Where is Andres Deza

Why you say that? They have Juan Porras who I've heard is better than Deza.
Trainer vs coach is a different discussion. Both are good but what separates Deza over anyone is how much big D1 coaches and YNT coaches trust his word. Also, you don’t think Deza will try to bring Juan with him? If he really has full control Of girls side at surf he will try to bring 1-2 of his guys with him. Human nature. Work with who you trust.
 
I definitely believe something is going on with AD. Just unclear what. I always believed FCB would not be enough for him, and ECNL is indeed the top league. I also noticed that the GAL website does not have him listed as a coach for any of the FCB teams. I also agree that there needs to be a higher soccer IQ taught and he is one of the coaches capable of doing that. The EU countries women's teams are catching up and athleticism and size alone won't be enough IMO.
Your last statement is one I have suggested and discussed on here. Yet, poster responses are we are #1.
 
Wonder how the folks at FC Bay Area are feeling about this move?
Juan Porras is still there, right? If so, my guess is they are fine with it. My daughter worked with Juan and I would be fine with it. I remember moving to DeAnza and three coaches on the girls' side were Deza, Porras, and Fusco. When Fusco left, they brought in Mikey Varas.

Looks like he is bringing STAR academy with him as FCBA and STAR are partners in Development. I really only know about 7 coaches names and 5 of them are in the clubs my kids play for :)
 
There will be some serious culture shock for many Surf parents. To ease the pain, some words of wisdom:

1. Going forward, anticipate that no game will ever be played to win again, and game decisions will be based on long term development no matter how important you think the game is. Get used to playing out of the back no matter how bad they are at it, no matter how many times it results in turnovers, ridiculously easy goals and losses. They’ll either figure it out or will find out there is more to life than soccer. If the latter, hopefully it happened by age 12 instead of 15.

2. I dare you to get into a pissing match with him or bother him over things that your kid should be discussing with him directly. In fact, I strongly encourage you to throw your weight around and let him know how you know people and are the customer so he needs to listen to you. I also wish you the best at your kid’s next club.

3. Congrats if he believes your kid is a good fit for a particular college, your kid is probably 80% of their way to an offer as at least a recruited walk-on. Don’t be like @crush and f**k it up.

Okay Bozo. I don't know what makes you think Surf girls can't play out of the back.
 
So what’s going on with Star Academy? They only have a small number of teams playing in the return to play events and they don’t have a home field. They are playing all games away. What’s the point of keeping it as a separate club as opposed to folding it in to FC Bay Area?

I never said that none of them can, although I can also assure you that none of them can as well as if AD had started there years ago. Your kid plays on the U19 team, so it’s too late for him to help her anyway. I guess she’s stuck going where again?

UCLA or Cal Poly SLO. Bozo.

Star was dependent upon a HS field they used. They don't have much access due to so many HS sports going at once. They are basically screwed until that field comes online regularly for them. Rest of their coaches or most of the good ones left or are shopping. Star will be done in the near future I predict from what I know. No accident Juan went to FCBA. Too far away from each other to fold it into the club. Will be more Juan leaving and maybe some other good players who are willing to travel there.
