[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing that people don't understand about SD Surf + USYNT placements is that not only does SD Surf provide very high level players at Talent IDs. Surf also has no issue playing the social / connections game and dropping $$$ to make things happen. While most clubs just submit a player to a Talent ID Surf has been working with the players they plan to submit to the Talent ID for 2-3 years before it happens. They've also been strategically planning on how to influence different people at US Soccer.

As others have said the top 40 or so players that make it to the u13 u14 pools are interchangeable. Unfortunately everything that goes on behind the scenes is what determines who gets to play. As an example Surf already has its top u13 players verbally committed to top colleges. If you have 2 players that are fairly equivalent but one is already going to UCLA who do you think US Soccer is going to pick.[/quote]

I cannot believe that. 12 year olds???[/quote]

100% true.

Keep in mind that Surf players have been doing year round competitive for 6-8 years by the time they're 12.

Also consider the area Surf is located, Rancho Santa Fe. Check out the average property values. Imagine what any player would be like if they practiced year round and money for camps, coach's, private trainers, etc didn't matter.

This is what you're up against.[/quote]
