And you feel okay about how your club/coach is handling the team formation?

WTF?! lol how do we know what color you are? ridiculous. ignore the bully comments, we just want to know which beach teams you are talking about. Because so far there are some teams confirmed to stay together.
No offense, but you say people attack you because you are a woman of color, but how would any of us know that?
Just seems like a lot of what you “hear” has been way off base from a mass exodus of Beach Coaches to Baker coming to Coach in Long Beach, to the mass exodus of Beach top players. I hope you don’t take me questioning your information as a personal attack.
It would make some sense that there is disruption amongst the ‘03’s as an overall age group bc of the shear # of ‘03’s in the DA program already. Hell, 90% of the 01/02 DA roster are ‘03’s.

Yeah I agree this is interesting. I don't see players going back on the field in June. Pretty sure these coaches want to be on the filed come June given their new contracts starts June 1.

I'v also heard no Beach 05 players are moving!
Coivd19 changed much of what was planned for May and June. Many families and coaches are not truthful about long term plans (Newsflash for those that do not know this already). Slammers will be the winner in all of this and is the place to be long term. Get in while you can.

This is true at every age group? Not one offer has been taken? I find that hard to believe. I’m not doubting that legends and beach are excellent clubs with excellent teams. They are, but I find it hard that neither club loses a single player like you just mentioned. Or are you only talking about a specific age group?
I would hope that people are not doing that for those reasons and I did not know. But, it is the internet and everyone is really tough when sitting behind a computer. The very same people that would never have the stones to confront someone in the real world. You are welcome, keep posting, and stay safe.

For teams in NorCal, I don't foresee a lot of migration to other teams over this. Players seemed to have made moves before the start of this season based on whatever it was that led to the decision, but I am clueless to such things. Plus it seems like the former DA teams aren't certain where they will land so families are waiting to make a decision. I am not sure why a former DA club in SoCal would necessarily lose players a week or two after an announcement was made unless things inside the club itself weren't satisfying what they were looking for.
I wonder how much of the “everyone jumps ship” talk is just wishful thinking by the big clubs. (and a bit of schadenfreude by those who like a good train wreck.)
If you lost a few players to DA (or ECNL), it’s tempting to think that they only left for the badge. That, if the badge is gone, everyone will come running.
Life is more complicated than that, of course.

You win the posting games for using "schadenfreude". Congrats. For winning, you get to stay home for another month.
Look, if ECNL shut down and DA "won", then pats, beach and legends people would be on here looking to see who was leaving eagles, blues, slammers ECNL teams. The negativity between those two programs and the clubs is evident in this forum.
I am talking about one specific player and her 05 team. Kicker has described the situation in the 04 team, which he knows pretty well. I doubt that the core of Joyner's 03 team, which has been in the club for six or more years, will move because most of them committed long ago and this is their last year. I have no idea about the younger groups. Will some players leave in any group? Sure, just like it happens every year. Will the strongest players that have been in the club for a few years stay? That is happening in the 04 and 05 groups, and other great players are joining in. The club (and other clubs in the same situation) will make sure to setup a schedule of competitive matches, work harder than before in developing the players, and probably cup the development of the 03s with WPSL games in Spring. I have no problem with that.
No doubt about how things would have looked if DA had won. They’d be making phone calls and sales pitches right about now.
Just shows that both groups of clubs are about the same. The clubs will play games trying to undermine each other. The kids will play some games when it opens up. Hope your kid has fun when it does.
That could be true, however how will Beach top teams be shifted after LAG 05/04 players come over?

Sorry, let me rephrase the question. How do you feel about how your coach/club are handling the team formation?
Kind of toxic lately. Who does one believe? For me, I took a step back and look to see who is in business still and who threw up the white towel to us to fight over? That was done horrible and now we have all this.
Yes, so true. Same club, same coaches, just with a new sign again. Also, their so happy HS Soccer is a choice now and all these dads see the social value of hs soccer and now that their league folded they have to play the public schools kids as well in their league. This is going to be one wacky fall
