Maverick Ports Travel =http://www.mavericksportstravel.com/

Started by Surf Cup guys, Mike Connerly and Rob Haskell. Mike is retired. Rob is still involved. How many of the other Surf Cup Sports board members own a part of Maverick, I am not sure.

Oh wow!!! Those SCS guys got their hands in so many things called soccer my head is spinning. I had no idea. Good for them. Talk about a monopoly. You must stay here or no invite? Make a few bucks on each transaction? 15%? Force everyone to use their travel site too?
 
Figures. A non profit can’t pay excessive salaries to the board members. So they require other people to pay excessive fees to Maverick Travel, so that Maverick Travel can pay the board.

Does Silver Lakes pull the same stunt with ”Stay and Pay”?

Silverlakes was in the works for on site hotel like they have in Dallas I think. Water park too. Stay the whole weekend and play soccer and water park and horse rides. Girls 14 or 15 years older probably not interested in all that. So Surf Cup was actually watered down by these SCS executives? Surf Cup went from #1 tourney to the most watered down kool aid drinking tournament around. Mavericks company makes some good $$$ for hotels? Signing up all those affiliates guaranteed more surf cup customers and hotels. I'm starting to see the revenue pie in soccer and how some figured out a way to make money in a non profit environment.

I was just talking to a friend about the 03 age group, the 2021 grads. Most of the top girls have been recruited and can play anywhere and for any club/team next year. These girls can play high school their senior year, they can play near home, have a life outside of soccer, and they will most likely still kill it on any team. Or they can stick with their current team, hope that everyone on their team stays or doesn’t get replaced, and try to win whatever championship there is next year. So many decisions to make right now. Sucks to be a 2003, these girls have been thru so much change during their soccer years. One more year of change and then they can be done, finally!

100% correct. Club soccer is pretty much over for them. Spring season gone, no ECNL playoffs.. perhaps just a showcase if it's possible to still put one together. That leaves Fall season and that's it. Assuming they are committed, what is there to play for at all in Spring? Just trying to stay fit so when they show up to camp in the summer for their college teams they are not injured and ready to roll. It is sad. My DD is an 03 so it's really starting to hit home :(

I know a few who had official visits that were cancelled. It was supposed to be an exciting time for our girls.
Hopefully, they will get to enjoy their senior year.

When you use the term “monopoly”, I think you mean to say you’re an idiot who has no idea what you’re talking about. Is Surf Cup the only youth soccer tournament? No? Then not a monopoly. Is Maverick the only negotiator of group hotel rates for companies? No? Then not a monopoly.

You’re seriously telling people they should throw away $500 so our daughters can play crap teams in LV, yet you’re whining about the group discount that Maverick gets you?

I apologize ahead of time, my time in youth soccer is coming to an end, so I am through with suffering fools.

Pre-SCDSL, when ECNL was first formed, the "shit" teams left in CSL included Beach and Legends. When they left CSL to help create the new SCDSL league, and accommodate and play a bunch of ECNL "B" teams, they brought a bunch of shit with them from CSL to fill out the brackets. SCDSL was entirely made up of former CSL teams. So by your own logic, perhaps they simply wanted to be the cherry on top of a pile of their own shit.

Old CSL was terrific, flight one was the top flight and teams moved between levels, up and down, based on merit. SCDL started when CSL wouldn't make any changes to support the DA schedule. I think a contraction to youth sports, specifically expensive sports like youth soccer is about to take place. It would make some sense to consolidate the leagues and travel for whenever this starts again.

You see to be fond of the Wikipedia tactic. When was the last time you showed something wrong there?

I've explained this to you 10 times now. ANYBODY can post to Wikipedia. It's not a credible source for anything. When every article has "citation needed" half a dozen times, it's fairly simple. Listen, I get it. You used wiki as a credible source a couple of times and we made fun of you. Relax... Obama once said we have 57 states and the White Sox play at Cominksy Field. Shit happens.

So -- nothing, then?
 
Tournaments like Surf Cup are going to get very expensive given that everyone will be hungry to pay these ridiculously expensive tournaments. It’s sad to think that you are paying $300 to $500 a game for so many random tournaments. I hope coaches and managers get smarter about tournaments moving forward. I highly doubt it.

There's a legitimate argument in place that suggests California has already seen its wave of Covid-19. That many, or most, of us were already exposed months ago and didn't know it. And what exactly is "without any controls"? Your "doubles every 3 days" was in New York. That doesn't necessarily apply to the rest of us.

How long until it is like chicken pox in the old days when they set up play dates so we all could get it....

There is a vaccine for chickenpox now --

en.wikipedia.org

Varicella vaccine - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

Having chickenpox as a child increases the likelihood of having shingles when older. The vaccine reduces that risk of shingles (and there is also a specific vaccine for that)

Shingles Vaccine | SHINGRIX (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted)

SHINGRIX is a shingles vaccine for those aged 50 years and older. Find dosing details, administration tips, and more

Boy oh boy I wish I could share what I just found out! But I don’t want to be the bearer of terrible news to a few SoCal clubs. Yikes. There will be a few unhappy DOC’s scrambling for a new lie to sell their players as their ships sink. They will most likely try and keep DPL afloat but it won’t be tied to anything.
Let’s put it this way until everyone starts hearing from their own clubs and posting the info.
DA gone. Both boys and girls.
The general info I got is.
ECNL just picked up a whole bunch of DA boys teams to make boys ECNL legit now. 6 month season. boys play HS again. Little travel and a national playoff.
On the girls side, ECNL got back the cream of the top and a few other clubs they didn’t have before but have boys ECNL now and were always on the outside looking in pre-DA (you may can figure that out).
There will be an ECNL RL2 division for the A teams of the top clubs and the A teams from the current bottom dwellers but no one is getting kicked out of ECNL, just demoted to a lower level.
So, high school is back for everyone. Boys won’t have much travel. ECNL boys becomes competitive. ECNL girls reigns supreme and outlasted the disaster of US Soccer DA.
Shit about to get REAL.
I can’t wait for the sales pitches for those DOC’s that ended up with sand in their hands and then tryouts. Oh boy.

Mortality rate world wise is 6.22% (source WHO). Your numbers are off, percentage should be based on number infected not number in an artificial boarder area.

High School soccer will have relevance again, for the past couple of years it reminded me of when baseball had their strike and the minor league players played up. Should be interesting...

No, I'm saying it's ENTIRELY possible that 2,800+ people stayed home with flu like symptoms like they do every year. How many times do you go to the hospital when you have the flu?

You don't figure the death rate based on total population, you base it on the number of people infected who die. Or you could use the total population of the United States to figure out the death rate in California, or why not use the total world population for that matter to figure out the death rate in California.
