Silverlakes Summer Showcase?

Surfref said:
I was refereeing boys at Surf Cup today. All B16 games. Had about 15-20 college coaches at each game. One of the D2 coaches commented that most of the "big schools" went to Silverlakes to watch the DA games. There were no DA games today at Surf Cup. I did see a lot of the college coaches talking to the club coaches and players after the games.

Beach FC vs TFA BU16 didn't have any College Coaches at the 8:00am game...and only one ball. TFA used the one ball as a stall technique to burn the clock. At U16, College Coaches can't talk to players, only the Club Coach. But Ref I always respect your post as informative...thanks for the feedback. I would say that Surf Cup in July and Silver Lakes in November would be my choice. But at the end of the day parents are handcuffed by where the Club picks as their showcase opportunity. I will finish with Del Mar has done a real good with the polo fields in regards to parking and getting vehicles in and out. I still think SL has a better facility and getting better, i.e. Fields, parking, seating area, New Restaurant. But the big factor is that lovely July weather in Norco...it had to be about 100 degrees but only 95 in the shade. I hope everyone on this board got an offer for their DD this weekend regardless where they played.

had a great experience at Silverlakes - great refs, 20+ college coaches (top 20 D1 plus others) at each game, 3 balls at each match. No complaints and don't believe all the haters on this forum...

OMG...thing of all the food we can get from the hospitality tent at Surf and if we do it at Silver Lakes we can get sushi, a trip to the whisky bar, and chauffeured around in a cool golf cart...lol. That's one way of getting back some of this Club money we have all paid into. Just make sure you use a school that has a coach on the "hot seat", this way other coaches will think your part of the possible new staff.

And make sure to sit by the coach of the school your dd wants to go to and keep pointing out how great your dd is every time she touches the ball.
 
Dead parent give aways -
Send it
Kick the ball
Nice try
Clear it
Just get it
Be aggressive
Go after the ball

Potential coachism-
Unlucky
Now play
Just play
Just shoot the ball
You'll get it next time
 
Cannot comment on Silver Lakes, but our experience at Surf involved plenty of coaches, but only one very nice ball.

Heard that an infamous coach managed to get red carded at Surf and his team had to forefiet when he refused to leave the field -- in a college showcase. I hope it is just a not so funny jest.

I also heard the same story!

No, each field received two balls. We only used one on my fields both days and did not have to wait more than 2-5 seconds for the keepers to get the ball and set up for goal kicks. There were enough people around the fields that the ball was returned to the field almost instantaneously. Surf Cup has always used only 1-2 soccer balls.

Who cares how many balls you have - only one ball was used.

Why protect the identity of "infamous" coach? Who was it? I know too many coaches who get hammered on this forum to know who you are referring to.

The younger parents would be losing their minds thinking a college coach was watching their little 12 year old.

The coaches I saw talking to players were from NAIA/JC schools, which I believe they are allowed to talk to the players. I know two of the JC and one of the NAIA coaches very well. They and a few other college coaches they were sitting with were the ones talking to the players and are the ones that told me about the D1 coaches going to Silverlakes on Sunday.

Sorry NG...I couldn't care less about the sidelines. I spent all weekend going back and forth between Norco and DelMar, 2 kids playing at different showcases...sucks! Although day 1 at SL we had about 30 coaches for an 8:30 am game...not bad. Over on the boys side at Del Mar for the top non DA U16 bracket...didnt see a lot of attention from College Coaches.[/QUO

Surf was a great experience, nice fields, very friendly volunteers, lots of colleges scouts and really,really hot moms.
The only thing that I didn't care for was the CC card only at the Surf store.
