Silverlakes Summer Showcase?

I reached out to the tourney about boys side and they said they expect more than the 1 currently listed (UCR). I would hope so for $1350

At this point, that is the only bracket with a mix of ECNL and DA teams - the rest are either only ECNL vs ECNL or DA vs DA.

Some really good teams and some really bad teams. Nothing new to see here.
 
Our 04's played against the Mustangs yesterday. NorCal club that we've never come across before.

I was impressed. Very good mix of players with all the characteristics you would expect of a formidable opponent. Excellent press throughout the game and a combination of possession and direct play. Our girls won in the last minute, but Mustangs probably deserved a tie out of it based on their efforts. If that team sticks together, I expect they will be very strong in the years to come. Sideline was also positive and well mannered.

Wish them luck and hope to come across them again in the future.
 
I said I would report on the number of college coaches on the sidelines of my Surf Cup games. The 8am game had 27 coaches on the sideline at halftime. I was the CR for a G16 game so I only had time to count at halftime. The 9:30 G16 game at one point I counted 38 coaches about halfway through the second half. The 11am G18 had a surprising large number at halftime (I was CR again) with 45. The last game 12:30 was a lower bracket game and I counted 28. I saw coaches from the top D1 to D3, NAIA and a couple JC coaches. My daughter said that she had one G17 game between two ECNL teams where the college coaches filled the entire bench sideline except the bench areas. She estimates there were 50 coaches watching the first half of the game. She said they all just appeared about 5 minutes into the game and about half left during halftime. She said most were big D1 schools. There was definitely a great turnout of coaches at Surf Cup. I asked a few coaches if they were going to Silverlakes and the answer from all four was no. One coach told me he watch a couple DA on Friday morning before going to Robb field to see an Albion sponsored round robin games. He said he was going to see a couple specific players at the Carlsbad tournament. On coach said jokingly that she did not want to visit the 90 plus degree weather so she sent a couple of her players to watch games in "the heat."

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the posters, as my DD would say gassing up the Silverlakes summer college showcase....realize, it's Silverlakes can't compare to Surf Cup's college exposure.
 
I don't even hear crickets in this thread. I would have thought there would be posting about how the sidelines were filled with tons of college coaches.
 
I was posing as a college coach with all my UCLA garb. I'm assuming all the experienced refs went to Surf Cup, because our refs were garbage. Unless the rules have changed overnight?

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.

Refs were garbage both days and today only 1 soccer ball. AR said many had gone missing since Friday so instead of having each team supply a ball you play with 1 and chase all over the track. Surf Cup does not have much to worry about.

Only 1 ball at Surf Cup this year also.
 
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...

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.

The Nike soccer balls at Surf Cup were the $160 ones.
 
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.
