And if enough kids come to tryouts they will make sure to add more teams so no one gets cut. No cut soccer plus 25% start in some leagues so everyone can find their spot on a team. We should all be happy like Surf, soccer.com, Nike, private trainers, speed trainers, shooting specialist, restaurants, rent a car service, United Airlines and gas stations because more & more parents are spending $2300-$4100 for 10 months of soccer and are willing to travel land & sea to play other leagues with no cut soccer and everyone plays. Tryouts are so lame now. They mean nothing today.

Fees for olders will be min $3650. This is at min a $500 hike to cover all the new “free” uniforms, Pay for coaches gear, new canopies marketing gear (canopies, flags, balls, etc) and admin trips to Liverpool - have to take photos to send out to parents who really believe they are part of the real Liverpool academy. All premier teams always have been required to by “special” gear and all players throughout the club have to pay for new bags, sweatshirts, etc as they are mandatory to buy. They go after every dollar they can squeeze out. Next month they will probably start to push some super new special training they got specially from Liverpool. Next step in the brainwashing of those who don’t know any better. Some folks are will probably even read them the board and pony up the $4K because they have an “extra” day of training and offered super “premier” level team status. That extra day of training will just be the Coerver skill days rebranded as something new - I’m sure the coaches who were doing the Coerver Skills Training (believe guys from Galaxy West) are going to have a happy new year when they figure they won’t be doing anymore of the training.
 
The shitty part is clubs people aren’t speaking up and telling clubs I’m paying in March or April when my actual fees are up. The initial payment is usually most or all what the club keeps per kid. So if the kid leaves they truly have free money. That is pet of the current system that needs to be regulated. No money should be allowed to be collected until the start of the new training season cycle.

Javiecua03, I’m a little confused. You said they kicked your son off the team last week, but they lost 4/5 games after he left? Did they play a tournament. Also, did you tell the coaches you weren’t coming back before you stated that on the forum?

Just trying to understand the sequence. Coaches will almost always punish the player after parents tell them they won’t be back the next year. Sounds like in your case, another parent may have read your comment and told the coach.

Either way, good chance to move on and start training with a new club and maybe join for state cup.

Apologize what I meant was my son was removed prior to 6 games left of scdl season. Nope never mention to them we weren’t coming back but the way things were coming along, that’s the way we were heading unless they made major changes to the group a lot parent didn’t speak up about that but only couple. Definitely someone from the club saw and reported to club most sure of it. Yeah it’s a good thing am in contact with a lot coaches from the southbay area and a lot of the coaches from Oc area have see my son play to want him for state cup. I kept him active guest playing with couple teams and definitely want him to play state cup he’s been looking forward to that.

Do u know if “premier” means they play in NPL West?
 
Anyone know what Liverpool’s plans are for their top kids? NPL? SCDSL? Just a couple months ago, they said they’d apply for DA. With DA no longer, I thought they’d join the other big clubs and switch to ECNL. But I don’t see them with ECNL either. I can’t imagine they’d join the new MLS league since they’re not affiliated. Maybe join the new pre-Premier League ?
 
I think they are the club that is in the biggest trouble with all of this. They invested quite a bit in positioning themselves for DA acceptance. And I can’t imagine their branding switch from Galaxy to liverpool was a cheap one.

I think they have good shot to apply for ""new DA" now since all local DA clubs jumped the ship to ECNL.
Their other option would be to apply for ECRL for both boys and girls.
On a side note, I'm not affiliated with them, I'm just a real LFC supporter.

I love Liverpool. When my dd was all into soccer I watched that espn show, "living liverpool." Cool history and they love their soccer. I wish we had something like that.
 
Someone mentioned “NPL WEST”. The “ NPL WEST” for youngers, does not exist anymore. It will now be called ECNL juniors. FC Golden state, Pats, Strikers, Surf, Real so Cal, and Arsenal will be part of the new ECNL juniors leagues for u12, since ECNL starts at u13 for boys. I don’t know what the MLS academies are doing with the teams that did compete in then NPL WEST last year the 09s and 08s.
