Will Silverlakes Survive?

It would be nice if they would just up the fees each team pays in advance, then just let the cars drive in. They would save a lot of money in pay for the parking attendants.

There you go, talking sense again!

Just add $300 to each team registration and make parking free (15 players x $10 parking fee x 2 days). Explain your added fees in the tournament instructions. Everyone gets into the complex quicker and you don't have to wait in a huge line to get back in if you head out for lunch. Without ticket takers at the gate, Silverlakes could employ more people to control traffic coming in and leaving the facility, making the experience better for everyone. Polo Fields and Oceanside should use the same model, it's a win/win for the parents, players and clubs.

Makes perfect sense to everyone. I'm often amazed at the lack of logistical efficiency when it comes to moving people in and out of places.

Nah that won't work with the kickback system thats in place for the home teams.

Home teams get a cut of the parking revenue which they use to reduce what they pay for field rentals.

Club sports has a bunch of interesting or creative financial arrangements so if convenience or logic is introduced expect to pay even more.

Girls teams would be fine with it. Boys teams would not. I've seen pretty much a full team of boys pile out of an extended van for $10 total.

Outside clubs hosting tournaments don't get any part of the ticket revenue at the Polo Fields or Oceanside, Surf Cup Sports keeps that all to themselves. And clubs should not complain as every summer weekend is booked out for the next 3 years. Silverlakes might have a different arrangement, not sure there.

Hopefully they can adjust the bond payments and structure. The site has to be a big money maker for that community on weekends, the tax revenue just from local restaurants has to be significant. US soccer should also hop in and provide bond backing if necessary, as this is an important regional site for US soccer development.

Yeah, uh, Scramblers is a nice place to grab breakfast and all but it isn't exactly raking in the dough for Norco. Pretty sure the prison juices their economy more than Silverlakes does.
 
SoCal Flight 1 is the top level of competition. Within Flight 1 there are multiple options:

  • Europa: These are flight 1 teams that want to play within their geographic area. They have minimal travel but they participate in SOCAL State Cup and can play in the College Showcase events.
  • Champions: This division has promotion/relegation with the Discovery NPL. They play home/away and can play outside of their geographic area since they are vying for promotion into Discovery NPL. Teams participate in SOCAL State Cup and the College Showcase events.
  • Discovery NPL: These teams play their games at one venue based on which NPL area they are in. There is a North Division that plays at Silverlakes and a South Division that plays in Oceanside. They all participate in SOCAL State Cup and they have one College Showcase included in their season with an optional second showcase.

So for those playing in the SoCal Discovery NPL they have to pay for parking for each game?

According to the website all North Division teams play at Silverlakes... $$$ and all South Division teams play at Oceanside...$$$.
 
Question. Did they always have church services on Sundays? I had not been to SL for a while until this past weekend. There was Cerritos Memorial, A Fair Food Foodie Festival, and church services on Sunday. Luckily on the soccer side, it didn't seem like it was at capacity like at previous tournaments hosted there.
