Surf Cup Is Happening! Schedule is up!

There is absolutely no way a coach is going to ask you for game footage from 2020. Zero chance. Zero. Practice? Great. Maybe even an intra-club scrimmage. Great. Zero game footage from during the pandemic and a coach who demands that is going to be in front of their AD having to beg for their job sooner rather than later.

Based on what... you querying every college coach in the country?
 
Texted some associates re: game film, and a college outreach coordinator. "CFB bowl games are getting cancelled, not going to be any budget for soccer." "Even ruthless coaches will ask for game film but will not need 2020 tournament highlights, kids should just talk to them." "Whether these kids go to Surf or not will have no weight on a decision. I know of one team going just for fun." These obv aren't 100% direct quotes but summaries of texts back and forth.

Ok I’ll copy this and have my kid send it to the coaches we’ve been communicating with who are asking for up to date film.
 
We all understand Surf Cup is a 'for profit' event. I'm sure you bought it in previous years, too, yes? Or are you another one with no kid in soccer?
Scott, he's a coach and has zero kids playing the game. Many Docs are here Scott as are some club coaches. Many of them cant stand parents with questions. Turf war in socal is stronger then other areas. My dd aged out but this is insane. Face texted with his associates about the kids playing at Surf in AZ and has now warned all of you that he might let his associates know about who is playing. He already has them labeled as B or A players or Tier 1 or Tier 2 for 10 year olds.

Face said: "Texted some associates........."
 
That's great, I hope you have fun. Please understand that you have been sold an experience by an organization that is only being driven by the money, knowing that your olders "needed new game footage" is really going to be crap and college coaches are going to think twice about a player from a family who is doing this in the middle of the worst pandemic in 100+ years. That is the absolute 100% truth no matter how much it stings. Maybe that's more negative bullshit, I don't know, but doing something extremely sketchy for kids that "shouldn't have taken from them" is pretty positive bullshit too.
So if you are right and college coaches will "think twice" about a player that is at Surf Cup in the middle of a pandemic, does that mean they think twice about all the kids that played at ECNL showcases in Phoenix and South Carolina from SoCal? Or do they think twice about all the kids in 45 other states that played HS soccer in the fall? Or who are now playing HS basketball in many areas of the country? The answer is a resounding NO!
 
A few years back, my DD was around 8 years old, out on the pitch. A high school golf coach approached me and ask me if that was my daughter out there...he said he can see that she has great body control and awareness, a natural athlete...and would make a good student of golf. Advised me that it's much easier to get a scholarship in golf vs soccer. If she can break 80, can pretty much write her own ticket. True advise on that day and still true today. My DD hasn't had interest in golf though. She's a freshman, so there's time to work on that.

Yep, that was the way it was related to me also. There is only one female golfer at my kids high school.

Hey, stop with the common sense logic now, that's it ok? You're going to make some sheep's head explode and they will label you a sheep murderer and you dont want that so chill out.
 
I have nothing against what the truth is about college and soccer and scholarship. My dd friend, who has a 4.7, already has a almost full ride at most schools she's interested in. Gifted is understatement and a good soccer player. Might not have top 25 all over her, but she has passion and heart and can run D1 speed wise but not the best IQ in the games and would sit on the bench at big U. She needs to pick the school that she can play at and get amazing degree so she can be an Engineer someday. Their hoping a door opener because of soccer and coach is open to sharing 10% with her. I think her parents have a few bucks so they can kick down the other 10% if need be. I loved playing hoops in college. It made it fun. it was harder on us as student athletes to get excellent grades and ball at a high level to bring notoriety to school in newspaper. Good luck to your dd. These are super hard time for parents who told goats to wait until new rules and that June 15th meet up on the phone and set up visits. Tough times indeed and I was wrong. She should have emailed in 8th grade when she was hot stuff :)

Great response, thanks for posting.
 
Remember that social media is a biased sample. Families playing Roblox in the hotel room probably post less social media than the families eating out in the hotel restaurant.
Wow, they went with "strongly recommend" on the precautions. Not mandatory, but they really really really mean it. They are almost admitting that there are COVID cases resulting from youth sports events.

Off-Field Guidelines:

As most of the COVID cases during youth sports events are spreading off the field, we strongly recommend the following precautions:
• No carpooling of multiple households is allowed
• No mixing of different households of players allowed in hotel rooms
• No team meetings at hotels or restaurants
• No parent social gatherings at hotels or restaurants
• No inside dining or entertainment facilities

You're clown status just went from silver to gold. What a ridiculous bunch of bafoonery.

Is the bafoonery ( your spelling) my post or the fact that Surf Sports actually put that on their tournament site? I did enjoy the use of the words "strongly recommend"

I have said before that Surf Sports has the right to hold the tournament, and it's great that all of the non CA based teams participated. It's a little crazy to let a bunch of teams from the epicenter of COVID 19 participate in their tournament but they made the decision to allow it. They obviously aren't in charge of enforcing the travel rules, and probably met their legal requirements for the use of the fields by posting those rules.

BTW I am not the one who wrote those rules. All I did was post the rules from the tournament. People keep saying there is no risk but even Surf Sports acknowledges that there is risk. I also am not the entity who uploaded a bunch of posts to the Surf Cup Sports website showing all of the teams that travelled out of state making it apparent who violated the ban on traveling to tournaments for teams based in CA. That's buffoonery. Now we will see if there are any enforcement actions taken.

Clowns are people too by the way, it pretty sad that you are hating on clowns so much. That's just not right, especially since so many of them have lost work due to the COVID pandemic. Have a heart and stop hating people who bring joy to so many.

Bafoonery is spelled just right. Look it up, very applicable. You have posted 10k times your hatred for Surf cup. We get it, your team didn't get accepted or chose not to go. Who cares? Why do you keep attacking the entity? Pretty pathetic but you fit right in with some of the other clowns here and their bafoonery also.

LMAO!!!!! Good luck getting parents to comply with that one. They should have specified Bars as well for all the ignoramuses.
 
Let's also keep in mine some of these parents pay their kids for every goal they score. I'm not going to lie, I used that trick and it worked miracles for me and my goat. I knew a mom that paid out $10 a goal Face, no joke. If I'm driving 400 miles for a tournament with my baby, I want goals and you better believe I will have a few things on the line to motivate my dd. Cash for goals, cash for wins and cash for gold medal. There you go bro, that my friend is youth soccer in a nutshell :) Kick ass ladies and go Socal!!!
Wrong message to send my friend. Your basically saying she needs to be motivated! Players are motivated by training and playing the game. You play the game to make the right decision, to make the right pass and to congratulate your teammate for scoring because you made the right decision. Your message is a disaster waiting to happen with teammates who are open to score but a player has $10 on there mind from mommy and daddy to score.

Hold on a sec. You pay your daughter to score goals but you can’t afford cable? Besides the fact that paying children to score is bad parenting, I really think you need to take a step back and re-evaluate what you’re hoping to accomplish in life.
