Silverlakes Summer Showcase?

Surfref said:
Surf Cup evidently has no problem attracting teams and a good number of the top teams. Some people like the showcase format and others like to see a winner crowned. There is nothing wrong with having multiple options. For the weekend of 29 July there are six tournaments/showcases listed on the CalSouth webpage with four of those, including Surf Cup, being played in San Diego County.

An observation from Albion Cup this past weekend. The fields at the Oceanside complex were in really good shape. Best shape I have seen them in over the past year. The fields will be closed for the next two weeks so they should be in great shape for Surf Cup.

Surf Soccer Club does not run Surf Cup. Surf Cup Sports runs Surf Cup.

I also watched a couple of Albion Cup games and I agree with your assessment of the fields. I wasn't pleased by the $10 for parking but that is pretty much par for the course. I pay about the same for my player's home games so no big deal.

At least they paved the main road into the parking area. Now they need to pave the rest of the parking lot so my car does not get covered with dirt.

It's a fairly simple process, the Power 5 recruits YNT players, YNT Pool, then ID2/ODP teams/PDP, then players from top teams on down. Now with Girls DA, I'm sure they will have an ID program a step below YNT camp invites.

i thought u and map said that colleges dont recruit teams, they recruit individuals? U said it doesnt matter what team to be on and coaches will even come to consolation games to see individual players? doesn't this say u should play on the best team possible to get recruited? which is it?

I read that U14G DA is unlimited. I believe u15 and up is following DA subbing rules

Here is what each tournaments riles state about substitutions. Silverlakes rules to not specify a difference in subs for DA and non-DA.

Surf Cup:
SUBSTITUTIONS: Teams may substitute only with the referee's permission and only at the following times:

Substitutions shall be unlimited except where specified otherwise in the rules and regulations for a special competition.

For US Soccer Development Academy Divisions, seven substitutions will be allowed per game with no re-entry over 3 stoppages. US Soccer Development Academy 2004 teams are allowed unlimited substitutions.

For Non-DA divisions Substitutions may be made, with the consent of the referee, at any stoppage in play. (USYSA Rule 302 Cal South Rule 2.9)

Silverlakes:
SUBSTITUTIONS: Teams may substitute only with the referee's permission and only at the following times: Substitutions may be made, with the consent of the referee, at any stoppage in play

Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate you.

Must it be spelled out for you? The P5 and top mid-major programs recruit the players with accolades first. These players are offered the most scholarship money. Hence they recruit players not teams! Example a player with a lot of accolades can play for a last place ECNL/GDA team and still be highly recruited over a player with no individual accolades and plays for a Championship ECNL/GDA team.

Now if a player is lacking individual accolades, then it's best to play for a brand name club such as Blues, Slammers and Surf. This will provide maximum exposure the player, because the club name itself will make college coaches open the email and read about the player.

You are clearly barely literate. How many times does it have to be spelled out to you?

Cancelled. Soccer in Norco in July/August is crazy, especially on the turf fields. Heard they couldn't get enough teams beyond the Beach/Legends/Slammers teams that were forced to sign up.

I'm sure @CaliKlines has some good excuse regarding this. You know since they have the Mercedes golf carts and the sushi that probably tastes wonderful in 100 degree heat...

If I'm one of the 28 boys teams in this event and I was forced to play Silverlakes I would be pissed. No real event. No college coaches and 100 degree weather. A wasted event for college exposure. It's clear that the big dogs that support Silverlakes are all about the girls. Good thing the girls have DPL to support Silverlakes going forward. That will be a big draw.

from a college standpoint, up to this point in the US, aside from the WNT players, hasn't it always been about college?

I have to disagree here. My DD went to the Silverlakes showcase last Thanksgiving weekend instead of Surf. We had atleast 20 coaches at every game and my DD committed to a D1 school 2 months later that saw her there. There was plenty of schools that went to both locations. As far as heat goes - summer showcase maynot be the preference (I would prefer to be where its cooler myself) but each opportunity is what your child makes of it. Good luck to everyones kid!!

Um Dreamz was posting about the Boys Showcase at Silverlakes being a waste of time where as you replied to his post about your experience with the girls showcase. In his post he stated, Silverlakes is all about the girls being showcased. Hence, his reply post what are you disagreeing with?

I believe Dreamz was also talking about the Summer Showcase, not the Thanksgiving Showcase.
