Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA

Like I said earlier, I don't mind Vegas, its just another excuse to go there. I just prefer to travel less. Nothing wrong with wanting that. Kids will still go to out of state showcases to get that flying and team bonding experience. We will see if the regions change. We got enough socal teams for our own region now, so lets wait and see. agree to disagree. we both have our own opinions.

good luck in the CSL and SCDL then as ECNL will remain regional. It is the SW Conference not the SC conference. It is one trip and is not killing you or you player would not be in the regional league they are in. Why are your club dues so high? That is my next question.

How long is the drive for the longest match you are willing to play in that SC traffic?

You guys drive all the way over to Yuma for a U10 match every season? dang.

When out of metro area teams join the Bay Area leagues, they only get 1 or 2 home games. The rest are away.

If we tried to make the San Jose teams drive to Monterey, some people would stop signing up. You’d lose more kids in the center than you would add in the boonies.

Same problem for olders. Every time you add travel costs, you lose some kids.

Stop trying to reason with people here. Rational thought does not work. Only consistently mocking people for their stupidity works. BTW, where’d @Ellejustus go?

I promise you, the drive time is not as bad as vegas. And trading Vegas and AZ with more local teams will cut travel time by itself.

How long. I can make it from here to Del Mar in 4hrs. 5 on bad days.

PS Your Governor opened the beaches. How did that work? See you in Vegas soon :) Again, Eddies has great ice cream.

I guess we will see. To me, its clear that ECNL is planning on adding more teams and regions to localize the travel. That's what I get! from the article. If you read it a different way that's fine. time will tell.

I guess there are more "elite" ECNL players everywhere. What a joke! Add teams and let's call them all "elite". Talk about a watered down league and talent spread out. Isn't that one of things everyone was complaining about with DA and ECNL ?

Newsom represents the interests of the intelligent people who voted for him. CA parents are not going to let their kids go to a state of idiots who idiotically decided that U13 girls’ soccer tournaments are more important than, well, people living. No one with a brain is going to send their child to your dump of a state until they’re sure that you aren’t going to kill them.

Dump of a state... you went to the lowest common denominator because you prefer to do that than answer simple questions. why is NV a dump?

We don't need Vegas or AZ to keep the region competitive. Lets just be brutally honest here. You don't want your league to be watered down if the cali teams had their own region. That's where you argument stem from. Im sorry, but that is a strong possibility with more socal teams being added, especially ones that are equal if not better than Vegans AZ teams. no need to go back and forth on this. it is what it is.

How long will it take the myopic Legends and Beach parents to figure out that they are never getting into ECNL? It is amazing how even the smartest people sometimes let emotions cloud the mind. Slammers and then Blues are where it is at on the girls side.

Blues can only recruit so many players. Wait, forgot, recruit dump, recruit dump recruit dump. Rosters do have a limit.

And you don't want to travel and lose to a team you feel is not up to your standards in your ivory tower if we are being honest. You are right Socal does not need AZ or NV but we are here and that is not changing. They way I read Lavers comments. You read them the other way.

Yes, I agree. But ECNL can do what it wants now, no competition anymore. Im just glad I live in socal where even if we added teams, it wouldn't be watered down like other states. I just foresee that happening for ECNL in the future now that DA is gone.

SJ Earthquakes
Dear players and parents:

First and foremost, we hope that you are all safe and healthy while we all stay home to fight the ongoing pandemic that has affected all of our lives.

In the past few weeks, U.S. Soccer announced that they eliminated the Development Academy for both the boys and girls. This decision came down quickly amid the shutdown of all soccer leagues across the country. As with every business, this pandemic has caused us to evaluate all of our operations, including our youth soccer development programs. We have spent the past few weeks examining our options for the future of the Earthquakes youth soccer platform, and after much deliberation, we have made the difficult decision that the Earthquakes Girls Academy program will cease operations, effective immediately.

Over the past three years, we have been consistently impressed by the work ethic, positive attitude and humbleness that all of our players and coaches have displayed. You, the players, have been outstanding ambassadors for the San Jose Earthquakes and the local community. We appreciate all that you have done for our organization and will not forget all that you have achieved both individually and collectively. You won national championships, tournaments and many of you earned the great honor of representing your country with various national teams.

We know that it is a difficult time for everyone and that this decision will create more uncertainty for you. We want to let all of you, both players and parents, know that we are here for you as you transition to a new challenge. If you need any support or guidance on the next steps for your future, we are here to help. You proved over the past three years that you are among the top players in the country and carried yourselves the right way. We know that you have a bright future ahead both in soccer and in life.

For all the parents, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to coach and learn from your children. We appreciate all your support and commitment and for helping your children achieve their goals. Our staff will work with you to help find the best option for your daughters as they continue in their soccer career.

We also want to let the parents know that we will be refunding all payments (registration/training fees) made since training was halted on March 12. All the money from March 12 through the end of the 2020 season will be returned. Our staff will coordinate those refunds with you. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Finally, we also wanted to let you know that we will keep all girls’ development academy coaches on staff through the end of June. They will be available to help with the transition as well during this time.

We want to thank you again for everything you have done for our organization. We are proud to have worked with all of you and wish you luck. Stay healthy and let us know if there is anything we can do for you now or in the future.

Sincerely,

Jesse Fioranelli Chris Leitch
General Manager Technical Director

I'm not saying they're not up to my standards. Just saying there are teams here of equal caliber. Its not socal teams responsibility to make sure vegas has a higher level of competition. Talk to Lavers then because he specifically said more teams, more regions, less travel. I guess that means something else to you.

Like I have said many times, I’m perfectly fine rolling around in the muck with the bottom feeders. If you want to take a swipe at CA with your Newsom comment, I’m game.

Have you looked at the CDC stats based on age? Or how about Cal stats.

In Cal not a single person under the age of 17 has died as a result of COVID.

In Cal 50% of all positive cases reported are 50 and under. That same age group represents just 6% of all Cal deaths.

Go look at the CDC stats. Nationwide the CDC as of Monday lists 37k deaths (yes there is a lag in reporting on the site).
51 out of 37300 deaths are from people under 24 yrs of age.

44 and under constitute about 1000 out of the 37300 deaths.

Add in another 2k deaths for 45 to 55 age group.

What we are seeing is that for your average person, the risk is rather minimal.

AZ doesnt have a single death under the age of 20 based on todays statistics.
55 and under account for 8% of all deaths.

NV doesnt have a single death under the age of 18.
under 50 deaths are similar to CDC stats.

The risk issue really is related for individuals 65 and older and have an underlying medical issue.

He did say that. No doubt and if you look to the Midwest and East coast the additions are creating less travel there. You read it as it effects SW as you do not want to travel. You can read it how you want. I just do not see NV and AZ leaving the sw.

CA is an easy target and so is NV. Soccer wise you all live in an Ivory Tower looking down at AZ and NV but when you lose to our squads you make excuses. Again it is a regional league and neither state will be changing regions. Bring some extra cash when you come out as our service industry needs the boost.

I just chuckled and almost made a mess with my coffee.

Soccer should be as inclusive as possible....but we dont want LV and PHX in our league. So while arguing for inclusiveness you are at the same time wanting to kick out some ECNL teams in the division. Ok.

You are pretty dense yourself. You can play in LV or PHX. Kids shouldn't be excluded because of the daunting financial commitment.

Here ya’ll go again arguing that trying to make youth soccer affordable and more inclusive is “elitist” and “ivory tower”, while affluent people trying to make it more expensive for others because it serves their own personal benefit is “inclusive”. Only Trump voters fall for that garbage.

I’m not about to feel sorry about not giving money to someone who can laugh off punching a hole in a Picasso. If you’re into helping the service industry, get on a plane and fly to SoCal.
