Thanks. I see no mention on the website about kickarounds. So the clubs are not doing them this year? That's a bad decision because all of the tryouts are the exact same time as usual so there is no way to get a feel for options now.

I beleive it is against RCL rules to have kickarounds....if clubs could have kickarounds they would....its seems stupid to me....every clube should have kickarounds....

I just happen to get lucky and hit this forum to find out that the G'00's are training on Tuesday...I have a daughter at that age although probably not good enough to play on the "A" team it's nice to know VUSA has 4 teams there....I hope there's a place for my daughter....we need a change from last year...FCSC drama burnt my daughter out.

Kickarounds are OK for U10 and U11 this week. They are finished with State Cup.

VU G01's are having a "training" session Wednesday at 5pm on the field south of Hudson Bay High School (south side of Mill Plain). Were about 50 girls there last week. Tryouts start Friday night 5-6:30 at Harmony Complex. Saturday/Sunday 12-1:30 at McKenzie.

WOW....

jsut thinking about those three age groups... the coaching is phenominal...

Steve Studley and Jeremy Tyger for the '01's with the best talent in the area.
Doug Wolvert and Steve Bowmer for th '00's - not all of the best talent but amazing coaches that do well with what they have - definetly development based group.
Peter Pickett '99's - this team is fun to watch - a very smart coach that has the girls playing the game right.

Keep an eye out for this group...it's rare to see three solid years in a row...

What drama at FCSC? You must be talking about the wrong club. : )
With the merger taking place next year, might be best to switch over to VUSA now. Not a VUSA lover--just know what you can expect with SC.

Vancouver Timbers on Fire!

Vancouver Timbers just inked a deal with Director's Mortgage for $250,000!!!!!!!!!!

This should be a great shot in the arm for the newly merged 4000+ player club.

Vancouver Tmbers have also announced that they will not raise players fees. Fees will remain at $939/year.

The $250,000 is a field sponsorship that will be used towards building new turf fields.
Now if we can only get them to close the deal at Delta Park the club would be set. Personally I think three new turf fields isn't enough so Delta is a great option for the Advanced Comp side.

If this is true, that is incredible. Do we have enough money to break ground this summer? They said they wanted 80% of the total before starting the project. And don't forget there are some nice turf fields that WSA has access to. But if Delta Park goes through, the club will have access to numerous turf fields spanning from Washougal to Delta Park.

$939 for super rec soccer. Wow.

Ha! Ha!... the fear in your post comes screaming thru loud and clear....But you'll get used to it. You'll find the Vancouver Timbers teams and parents quite pleasant to be around. They'll even congratulate your team for a great effort after they pound them in to the ground... but I'm sure the OPL teams backroom discussions to force the dominant Timbers teams to start in low level OPL divisions will keep them playing RCL for at least another year.... whew... that was close!.....

What's "RCL" stand for? "Real Champions League"? :)

How is it looking for tryout numbers? Any early guesses? I saw some WSA boys at a Pacific tryout.

So did I. I think some are seeing if they have what it takes to make the "A" team in the area.

VUSA is having huge numbers, especially at the lower ages. Probably looking at 3-5 teams at U10 again in both ages.

I have not seen any drop off at Pacifiic, looks like they will increase numbers across the board. Not wild increases but no drop off.

Have not seen any SC stuff--just not on any of my kids radar, as they really do not have any kind of a boys program over there.

Good luck at try-outs tonight for the little ones.

Numbers at VUSA GU13 last night were nominal about 20. Guess the B team didn't live up to the $1000+ bill that was invested. Most of those kids went to see what pacific had for a 1/3 of the cost.
