Surf Cup's Fate

Yep. I actually think its kinda dumb to record oneself violating rules and then submit the recording to a university in hopes of gaining admission. Your thoughts?
I would never have thought of that. Interesting. I couldn't even guess if it'll be detrimental.

I don't have a highschooler but I sure hope they, (out of all those going,) are shown some grace. So, I'd hope not.
 
Does anyone besides me think that attending Surf under the current conditions could violate some sort of university moral/ethics code and adversely impact your kids admissions packet?
Nope, not if you are auditioning for a coveted Pac 12 roster slot.
 
Roughly 400 teams, maybe a bit more have pulled out. Have to hand it to their communications teams, they are doing admirable work. And looks like Scottsdale will honor the contract. Great fields. We'll see what other fields they've been able to harvest. I would guess fields out in the west valley.

They won't have the capability to live stream but at least they will provide video support.
And how many of those 400 teams are Surf teams forced to play? Surf San Diego has to have at least 60 teams; and, all of the affiliates who, I'm sure, are obligated (or feel obligated) to send teams as well.

Have no idea. I guess we'll know once they release the updated list of attendees. I'm sure there are plenty of non-surf teams that will be in attendance.

I never thought about that until you said something just now Dre. Good point bro
 
450 teams reconfirmed for Surf PHX with 50 new openings according to mail that went out over the weekend.

Our club doesn't normal play surf so just passing along some info heard recently from others.
 
For the record, if my dd was under 12 like Luis #2, I would be all over this tournament and singing Surf's praise for providing sports for my dd and entrainment for me in these challenging times. Extra fields means extra spaces and that means extra $$$$$. Olders, no thanks. California girls are not in shape, unless you have da keys to the gym ((soccer fields)). I speak gym because I had connections to some cool gyms back in the day and I got to train while others were in the cold park with the wind. Some clubs have connections and are ready to go all out for top coaches. My dd needs to play way more then friendlies. I spoke to top trainer and he said my dd needs two months before she is ready to go all ganas. HS Soccer, here we come!!!
 
Uh do all the college coaches attending violate YOUR moral code to?....lol....what a ridiculous post
Are coaches allowed to attend? It’s a real question because according to this ruling below they shouldn’t. I am just curious on how Surf is getting coaches to attend.

No. I don’t think it matters if your kids want to go to school in Florida or Arizona. However, I think it could be a factor in the analysis for kids wanting to attend California universities both public and private.

Not my moral code either. I just recognize that attending tournaments now is a politically charged issue and I hate to see these kids become victims of circumstance just because their parents are thinking short term. From my understanding, the top kids is this group have committed already. So, I don’t think the demographic that’s attending surf cup for film should do so because the marginal benefit (game film) is not worth the risk (exclusion from dream school). These kids are gonna be on their own and the “scapegoat” when the shit hits the fan.

Look at the dates of that temporary stay. It was geared towards D1 coaches. My kid did a college clinic in Scottsdale 2 months and it was loaded with at least 12 coaches in attendance.

D1 coaches cannot legally attend. d2/3/NAIA can.

Getting film of games vs decent competition almost as important a being seen in person at this point with the delay until mid April.

It would be interesting if California required travelling teams to quarantine for 14 days AFTER returning from AZ...

So colleges around the country are going to be vetting student applications for Federal, state and local china virus compliance? Or just California colleges vetting California youth soccer players attending surf tournament? Sure seems like a fair balanced approach huh? What does a group of individuals on here, some with no kids involved in soccer continue to try and micro manage every aspect of this tournament with the gleeful hope of seeing the tournament canceled? You will be completely safe inside your bubble. Let adults make THEIR OWN adult decisions regarding their kids sports activities.

My dd wants to stay and play in California dream weather school Dre and you are sounding very wise more and more. My dd spoke to one awesome coach and they are focused on seeing who wants to come back for extra year and what 2021 have changed their minds. 2022s have some time but I agree, the best of the best are signed. I have my sights on big time Socal HS Soccer where some of these top coaches will get their first look at who has stayed in shape and who is battle tested. End of Feb the HS season begins. It's not just fun, it's all about the "Road to Ford Focus CIF Finals." Live on Cox Sports West in June 2021!!!
