The only players that I know personally with waivers are not rich. The waivers protect their needs-based high school scholarships. Not all DA clubs will allow it though.
How is it breaking a rule if private schools can give out waivers? It’s not a public school they are attending. Confused here. Trust me I don’t believe that only players from private schools should get waivers, not right! But again don’t see them doing anything wrong here if the rules are only giving “private school students” waivers.Parents are well aware of bending the rules and they should set a better example for their own kids. If they want to play both don’t play DA and don’t try to go around the rules for their own benefit (the parents) and then blame someone else for being exposed. Sacrifices are made all the time. Explaining it to your kid and letting them know they have to make a choice DA/no high school or another league/and play high school is a great way to have a conversation with your kid and give them control of their own soccer path and decision making instead of bending rules to have your “cake and eat it too”.
Yes, good rule. @Mic Nificent no harm no foul. When I got here to the fabulous forum in 2013 dads were saying all sorts of things about my #7 back then.my experience is the opposite with those I know, mostly rich families have the waivers. I’d guess it’s a combination of the two, if the coach can work the system and the kid helps them win it will be done....
But honestly i am uncomfortable with kids getting named in this, please everyone respect those U18 when it comes to negative postings......
Understood. Moving forward I will respect and honor the request to not name names. Sorry to kids named and their families.Yes, good rule. @Mic Nificent no harm no foul. When I got here to the fabulous forum in 2013 dads were saying all sorts of things about my #7 back then.
When my dd got back from NC from first DA showcase almost 2 years ago, it was one of those big girl talks about HS Soccer and that everyone at the DA said ZERO HS Soccer. No one talking waivers yet when first announced btw. So we sat down and I said, "you can't eat your cake and have ice cream too. You must pick cake (DA) or ice cream (hs soccer), you can't have both honey." It was painful to watch her go through that pain knowing what it meant if she chose ice cream over cake and you can't have both. She went with Mint Chip, her favorite. She was sad because who doesn't like a little chocolate cake with ice cream? All was good until we saw other kids (parents fault btw, leave the kids out of this) get both cake and ice cream. We again had to sit down and talk about how some get what they want because they have access to all the cake & ice cream they want and they get both always and that is how life sometimes works. My hope is to find away before my dd graduates HS that she can have is much cake and ice cream as the next playa!!!Parents are well aware of bending the rules and they should set a better example for their own kids.

Just keep those teams in the same league and at D1 for CIF playoffs. I think it's awesome kids can get a free private school education or 50% off deal through sports. Laguna will always be ready to take on Goliath anytime, anywhere as long as it;s not a league game or CIF Playoffs.Similar situation at J Serra. While not the “da” team, a big majority of the ecnl team is playing in high school with their ecnl coach.
Zero info? I have experience and insight unlike many so I can surly help parents out. I experience the Surf shit first hand and saw families stressed out looking for a team because no ECNL which was sold to the parents and then they got sold DPL as I did by the new Doc so my little goat could play HS Soccer. However, Coach Chavez gets to do both and so do his players. If coach Chavez took the DPL Directorship then I think I would be ok with that. This is so wrong I can puke on xmas night. Wow, what a xmas surprise.
Not true at allIs it true that SoCal was going ECNL or was that just a rumor to keep the older goats who wanted HS Soccer to leave for ECNL and then pull the DPL card out and make the high school players DPs except for coach Chavez and his squad?
Who was selling ECNL? Because I was a manager at SCA, and was still manager when we became LA Surf, and then finally with the LA Premier merger. And I can tell you 1st hand from our manager meetings, no one in there was trying to sell ECNL. What we were told in those meetings pre LAPFC was that LA Surf was going to apply to both ECNL and DA, and they would likely go with whoever said yes 1st. Coach Chav wanted ECNL, but then with the LAPFC merger, they got instant DA/DPL. But I've never heard anyone at our San Marino Chapter of Surf try to sell DPL as a ECNL substitute.
Not true at all
just heard an interesting story about this. i heard la premier had plans to join Surf for some time now. Surf had some reservations because la premier teams especially in the younger ages have not been very successful and prospects were slim. their had been rumors about financial troubles at socal academy so they approached Chavez about joining la premier and starting la surf. he did not think his parents would follow knowing la premier was involved so they came of with a plan to have Chavez announce socal academy and other smaller clubs creating la surf first and once parents were committed then la premier would announce their plans to join. i just about fell of my chair when i heard this.
.....The real meetings were at the LAPFC side with Surf, SCA was a pawn in a much bigger game.
..... Estban Chavez got $ and DA waivers for his flintridge academy high school team as compensation for being owned by Barry.
..... #LAPFCproud
that’s the real press release - so are you saying another good solid coach sold out for the money and name? Who knows what the players will get out of any of this. Why are you #LAPFCproud when you are so happy to get rid of the name?

Having had 2 girls with 2 very different paths make it thru the SoCal landscape, it has been my experience that Coaches and/or DOC’s that promise or sell the most actually have the least to offer......Parents need to be informed and not suckered in by propaganda. As has been said many times on this forum, pick the coach that believes in your player, knows how to develop and train players, has solid college connections, and creates a healthy environment. It has always astounded me when fathers let grown men treat their daughters with disdain and manipulation. Teach your daughters to have a voice and be strong not to doubt themselves and their own assessment of someone
When RSL (Utah Royals- AZ) got DA they were also promoting their ECNL side. I remember 2 meetings, each a week apart.I don't know how long later it was but right before the cut off for the next year's season, BAMB!!!!!! No ECNL, new league called DPL. Now let's think about this. How long in the making was the DPL league?
