From a trusted source and Surf advocate. I haven't seen a list (haven't really looked). At this point, I think that number really doesn't mean anything. Sounds like Surf isn't able to secure fields, which makes sense based on footprint required and the low level of interest from other cities in the valley.

You can call it whatever you want or conclude what you want from it. I don't know how many teams have pulled out, I was told how many teams have pulled out. Doesn't really matter, teams are pulling out left and right.
Wow, you have some serious problems with the synapses. No, I never said only those who play for Baker are good or have high self esteem. But you certainly won’t be there long if you don’t.
And clearly the days of Baker type coaches are not over, given that he seems to be doing jist fine thank you very much. And comparing him to Bobby Knight is more than a little unfair. I’ve never seen Baker throw a chair onto a field, choke or hit someone, go off on racist rants, assault a police officer, shove his own feces into the faces of players. You know, actual abuse.
Coming from the guy who also thinks only 14 people have died from the reason 400 teams have backed out.
It's happening in Maryland. Do I agree, nope, is it happening, yep. Are they complaining? Nope. Are they playing? Yep.

Since Day 1 my daughter has said she will wear a mask if it means she can play.

when?
Please show me where i misquoted you or claimed you said something you did not say??? My question to you is “if” you would qualify throwing a clipboard at a player as abuse. Never said you threw it, actually Baker did.
I have my reasons that extend beyond this forum.....lines where crossed.
I actually liked the Baker way. All my coaches demanded excellence and hard work. If you slacked off, you got called out. My dd can use a little of that style. I saw what he produced right before my very eyes and ears for two years....lol! He also produces winners and recruits the players your talking about. My dd was not a good match for him, trust me. I would pay money to see him try to yell my dd though...lol
You continue to miss the point. All you do is bring negativity here. Your opinions are clear. You do not think it should happen. We get it. A decision has been made that they are having it. Unless they change their minds it is on at this point.
I am going to do myself a favor and hit the ignore button on your URL so I do not have to read your negativity and attempts to post as facts things that are actually just rumors.
All I’ve said is coaches like Baker and Deza have clout with college coaches and all they need to do is pick up a phone and your kid is pretty much there unless they screw it up. That’s a fact. It just is. I didn’t say I think Baker’s a good coach. I didn’t even say I agree with his, er, style. I never even recommended him. I never said he’s a nice guy, and I never even said he hasn’t crossed the line, although I did thoroughly enjoy pushing your and others’ buttons about what does and doesn’t constitute abuse.
In response to what isn’t even the least bit controversial even if you disagree with it, I’ve got people claiming I said he is the only person in SoCal with that power and am a liar, that I told them that their daughter sucked because they played for someone else, that I hate small clubs, that I support people who throw things at people, that I support kids training 7 days a week until they break their knees, etc. It’s this kind of crazy that I love most about this place. Real cray cray.
I will apologize for saying you misquoted me because I mistook you for @SoccerFan4Life. Kinda similar names. My mistake. I am sorry.
You continue to miss the point. All you do is bring negativity here. Your opinions are clear. You think it should happen. We get it. A decision has been made that 400 teams have dropped out because it is the wise, safe and thoughtful thing to do. Unless they change their minds they aren’t coming at this point.
I am not going to do myself a favor and hit the ignore button on your URL because, unlike you, I’m not a snowflake.
I agree with you. I came here because of the obvious crazy folks on here. I was hooked the day I first arrive. Some dad making fun of my baby girl for crying and winning all the time and scoring I might add....lol! The taste of victory is sweet to the soul. I love that you said sorry as well. I had two top coaches ((all about the right coach, that's for sure)) tell me they could pick up the phone right now and if they say this is a can;t miss, then they go for it. That was 8th grade and I said no thanks, too young and were here for pro anyways.
The irony in this post is rich. I imagine you'll eventually read my response. Of course it's on until they decide it's not on. It's ok to support something and then re-assess conditions. Doesn't make you negative, it makes you an adult, with a brain that thinks critically.
Kinda like sitting next to a fire, when it becomes too hot, you make the decision to move. Good idea at first, not so much later. I mean, come one, what a silly take this is --> Surf is gonna happen until Surf isn't gonna happen?

Any given team can only play 3-4 games. So it doesn't matter how many bug out we only need 3-4 teams per division and they can all be friendlies for all i care. "Let my people go.....play"

I believe most did due to the possibility of HS soccer. Most girls are far more interested in playing for their HS vs Surf.
When HS was off...our club was in. When HS was on (or might be) our club pulled.
We start up end of Feb. I'm praying the gods of soccer allow the girls to play HS Soccer in Socal. That would be super cool and free
Thanks, I didn't want to speak on their behalf. Let's hope HS begins when they say it's going to begin and a somewhat meaningful season is played.
Exactly, these clown sheep dont anything about Surf cup tournament as far as how many teams committed and how many chose not to play. That tournament attracts teams from around the country also where their youth sports were never paused for the China virus. What an exceptional life they must live inside their bubbles with nothing better to do then talking trash about another clubs tournament 24/7.
Let them kids play Surf...
