Latest merger affiliate partnership....

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....

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!

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?
 
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.

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....
