What's going on Cal South and State Cup Semi's?

This is my take on it. Since AS didn't have enough time to contested and have the due process, Cal South had to reinstate AS but not let the player in question play. This is bs.

Great post. Except it's all completely wrong.

A valid, embossed, stamped, original birth certificate was examined by the registrar prior to the season. A valid, embossed, stamped, original birth certificate was produced upon CalSouth request and examined by CalSouth. A second form of picture ID was produced confirming the 2006 birth date. School records were produced confirming the 2006 birth date.

CalSouth made the right decision here.

It's disheartening, but not surprising, to see anonymous forum posters so gleefully assume wrongdoing and a grand conspiracy. Questions remain, and they will get sorted. But it's clear that the club did everything right and nothing can change the fact a valid, embossed, stamped, original birth certificate was produced and examined by multiple individuals this week.

Do Surf affiliate fees get the affiliate clubs not just access to the Surf coaching curriculum but also access to parent organization resources like the general counsel's office and social media/public relations control?! Might be a bargain given what kids' soccer seems to be turning into!
 
Was thinking about attending with my daughter today, but instead we sat it out. Hope cooler heads prevail for the girls sake and nobody causes too much of a ruckus.
 
Good to see parents kept their heads Legends parents showed unbelievable class they should be proud. Hard fought loss. AS parents seemed very somber for a team advancing to the finals. Good to see most of this seems to be staying away from the kids.

There are questions surrounding this player. I don't know why there are other documents in the system for her showing a different birthdate. All I can tell you is that the club registrar saw a 2006 birth certificate and has a copy, there is a secondary form of ID that confirms this birthdate, and the records given to the club by the girl's school have her picture and the 2006 birthdate.

The club did the right thing. CalSouth did the right thing. This will get sorted eventually.

LOL, please!!! Lets be clear there were two alt ids with 2005 birth year prior to Anaheim Surf creating a third with a 2006 birth year. And your registrar never met or spoke to the girl or her parents. Parents submitted documents, AS calling school for verification is called covering your butt it does not verify it's the same girl. Now it's all on the parents? AS, BW, and Admin did not what to know!
 
People need to stop talking as I have read all the garbage spewing out of people mouths
people talk trash but have no clue what they are talking about
then again that is the world we live in...people talk without thinking about anything but themselves
Close your pie holes
Don't you have better things to do with your life other than to hurt people?

Can't get back the time i wasted reading this garbage

Dear Mr. Jacten: When you send your lawyer online and he admits there was a problem with the girls' multiple IDs, then you don't get to tell people to shut their pieholes. All indications so far suggest that your daughter's team played with an overage player. If that is true, then you should have opened your own piehole to do the right thing, and voluntarily forfeit, because that was the only honest way to proceed. Instead, it looks very much like you have enjoyed an illegal advantage allowing your team to advance to the later stages of State Cup.

What lesson has your daughter learned from you this week? Do cheaters prosper after all?
 
The damage is already done and Anaheim Surf's reputation is smeared. I was a referee on an older AS game this morning. The team manger for their opponent said to me and the other referee checking the team in, "Please carefully check in the Surf team. They just had a team caught using a player that was too old. I don't want them cheating against us." We did our normal check in with AS and did not repeat the accusations to AS. The last thing we wanted was parents and coaches pissed off on the sideline. The word is definitely out about the AS ineligible player and it is outside of the 2006 age group.
 
I really hope Anaheim Surf wins it all since 1.) will really shine spotlight on how Cal South dropped the ball big time in not standing up for the game's integrity and 2.) would be perfect Karma for parent club SD surf in, again, not standing up for the game's integrity.

Feel bad for Legends...kudos to them for playing with class.

Agree, but the tarnished brand doesn't just stop in Anaheim it extends all the way down south and to all Surf affiliates. Cal South didn't make an obviously horrendous and ignorant decision which ignores their rules without the mothership throwing their weight around. At minimum even the people sticking up for them can't dispute - A DUPLICATE PLAYER ID WAS CREATED among other things this they have NO INNOCENT EXPLANATION FOR.

Congratulations AS parents I'm shocked you either can't read or do not care about integrity in youth sports. I hope the finals appearance is worth the sacrifice of what your teaching your DD.
 
What happens if AS wins tomorrow? Do we presume that they will be permitted to play in the regional tournament? It's hard to imagine US Soccer Regional officials looking the other way. And hard to imagine that someone won't bring this to their attention immediately.

This age doesn't have regionals does it? Also no matter what happens eventually this will be worked out and I've yet to hear an answer to many questions that clears them. Baring some miracle of Cal South buying an explanation of BW's clairvoyance powers going on the fritz last summer when as my friend pointed out he decided which age group he'd put his team in I'd say we are headed for San Diego to get the asterisk title. Congrats!

They don't play regionals at U11. It starts at U12
