Heard the same which makes sense because of Deza. What's most interesting is SJ surf and BBA who now folded into FCBA were HUGE rivals on the boys side. Very curious if that stays separate or if they all fold into FCBA Surf. Would be quality club potentially but interesting nonetheless. Feel like Surf is like Oprah giving away gifts(minus paying us thousands of dollars to wear our gear that you actually pay for)
you all get a Surf. Kool aid must taste good.
My daughter is a keeper as well and we played in SoCal before moving to Texas. We heard about this incident and it shocked me. Now I'm even more shocked to see how it was ultimately handled. I get horror stories from my daughter whose coach thinks its a fantastic drill to have teammates takes successive shots at her from 10 feet away. Lots of jammed fingers and bruises, no broken bones though. How's your DD doing now?
DD is physically fine, fully healed. Like her father she holds a grudge - the passage of time will not erase the memory, and we will be angry about this forever.
Impressive if that many ego's worked well together
JK. There is a connection between who runs LFC and FCBA/SJ Surf so it's not impossible If they really want to attempt to put a dent into De Anza's club. Probably the only way to have a chance to merge like that.I know the feeling of being angry forever. I also know what it's like to hold grudges. I would also hope coaches stop lying to the kids and their paying customers, the parent(s). I'm sorry to hear about the pain you have. I guess the truth is, we all have pain from youth soccer.
So many rapid fire drills, geared towards the "field player" that put the keeper at a disadvantage. I particularly despise when they're run right before kickoff of a game, you never want your keeper to start a game on the wrong foot and take a beating physically or mentally of getting blasted and letting in so many goals in during warm up.
Update: Bay area surf is a merger of fc bay area, star, lfc, bba, sj and monterey surf.
Big deal for the boys. Less of a big deal for the girls. The real question is, are they getting girls ECNL? If so, tryouts is going to really fun in the South Bay.

Rumor is Oprah will be the new face of Surf. Need to match how many gifts that are given out each year
As they say...that's a whole lot of cooks in the kitchenIt's certainly a bigger move for the boys side no question. However, if this gets ECNL status which everything I hear is happening, that alone is worth it. I'd be worried if I was De Anza....MVLA is still the crown jewel in the South Bay on the girls side.
Agree. EQ, with Deza and the DA, did not have an impact on MVLA. De Anza has many other issues, so they should be worried. Their coach turnover rate has to be the highest in the area. Something is up in that club and their players are looking elsewhere, especially on the girls side. ECNL status has definitely not helped them, just look at the scores for all age groups for the ECNL games the last 2 weekends, especially against MVLA.
We have only been with Force on the girls side for a couple of years, but I thought the top coaches have been there for a while at least on the girls side. They looked like they did in DA, not quite able to beat the top team but played them well and close (except 2 of 6 age groups) and then won against a lower tier club like Pleasanton. I think the 05 age group has been the one that has surprised some people with the play and results. I never know or pay attention to player movement as that seems to happen everywhere except MVLA and Deza top girls (although they just move clubs together).
