Nor Cal GDA Teams - What's Next

Put those two teams together and let coach Deza pick his top 16 from both teams 04 teams. Take the other 20 and let them be on the ECRL team. Push the old coach down to ecnr and most of his players. Pure competition too!! That would be probably the best team ever put together for U17.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Like Mr Ball said, “Stay in yo lane!”
MVLA 04 is coached by Erin Montoya, who is not only a great coach for those 04’s, but a great role model. Her 04 team picked up a top, National Team player that left Deza for better coaching. We hear parents leaving Deza for whatever reason all the time, but you never hear that about MVLA, and especially Erin or Albertin.

The existing coach(es) of the MVLA 04 is/are pretty alright in their own rights (Albertin and Erin Montoya) and the Stanford Coach is the coach of the #2 MVLA team, so I don't think Deza would go their and claim the thrown of that 04 group :)

Although I think there was more to it than better coaching, but missed your post before adding mine!

bro, I know what I'm talking about but it's still in 2017 and 2018 in my head. 2019, the earthquakes was the #1 04 team at the GDA. I have never heard of coach Montoya and he seems like a top coach. However, were talking Deza here. I watched that coach those players and they almost beat us, but.......I think to make the best of the best, have those two teams combine and then let them fight it out for top 18. How about duel coach roles? Montoya/Deza? These GDA teams had 6 coaches on the bench before so two for ECNL is improvement imo :)

This thread is on the socal soccer forum. I have interest in that super team and I want better for all. So if we live in socal we cant make a comment in nocal thread?I have no idea on how teams are formed up there either. MLVA seems to me to be doing it right. I was just testing to see how loyal you guys with MLVA are and why I put them #1. MLVA is my top team hands down. great job fighting for whats right. Sorry for testing you. I will stop the test

That's way too high from what I know. The '04 team that won the National Championship only started 1 girl that was from beyond San Jose / Peninsula if I remember correctly. If I had to guess (and it is just a guess), I'd say 15% tops, club wide, but they are generally difference makers. Which makes sense - why travel that far to sit on the bench. Deza is the draw. I'd also guess none of those girls would travel that far to play for Quakes otherwise. I know of a handful of girls who travel a the same type of distance to play for MVLA as well.

Even in 17 and 18 this Quakes team at DeAnza wasn't beating the MVLA team. Also from what I have heard Deza is more of a figure head, but surrounds himself with excellent coaches and recruits well (proof is in the pudding).

50% is probably high, but good hyperbole and indication of how Deza recruits (home games in the fall in Manteca) -- the team that won the 2019 DA had at least 4 girls not in the Peninsula/San Jose/Gilroy area but rest I am not sure of.

I never saw head to head and I only no about them because they were the Force to be wreaked with. My dd team beat them 2-0 and my dd old coach and him had these epic battles that were really about them as I look back. They both got paid and I got slammed for speaking up. I speak up on bad behavior and the next think I get from coach was, "I'm the way, the truth and life." "I know all D1 coaches and you have just put yourself in timeout for questioning my authority and all the connections I have. I was the wrong fuc*king person to pull that stunt on. So protect MLVA and the brand is my advice today.

In the case of the Quakes, I think “local” for them is all of NorCal. I noticed there were girls driving from Modesto bypassing LaMorinda. Others were coming from Salinas. I think it’s possible for Davis, Mustang, and MVLA all to get a few Quakes players.

Very common for Deza to bring kids from literally anywhere in Nor Cal. Usually not from Sacramento/Davis areas but certainly South of San Jose and from the Central Valley it seems.

Why stop with just firing the MVLA coach, replacing him with the Quakes coach and then replacing half of one of the best teams in the country with half of one of the other best teams in the country? As long as we’re in fantasyland, why don’t we just hire Pep Guardiola to coach? While we’re at it, we can bring over the best from every club within 150 miles and have them all drop out of school so they can practice full time. Shoot, families will move from all over the world just to train in this new super program, so we probably only need a couple of the Quakes players, not half of them. They’ll be so good they can just go straight pro instead of college, and money will start raining down on women’s as momentum causes millions to start going to games and NBCSN buys the TV rights for a billion dollars. It’s going to be so great.

What are you doing dude?

Coach, it was a test to see. I said sorry to the dad and I got my information.

I’m sure they regret not having you around to run off their paying customers.
 
There were 16 teams in the NPL ‘03 Champions League this past season. Several of the teams are ECNL including MVLA ‘04 and Mustang ‘04.

They obviously want to be competitive and win every game but MVLA will use NPL as extra reps, position changes and extra playing time for those that don’t get as much in ECNL games.

Placer’s B NPL Team (2nd Team) was in NPL Champions League so they can place their DA team there next season if they want. Thorns ‘03 and ‘04 NPL teams were at the bottom of the NPL1 standings so they wouldn’t get the automatic promotion to CL. Sounds Lamo and Quakes would have to go through the process to qualify.

Choosing to join a new league (GAL?) would not make sense for NorCal clubs. ECNL and NPL are the only real options up here.

This is a fun exercise even if frivolous!
For the 05 it looks like they would all slot into NPL1 if no DA considerations (Thorns 3rd ranked DA, Placer 17th and Quakes 31st)
04 there are no Placer or Quakes NPL teams it looks like and the Thorns slot NPL1 ( Quakes 7th ranked DA, Thorns 28th, Placer 29th)
03 Placer slots NPL1, Thorns play into NPL1 and no Quakes (Thorns 35th DA, Quakes 46th, Placer 58th)

The DA ranks could be a little misleading especially for the Quakes depending on who was playing when against what opponent. Not really sure how LAMO was granted DA status and was able to hold it all 3 years, small club with only 1 age group doing well.

Can you have 2 teams in NPL at different levels if not granted ECNL status? I agree that ECNL and NPL are really the only ways to go in NorCal outside of some AAU style tournament league with SoCal.
