Sharks ECNL

Does Sharks have to report to a probation officer every month? Do they have to show the PO certain improvements? This is not competitive soccer but more like bullies.

Not sure what the point is here... are you suggesting that somehow the Sharks are being put under too much scrutiny?
 
Seems like Rebels are in a worse position than Sharks in SD. Del Mar will put good quality teams together this year which will be much more competitive than in the past. The 07-10 Shark teams will be in the top half of their respective tables. Rebels on the other hand, not so much. There isn't another viable San Diego option to replace Del Mar. Doesn't seem to be another club that isn't bleeding talent, coaches and directors weekly in SD.
Would poaching Albion SD fill the void of a Sharks removal?
 
First post…long time lurker.
I can only speak for the 2008 in relative detail but it’ll be hard to knock the top teams off the top.

i.e.Koge/Blues/Surf/Eagles/Legends

These teams seem to have enough draw to keep them relatively stacked even with long benches.

Beach/Slammers/Arsenal/Sharks kinda hang out in that middle area…and it’ll probably stay that way unless drastic roster changes happen.

I’m excited to see this coming season either way. Surf Cup should be fun with a nice mix of GA vs ECNL teams.

My guess is ECNL just wants to see progress from the club. Probably don't have to win a National Championship but just field competitive teams. Surprised to read KW departed this close to the new season, was this planned ahead of time?
 
Nobody really hates Sharks + everyone wants to see them succeed.

What current parents + players dont understand is that issues arent at the MW level.
Okay, I'll throw the question out into the discussion. What do you see as the issues and what level are they at?
 
What kind of weight, if any, do the other ECNL clubs in the area have on the pressure / ultimatum being put on Sharks?

It would seem that Sharks is taking some "steps" in the right direction but if they've been put on notice, not sure they'll be able to turn it around that quickly with expectations that may be unrealistic.

With Strikers getting ousted I'm surprised Arsenal didn't follow or is next up, their youngers have showed some promise with the addition of the coaching staff from Pats over the last couple of years, but even when they were the only game in town prior to Legends they struggled to show the results you'd expect from a club that had a "monopoly" on the player pool in the Inland Empire.

Not that I expect ECNL to be clear with their intentions, or anything in club soccer for that matter, but would great to see some basic bullet points in terms of how they measure success, are we talking Promotion / Relegation criteria based on overall club points, or what else are they factoring in?

Arsenal program is falling apart on the girls side… nearly 50 players have left their girls NL/RL program since March and counting…

Strikers didnt have boys ECNL, that was an easy boot. Sharks most likely to have longer rope with ECNL on both boys and girls.
Hearing all Sharks teams have made improvements. The move to make Barton head of soccer was made more to unify the program and have MW and Barton work more together. It also was to remove SM from the day to day

The WB promotion is still a headscratcher for me. Yeah, they guy has a recognizable name, but the results on the boys side don't exactly scream being worthy of a promotion...

Been off this site for a bit and I can't believe this thread still has life. I can't remember so much being written about a club that has been so irrelevant. Let's end this time-wasting topic as follows:

Sharks have significantly underperformed. They may get better. They may not. They won't contend for 1st place in the ECNL SoCal divisions. Homer parents hope they will and like to post here...a lot. Done.

And that's exactly what is so exciting. There is so much talk about Sharks. That's nothing but a good thing. A club that use to be irrelevant that no one cared about has now become the #1 topic of conversation in regards to socal girls soccer. Lots of excitement..also lots of haters. looks like the 'irrelevant' club is now 'relevant'. And MW didn't poach anyone from Albion... They left. If anything so many girls coming so quickly was a bit of a surprise and no one thought it would happen so quickly.
 
Question is, that i totally dont know, is why is everyone leaving arsenal? Is it coaching/club?
I blame the DOC. It starts at the top and from what I’ve been told by the parents leaving from multiple age groups is that it’s due to the DOCs decisions and individual involvement which has them running for the hills. The arrogance and mismanagement of players, parents and staff is unlike something I’ve ever seen.

Well, I saw some things that would make you feel sick to your stomach and so wrong for young girls to witness. Clean ups are going on everywhere. It always starts at the top.

okay Homer...Shark parents like yourself continuously posting here to make it "the #1 topic in SoCal girls soccer" does not make the club relevant. Just be content and secure with your choice of club personally. You don't need affirmation from random readers and posters here. And, for the record, I hope the club can improve its lopsided goal differentials. It's better for the league as a whole. But that doesn't mean we need to hear about every W each week or read predictions about how great the club is going to be. "Where there is humility, there is more success."
