Montoya and Deza are pretty good at training! Paul Bravo is making a name for himself at Force/ Thorns.

My recollection from the old norcal forum is that your daughter was on the old Juventus 04/05 team, right? Out of curiosity, how many of those girls are still playing/playing at a high comp level? I remember that team (through club changes) being the strongest California 04/05 team during the early years, and am curious about changes in development as kids grow older (does a strong ulittle player translate into a strong player when older, same positions, etc.). It might make an interesting case study.
That Juventus 04/05 team was unreal.
Very good. Their top few I believe are Stanford commits but not sure on the rest. I'd imagine at least 4-5 off that team are committed somewhere.

Yes, you are correct, YIF. From the Juventus 04/05 based on my most recent knowledge known, this is what I know.
Top Team: 6 - Positions are pretty much the same. One was splitting time in goal and field but is full-time in the field now. One played primarily mid-field but now plays defense regularly.
2 Stanford commits, 1 UCLA, 1 LMU, and 2?
Top Club, 2nd Team: 1
Not playing: 4 - One left soon after Juventus and focused on softball. One stopped 2-3 years ago and is playing other sports (boxing?). One left about a year and a half ago while still getting time with the top team as well as older teams to focus on academics. I wouldn't be surprised to see her at Stanford based on academics and individual research.
Was the boxer a defender? My dd played 03/04 and I remember Jueventus from Nocal. I actually thought this was the top club before age change in Nocal, MOO

That is interesting.. the team seemed a couple years ahead of everyone else. You often hear that athletic, talented kids who excel early will slowly see the competition catch up with them, but I wondered if that was true. The Juventus team was so athletic and talented that they could be outliers, but it seems more often than not, early athleticism and talent translates fairly well as kids grow older.
What you see at 10 is not what you see at 17, let me tell you. If you have speed at 10, the hope and the long shot is you keep you're speed at 17. Also at 10, boys are not an issue yet for most girls. One Doc told me he had a player in the 90s that would have been the best of all time if it were not for her future husband coming around when she was 16. Love is hard to beat. The good news, i hear their still married with two kids and they both play club

Crush, Yes, Andres Deza’s first day on the Surf fields was today. I don’t have your experience with the man, but many of our senior people do and we feel that we got the right man to move Surf into the next level to support the changing women’s game. Our fields are a huge asset, but our Coaches are equally important to achieve our mission. I think we have up’d our game.
Congratulations Surfer dad. I think today is a good day for everyone on here to say sorry to me and my dd. This was a mid season switch o roo or some might say, "a club hop during the season." I got warned never, ever to leave mid season and if my dd did, we would be black listed. So in the honor of being fair, let's not speculate as to why the move during the season and let's just be happy for everyone involved. I'm still SMFH that people actually made fun of us. I look forward to some great battles next year in the 03/04 age. Next season is going to be amazing. This season, we should just chill and not have playoffs. The schedule is a joke and super unfair. Let's all get ready for Surf Cup in August and then kickoff the 2021/2022 SW Conference. This is the place to be
Better question is when Juventus joining I believe DeAnza to make up the 04/05 team, how many 04's are committed and did they have any 05's playing on this team besides your daughter? Or was this team mainly 04's?

I'm pretty sure my daughter was the only '05 and she is one of the commits I counted above. There are two others that are playing for top teams whose commitment status is unknown to me.

Surfer_dad...Have there been any club announcements on Deza joining Surf? Surf is a great club, but I tend to think AD is pretty well entrenched in NorCal and I wonder if he is actually going to lead NorCal Surf. That is what he was trying to do with Quakes by bringing in players from numerous clubs. Perhaps he is down South learning about his new parent organization.
I heard from a friend it's a done deal and it's Sunny San Diego. That's all I know besides all the other rumor mill on here and two other old soccer teammates I saw Saturday said it was a done deal as well. Look, if this is true ((my friend never lies to me btw)) then this will make SW ECNL the best. I will also say the GDA was trying to teach possession and less hacking. The girls need to learn to play "pass and go" and not "grab & attack."
