These college coaches are basically selling their name, not their services.

Oh shocker... more surf hate- lol

I don't hate surf. I'm just pointing out reality. Take Sue Ryan for example, they knew that she would only have very limited availability due to her USySA obligations but that didn't stop them from announcing her addition as if she was going to be there hands on every day.

They still don't have fields to call their own.

They still don't have any homegrown teams.

They still don't have access to the higher leagues.

They are spread all over the place instead of concentrating on one area.

And to mask all of that they keep adding meaningless names to the masthead.

Sorry. NY Surf sold themselves as the East Coast equivalent of SD Surf. Alluded to getting ECNL and GDA status.

When NY Surf can do this, then conversations can continue:

Hilarious. if you put more kids into a Club who have talent and ability. what comes out the other end will be the same thing. PDA are a VOLUME Club. They get players from a wide area. Good for them. What they DO with those players is not different really to what would happen if many of them stayed where they were.

So when you say do this- I applaud the kids , the Club is jsut taking credit for it.

Lots of people got duped during tryouts last year by that idiot who was coordinating at the time. Talk of GDA being a lock, then ECNL. Without any league or field, they're at least going a different route with the high end coaches and pathway to college.

These gals will be playing soccer in college. I lnkwbof one club who does a similar activity but not all of their players are playing college soccer. They just make it seem like they do they can claim soccer success. It's wuite the scam.

One would think the Surf players would have no problems finding a college spot given the litany of college coaches they employ.

I'd have to imagine that being able to practice with/against other high-quality/talented players helps a lot in player development. Where they came from may not give the players the opportunity to be in that kind of environment.

You assume that all these players have been "developed" to their full capacity simply becasue they are committed?

What impresses you, the quality of the schools ( for soccer) or the numbers? I reckon that if you took the percentage of kids with say top 100 talent on entry to a club and followed them , you would see that MOST Clubs get them committed to Top 100 schools.

if a kid goes to PDA who is already committed ( which happens) they what? DO you measure the Clubs impact some other way?


A single player can be part of creating that environment for a Club or they can run off to another. Most parents think the latter is better. Im not so sure. Depends on teh level you are looking to reach.

Bingo. Combined with a good trainer is what you should be seeking for a serious soccer player of any age.

Boy coaches should be helping the boys. If they have y developed the boy's side, then you are at the wrong club.

The point is that 99% of their 'college' coaches are devoted to and are coaching the girls teams. On the boys side of the equation they just have the father/son duo and a bunch of 'for hire' westchester coaches.

Think Surf held their tryouts to soon as I hear they are having issues getting people to commit to their 24 hour deadlines. Heard this from multiple people.

I'm not sure but I did hear that they are telling people that all their trainings and games are at Farmingdale College. This is not true at all. In fact very few will be at Farmingdale. It's a complete misrepresentation and flat out wrong!
