Surf Cup - Best of the Best ECNL vs DA

Accept Surf was still ECNL when DPL was formed and do not participate in DPL. Was more like Albion, Galaxy SD, Beach and Legends.
I was told from everyone who is anyone at Surf that it would be DA or ECNL, no ifs and or butts. Once that 5 year contract was finalized it was all over. That's why I said no to their ECNL offer. Lot's of 03s had to find other teams, remember? Somehow this DPL League came out of no where. Legends got poached a little but also kept girls from leaving with the new DPL. I watched it all unfold before my very eyes at Surf. I could see right through that. I see all the moves they have made and I find it hard they weren't helping out maybe with a little biz advice. This is all marketing. Capitalism at it's finest
Also, US Soccer is behind this league too.It is? Thought that was the whole issue the “anti” crowd was pushing, that it wasn’t sanctioned by US Soccer.I was told from everyone who is anyone at Surf that it would be DA or ECNL, no ifs and or butts.

Remember our conversation at the pitch back when my dd took a side tour back to Legends when the first age groups of DA had 03/04 combo. I think I was drinking some strong Koolaide. I got sold for sure. Surf said no one is allowed to play up and they were selling me hard for 04' ECNL? I told them my dd has a goal to reach. JH reached out and we jumped ship. A month later DA went 03 and 04'. My dd saw an opening and let me have it and told me how much she missed her teammates at Surf (worse decision I ever made and my dd still lets me know how wrong it was and it was). We went back and all torn out great for everyone.
Sanctioned, no. Why? Because they would look a little hypercritical allowing HS Soccer. Let's just say they support DPL more than ECNL.

They were likely watching committed players.

Interesting addition for the Bruins at the Class of 2023. When did TopDrawer start giving 'commitments' access to drunken parents?

I thought the recruiting rules recently changed, and they couldn’t commit until they were a junior or something??

There were some 2023 commits prior to the rule change; just not many. And not THIS particular situation. UCLA has some commits from the 2022 class but I think they're all YNT names. Apparently this mom or dad is breaking new ground. You just commit wherever you want to go and let the coach figure it out when you show up.

Ellejustus, You okay? Keeperpops has you on his watch list and I can buy you a beer or two if you need it. I was at West Coast this weekend and had a good time between games at Left Coast Brewery a few minutes from OCGP. Good bbq to go with the suds.
I know your dd has had a crazy ride but at the same time she has played with and against a lot of great players/teams. That is valuable experience for her moving forward where she can fit in on any team and any system as well as adjusting to any coaching style. Be thankful that when she shows up to a new training session they ask her what her jersey size is. Out of all the lessons my dd has learned from club soccer is to keep working, never quit, and keep having fun along the way.

Sparky!! We were out there too. 3rd year in a row guesting for West Coast..3rd year in a row helping a team get to the semi-finals..3rd year in a row it ended there.
I told my kid your team was out there playing so she said she wanted to wait around a minute to say hi to your coach after your game on Sunday. Never heard of Left Coast Brewery but I looked it up after seeing your post. My kids know I'm always down to eat some good Q!! I'll have to try that place out next time we are out there.
How good is the BbQ there? I ended up at first class pizza they have a good beer to have tselection.Going to hit up left coast during practice now that I know it's right there thanks for sharing that haha
Website pics look pretty good. And the menu shows some really good options. And it was right around the corner from where we played.
Missed it..
Saturday morning we ate at Bruxie. That was new for us. Everyone like that too.
Good hearing from you Sparky! Stay thirsty my friend!

Heat exhaustion ALWAYS has the potential to be serious.
I could be wrong but I think you might be confusing heat exhaustion for heat stroke. Heat exhaustion left untreated can lead to heat stroke..which IS a true life threatening emergency.

That is what I meant. Heat exhaustion can quickly lead to heat stroke in young athletes. Do NOT take chances with heat exhaustion.
A few years ago, DD's team was playing in Dallas in July. I noticed one of the players was just standing there, looking a bit confused with the ball sitting about 2 yards from her. She raised her hand and the ref quickly stopped the game. The team manager carried her over to the trainer's tent and next thing she new she was sitting in a large tub with ice water up to her chin.
This was a lower bracket. The DA team won the top 03.
Negative. Strikers ECNL won the G03 bracket. And there was only one flight for G03s
Oh this was the WC tourney?. I thought we were talking about Surf Cup. My bad.
