Quoted from: Tamarindo, March 27th, 2012 19:36 GMTSM and the Force will sort it out. His '92 team currently all play D1 college ball and most contribute significantly. As I remember, that team had a brutal merge as well and there was some fall out as well.
Once the dust settled and some were moved off the team, they went on to 5 state cup finals, 1 surf cup final, 2 West Regional finals and a national championship.
Hang in there De Anza, it will work out for you, especially if the parents are helpful versus disruptive.
I cannot see this happening with the remaining group. They attracted no one to their tryouts, and have not replaced the players that have left. At U17 age group with MVLA, Santa Rosa coming on board in ECNL..DEANZA will be in the bottom group!

DA is a good recruiter, not a developer of talent/teams. With MVLA as a viable ENCL option DA will not be able to improve.

Agreed - 92 DeAnza team was stacked with unbelievable talent. DeAnza will have a competitive team and still has a lot of talent. However, MVLA is stacked with talent and it is going to be tough to beat them, especially with DeAnza having several key players out with injuries.

Agree on both last posts. I don't think anyone will touch lightning at this age. They are just too talented. DA will still be a quality side and compete well I think as JGWI stated.

Force '92 did have talent, but with the rash of major injuries to three impact players, they did well due to a lot more than just recruiting. That group did "improve." I doubt any Nor Cal teams can achieve what they did by just showing up and playing on game day cause the recruiting was so good.
The U-16 Force will be in a good situation as SM has a speed dial full of college contacts, and just as importantly, credibility with those coaches. Force being an ECNL team, those players will receive exposure regardless of what flight they are in.
Message to the Force families: It is not about winning trophies too much anymore. It is about player development and exposure to college recruiting and you are in a great situation for that.
As for people who post such personal stuff on this thread, I would warn this is a small community of players, parents and coaches. Be careful as to not disrupt your family's credibility in this community as it could possibly lead to a loss of opportunities for your DD, which would be really unfortunate.

Congratulations to Force U-16 with three big wins at the latest ECNL gathering at the Surf Cup polo fields. Maybe it was due to all of that "recruiting."
I know I will regret keeping this topic alive, so sorry in advance.

When teams are losing it's all about player development. When teams begin winning (regardless of competition) focus shifts to winning -
Paradoxical... LMAO

Congrats on the wins but keep in mind 2 of those 3 teams had a combined ecnl record of 3-3-10. Beating McLean was a quality result without question. It's always about player development and winning right  Ok, maybe not! I've always said part of developing as a player especially at u16/17 ages is learning how to win. No college coach wants players who haven't been taught how to win
