Repost as there has been a slight change to the 49er United (Auburn) tryout schedule.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
49er United Soccer Club located in Auburn will hold competitive tryouts for the U12-U14 age groups on Saturday February 23rd, Sunday 24th, and Tuesday 26th.
Tryout registration is located on the 49U website at: http://49erunitedsoccer.com/
49er United is the competitive club for the 49er Youth Soccer league and is affiliated with Norcal, US Club Soccer and CYSA/CCSL. We are a “player first” club with a commitment to develop players, support a love for the sport of soccer, and promote the positive aspects of youth sports throughout our member communities. We have teams from U9-U19, and compete against other clubs in District 6 mostly the greater Sacramento Area. Our teams include multiple district six “Cup” champions, an association cup champion and a Red Premier semi-finalist (Norcal).
49U Sierra Blitz u14g
49U Sierra Blitz (will be) u14g is especially interested in bringing in talented players from the surrounding soccer community. We are a Gold rated two time District Six Cup Champion (2010, 2011), Association Cup Champion – top select team in Northern CA (2011) and just finished our first year in Norcal competition with a semi-finalist finish in the Norcal State Cup Red Premier 1 group of play (4th bracket). Our Norcal record this year was 15W-5L-1T (48GF, 11GA) against 5 Premier teams, 8 Gold and 4 Silver teams.
Our team is guided by experienced coaches and trained by some of the best trainers around. We strive to keep costs affordable (< $800 a season) so no gifted young player is denied the opportunity to play soccer at a higher level of play.
Check us out at http://www.sierrablitz.com
u14g tryout times are Saturday (2/23) and Sunday (2/24) 2:30pm-4:30pm and Tuesday (2/26) 5:30-7:30pm at Railhead field A3 Auburn CA.

We saw a number of PU jerseys at Blues tryouts this year. There are obviously issues there and, with the current litigation against the Thompson family, I'd say there are more than a few parents tired of the drama and seeing their money go towards attorney's fees. For crying out loud... it's youth soccer. When did that get blurry for the BOD?
I'm also curious to know why PU hasn't updated its coaching list. Jeff Alcala is at Blues... yet he's still listed on PU. Is he doing both? What about the Chaidez family? Did they not both take positions in Santa Rosa months ago... yet both are still listed as coaches? Why? Those are just the ones I know about.
To say San Juan, Davis and Placer offer the best opportunities is something of a misnomer. This ain't your father's Placer United. I'm sure there are wonderful coaches still there. However, many jumped ship this summer, so it's equally irresponsible of you to put PU in that same class. Like Blues, too many unknowns at this point.

It needs to be about soccer.

When you finish in the top 10 of the State Cup, you will not have any problem with attendance at your tryouts. You will experience an overwhelming amount of families attending for a chance to get on the team, most with good intentions, some who just want to chase a dream of having their kid on the best team.
You are the top #5 team based on Norcal State Cup. USA Stars currently are not a Norcal team and rumor is one large club threatened to pull out of Norcal if they were admitted. Davis and Elk Grove finished in the State #2 division. Loomis didn't play in the Norcal Fall league (CYSA CCSL?)
We will never know who the true top regional team is until we all play in 1 unified league.
Well, with Gregg Thompson coaching U12 right next door at Cal Blues, I don't think any one team can count on a monopoly of the great U12 girls in Placer County. Luckily, there seems to be a lot of talent to go around.
It's nice to see that others have responded to the naive statement regarding who is the "top team" in the Sacramento Region. As others have said, there are many talented teams in Division 6. If I were to list the "top teams" in the upcoming U12g season, it would probably look like this:
1. USA Stars (Great team, talented kids, great coach. If only they had a league to call home.)
2. Elk Grove Navy (great style of play, well coached, good program)
3. San Juan Jr. ECNL (I think the new name will draw some quality, undecided players this year. Downside, going to be a brutal try out process. Lots of competition and probably some politics.)
4. Davis (Good, solid players. Great club system. Need forwards badly.)
5. GT's Team (Should be the 1st choice for those in Placer or nearby. Should get some very good players. Downside, it's all new.)
6. Placer Red (Coach is a very good trainer, but an average coach. Should get some good players this year. At least they will develop.)
7. Loomis Storm (Many athletic kids, very dedicated and enthusiastic coaches and parents. Downside, added two more trainers/coaches this year. I think that brings the total up to 5. Not good.)
8. Sac United (good coaches, need some forwards)
9. Boca Silver (good physical team.)
10. Any "B" Team (Harder to develop when playing a "B" schedule.)
Just my opinion. Davis, EG, and San Juan all very close.
Agree that SJ will be improved

No doubt issues persist, but Placer will move on as will Blues. In terms of next years PU U14 girls team, I doubt the core will move anywhere and I'm sure new talent will surface.
That said, as is the case every year, movement will be in and out of teams for a variety of reasons.

I have no facts to support this, but I've heard Norcal may not allow Gregg Thompson's Blues team to play in Norcal this season as they would be considered a "new team" with an unestablished record and therefore not necessarily qualified to play at the highest level.
Does anyone know if this is true? Has Norcal done this sort of thing in the past to other teams/coaches that change clubs, etc.?
Just wondering as it may effect the desireability of joining that club if they can't play in certain leagues.
Thanks to anyone who knows more than I do.

CalBlues did have a team in that age group last year. They just have a new coach this year (GT). That and clubs form new teams all the time if they have enough quality players to support it. I think this sounds like rumor mongering by other clubs trying to scare kids away from the CalBlues tryouts?

Placer's coaching list has been updated through u-14. The u15s and up are still playing and the coaches listed are still coaching through the end of the season.

Not true. Cal Blues did have teams in this age bracket. The only time Nor Cal keeps a "new" team from playing norcal is if the coach leaves and takes the entire team. Then he can't coach that team the next season. Blues is already in at Norcal and Norcal will place them in the appropriate level for their team. Cal Blues had multiple teams playing both in League and State Cup. They will however, have to prove themselves but Norcal takes input from coaches. If the New team scrimmages a couple of decent teams and beats them, then they should have no problem being seeded correctly.
