Surf back in Presidio

You still haven't got a name yet? Because Surf haven't got one yet.

My point is that for all the "prestige" and so called accolades that Surf claims, they haven't develop or place an elite player to a professional club or an adult national team.

To give Surf some credit they do put some great teams together but so do Albion, Carlsbad, CVFC and Sharks, and Rebels is starting to catch up

Mia Fishel on the current U17 National team?
 
Luca de la Torre plays for Fulham and the MNT
Brian Iloski plays professionally in Poland
Justin Fiddes MLS
Rachel Buehler - WNT Hall of Fame
AJ Soares - MLS
Corey Baird - USMNT, MLS
Alexis Velela - USL
Anthony Wright - EPL
Ryan Guy - MLS
I'm sure I'm missing quite a few.

And not to mention all of the National Team players that continue to be developed from Surf. Catarina Macario, Marley Canales, Sunny Dunphy, Mia Fishel, Madison Mercado, Taylor Kornieck, Julie Doyle, Bianca Ferrera, the list goes on and on. This was from a quick google search.

Surf was named the top club in the nation for producing top college recruits for the past two years: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club...rf-win-16-img-girls-recruiting-title_aid38836

For Chrissakes, at one point SD Surf had 5 of the starting 11 players on the U18 USWNT. That's unheard of.

I'm not a huge fan of everything they do, but in terms of producing top players, there is no one close to Surf.

Corona played for Aztecs and Nomads, Cherundolo played in Nomads, and Arriola played in Rangers, and since they are overriding the Ariel wave, add Albion as well.

Surf is the role model to emulate for any youth sports organization that wants to make millions of dollars without any measurable results. And please don't give me the whole college placement. The only thing they have done for youth soccer is have one of the best tournaments in the nation, and its getting very watered down too.

Whoa! You just blasted the demogorgon..I mean... CoachSammy back to the upside down world! Having Surf back in Presidio has CoachSammy in such a highspeed wobble it reminds me of those parents of the August/September babies after the switch to birth year.

Got me there with Buechler and DeLaTorre. Macario and Canales I knew of both of them and they should carry the senior team unless Macario chooses to be next Marta in Brazil.
 
I don’t want to use the name but on the girls (2000) side there’s at least one that went wire to wire from U8 BCF. She plays on a South American National TeAm and is heading to Stanford

BW also on the 2000 team came over at U10 and is in the USNWT program and heading to the University of AZ

There are many more like that at Surf as well,.. but they came over at u12 or later so not technically developed at Surf.

The biggest switch and bait ever done! That place although it has nice playing fields is nothing of what was originally proposed.

I have a good question for you or anybody that defends Surf. Name at least one player that Surf develop and is a National Team player. Even better yet, that is a starter in MLS.

One of my DD old club teammates who is currently playing D1 college soccer did not even start playing club until she was 12. She played AYSO, softball and volleyball up until she was 12 and decided, with a nudge from her parents, that soccer was going to be her only sport. I am positive that AYSO did not develop her into the player she is today.

You don’t think playing and having fun had anything to do with her Development and love for the game?

Lol. Then wouldn't every team and every league be responsible for developing players? In which case the entire discussion about clubs like Surf not developing players jumps the shark completely.

Consider the shark jumped. I would say that every coach, teammate, opponent and referee play a part in a players development.

It is sick that the Presidio DOC simpletons let them in after rejecting them last year. What is the difference between last year and this year that warranted a change in voting? I am not saying that they should not have been allowed in last year although they did deserve it based on their superiority comments. But what changed? Is it the use of the Polo Fields, that they have been punished enough or that most DOCs have small brains that cannot remember what happened last week? And why because one club had a loser coach involved they were told not to even bother applying for Presidio?

I think you nailed on the head. It seems like the use of Polo Fields for tournaments was part of the bribe to let them in.
