Looking for feedback on westside coaches/teams (Encino to South Bay)

[SoCal GK mom]

I was told Breakers caps the number of players on a team (not sure if that's a coach cap or a club cap). If nobody is leaving, your kid has to be sufficiently better than another player to justify knocking out another player. Coach said there were 1, maybe 2 spots, and there were 15 trying out, all very good. Mathematically, someone's going to get rejected.

You've just gotten a taste of the SMU vs. Breakers crosstown rivalry. Disregard what soccerobserver says about the Breakers.

With all the hodge podge of leagues, teams rising and falling, parent confusion, arcane rules, numerous trainers out there, someone might make real money as a "soccer placement consultant". Hey, they have them for college placement.
