I poke fun at him, but admit he is the hardest working/recruiting coach in ulittle soccer I know of and a very solid coach. I would say any parent who decides to travel over 40 miles each way for for a kid under 12 to play for a “team with a pathway” to any league is just plain silly.
40 miles is the new measuring stick from Kicker. It used to be how long does it take. My dd drove from Temecula to the Ranch and it took 1 hr and 10 mintes. Gnarly drives through Ortega Hwy so I took 1 hr 20 minutes going around the 76 instead. So silly it was. 10 miles from LAX to Santa Monica can take 1 hr one way. Stop making fun of dads and dd who decide to go with the Blue Pill. Why the rub bro? GK was taken so long ago are you still pissed about that?
Why do you think this is about Blues? Because you want it to be? Everyone is keen to do their own thing.
Isn’t your quote, “stay and play local“ or was that another convenient comment you do t really stand behind?
As for the GK, They are dear friends and they moved south....why would I be bitter?
Anytime the Gaffer or Tad calls, you pick up the phone. For the 99% of the other players with no call from the Gaffer, I say stay local and play local. If you're one of the chosen few goats they call (they look for a certain type of player), you must take the blue Pill. That was my advice to Luis. Not everyone gets the call and I guess some on here get a little jealous their phone didn't ring so you can drive 1 hour to practice.
Cheers!!!

Well I definitely think we are in the “consolidation” phase of youth club soccer. The problem is that this “consolidation” just means 100 small clubs becoming 5 mega clubs, with the belief that these mega clubs are going to give our children more exposure to higher levels of soccer, better training, better everything.
In a few years, when overall numbers continue to decline for whatever reasons (I actually agree to what someone mentioned about birth rates declining) and us parents realize that our children are getting lost within these mega club structures we’ll end up moving right back into an expansion phase and the cycle will start over again and you’ll again start to see smaller clubs pop up that offer more attention to our kids.

You assume too much.....LOL

Kudos for those that called this one, seems strange they want to use the same branding & logo and just change the city name but whatever floats....

Lol. They cast that net far and wide. You don't have to have a special kid to get a call from the Blues. If they're fast or big you're on their radar. Best Athletic Kick Ball Club in the US.
All kids are special, but not all special kids who play soccer are fast, big, strong, mentally tough as nails or all the above and able to make the cream rise to the top. It's a system that you and USSF/DA don't like I guess. That was the first lie from Dr Spooner. Blues play Kickball. Sunil, what club does your goat play at again? It's called direct soccer and 95% of the colleges play it. Is your kid at or going to UCLA or Stanford? If the answer is no, than I would highly suggest you get her some kickball lessons asap unless she is going pro
You forgot about the screaming coaches.
I will say I'm not for that. Not all of them scream but some do. Those kids and parents know what their signing up for so if your in that cycle and hate yellers like my dd does than you go somewhere else. The same holds true to the likes of Dr Spooner actions. They don't speak for all coaches at Surf. My dd HS coach is great as is her Strikers ECNL coach. Blues is in the biz to help girls get into college. They don't sell TC and YNT.

You’re right. We glorify a program that excels in creating kid’s good enough to play at the 2nd tier. We laud them, we are amazed by them and quietly countries across the globe are training kids for the top level and one day we’ll wake up and we’ll wonder what the hell happened. My kid can kick the ball really far and run up a hill with a teammate on her back how can these little countries keep the ball away from us for so long? Happy Holidays

I got this via email the other day:
Dear Arsenal Parents,
Many of you have heard of the great night we had recently where we equipped over 150 players and family members in preparing for college. I wanted to say a huge thank you to our staff who put that event on and to the college coaches who shared their insight, Scott Juniper (UCI), Josh Brown (Valley College) and Matt O’Sullivan (Cal Poly Pomona). We were also able to hear from Gary Whitehouse of Whitehouse Consulting as he prepped our student-athletes for the next level.
At Arsenal, we are committed to evolving and moving to the next level in all that we do. This was key in driving us to forge new partnerships to give our families and players the best opportunities. We have created an alliance with a like-minded club to create Sporting California. Sporting California is an entity that will serve soccer clubs from around the country in administration and help us facilitate our development. Our new playmetrics software gives us a better way for club communication, paperwork, and tracking player development. A relationship through Sporting California empowers our college program and makes the overall parent experience much more efficient. Sporting California will also provide our new Arsenal TV, housing all video from all our games. This will enable our kids and parents to store and share videos as needed for their future opportunities. Sporting California helps Arsenal move to the next level.
We have a long history of development, including our 9 national titles, dozens of now professional players developed and even 3 former Arsenal players who have worn the captain’s band for our US National Teams. I have never been more excited about our future and the potential that sits before our players. We are continuing to strengthen the club and ensure that we are doing what we need to do to function at the highest level. With that in mind, we will continue to roll out new changes, new hires and unveil new steps into our future as one of the premier Development Academies in the West. Our desire is to be able to develop players into the highest levels and ensure that we have the resources and pathway to do that.
As many of our teams take their winter break, I want to remind our juniors and seniors that they should be finishing their FAFSA as soon as possible and registering for the SAT promptly. Also, may all of you finish this semester strong. I am proud of the work that our teams have put in through this portion of the season. I also want to take a moment to offer our thoughts and prayers to the family of our own Rich Boon, who passed away this past July. As the holidays are celebrated… Julie, Aiden and Ellie please know that we are thinking of you and are always here for you.
Parents, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child’s soccer journey.
Happy Holidays,
PJ Brown
