Because another thing that Eagles has in their contract (the initial one parents signed, not the new one) says that "all communications with CYSA, ECNL, US Soccer or Coast Soccer League is reserved to club management. " Not that they follow their own rules, but they expect parents to.

I would never advise a client to sign contract language like this:
"The President or Executive Director may on a rare occasion make decisions during the course of the season that might affect POLICY or PAYMENT not addressed in this contract. If such a decision is made it will be communicated to the membership and considered BINDING."
Rephrased:
"I hereby grant the Eagles Soccer Club three wishes, the two wishes specifically enumerated above, plus a third wish, which the Eagles Soccer Club may hereafter use to grant itself an unlimited number of future wishes."

We'll just have to see how many Eagles players will be suspended tomorrow
Soccer mafia at work overtime. From youth clubs, US Soccer, MLS, and the NWSL all are the same. MLS teams are not individually run teams but rather franchises controlled by one single entity the MLS which is overseen by US Soccer, same with the NWSL. And now the same with DA. All teams controlled through one monolithic organization. Adopt to our rules, do as your told, play our playing style or you are deemed an outcast. If you want to see some really horrible documents take a deep dive into those NWSL player contracts. The system is created to control and manipulate its consumer from the top down. This is why this document is allowed to have been written and why it’s acceptable.
Who cares. Send the contract. Let US SOCCER decide the ethics of this charade.

Post of the day.
Not to defend this contract, if you can call it that, but doesn't DA have a rule that a club must put its best players on the DA team? I know that several dds especially ones that are already committed stayed in ECNL but I do think this might be the only legit part of the document.

Last year during Eagles DA tryouts the club was requiring a 500$ deposit prior to tryouts. My understanding was that a player had to accept the team that was offered to the player otherwise the family would forfeit the 500$. I couldn't believe more people weren't vocal about that. Between these shenanigans and the Vince Thomas accusations, I think we got out of there just in time.
If this is true how come no one posted about it sooner? Too embarrassed to admit they paid the money?

One thing parents have yet to figure out is that if they bond together, they are more powerful than the club. If all the parents on one, some, most or all of the teams bond together and refuse, the Club will make concessions. Bank on it.
Also, call your city council members and put heat on the club/board. Tell them to open the fields up to competing clubs, etc.
Let the council know you vote and let the club know you vote with your wallet.
Once again, we see just how difficult reform in this country will be. Nothing will change. DA is toxic.

Eagles are in full damage control right Now :
1.) The Vince Thomas situation could cripple the club if the board was made aware of the situation.
2.) Potentially losing their club exclusive to PV fields (55 Acres) and having to share with MSA, another small club in the area.
3.) MSA's founder is now the Girls Varsity coach at Camarillo high school along with his sister coaching JV.

Everyone should refuse to sign it! Then what would the Club do? Suspend everyone?

Plot twist :
Robert "Buddy" Kelley is not only a district board member, he's the Chairman. This means direct ties to the city council.

Talk about conflict of interest. This is the only reason the club can maintain having a Monopoly on playing fields.
Eagles only use 4 of the 23 fields at the PV complex.

and AYSO the rest? So Eagles has a monopoly on the available fields, considering that AYSO will get preference for the majority of the fields. To say they "only" have 4 fields is not a fair statement.

in CSL, about 1/2 the size, throw in some bad DA/DPL teams and maybe 40% of the size.
