wow - interesting shake up taking place in the U-13 D1 division. Solar has 2 teams already and adding his Royal team to the mix.

by the way, Thanks

Is he keeping the 75% necessary to keep the bye? I heard he takes Kevin's team. As usual just rumors.

by ontherightside 5/17/2011, 11:49 am

Kevin is taking his team to 97 Pre-Academy. Maybe Castro takes the CL spot left behind.

by don'tknow 5/17/2011, 11:56 am

He has some good talent in the royal squad - I don't know if they will stick around with DZ as coach. nothing wrong with DZ but is all about the resume when it comes to coach a D1 squad. Just my opinion.

Yes it is true....majority of 98 Royal following him to Solar. We will have Solar 98 D1 spot. Keven will do ACademy and Pre Academy.

Have Partain's 2000s been told they will have Castro, not KS as their coach if he is only coaching Academy?

Not correct. KS will coach 2000's this year not Castro.

by soccergrunt 5/17/2011, 4:19 pm

Not talking about 2000 silly......Academy refers to 97s. And Pre-Academy refers to 98s.......used to start at U16 but starts at U14 now.......Castro took his 03s to Solar along with most of what used to be TFC Royal.

by ontherightside 5/17/2011, 4:43 pm

Don't know anything about Castro or his move to Solar, but feel compelled to get the facts as correct as possible.

U15 Pre-Academy is 96 birth year
U14 Pre-Academy is 97 birth year
U13 Pre-Academy is 98 birth year

USSF Developmental Academy stays as it has been since 2009.

Pretty sure no one is for sure keeping any byes that'll be abandoned by Pre-Academy. Classic League has yet to rule on that yet and if they do then Classic League turns into a three club league. Just making sure everyone knows that we all know nothing right now about how that is working out. Teams may THINK they are going to keep a bye but could be very disappointed later on.

You are very late to the dance my friend.

Doesn't really matter does it whether its DC or KS, does it? Pick your screamer.

Once again we arent referring to 2000s when talking about Pre Academy and Academy we are talking about 98 and 97....Castro is coaching 98 D1 at Solar and Kevin is coaching 98 and 97 Pre Academy. This is not the Academy the younger soccer players play in.....

Are you trying to provide accurate factual information? How dare you, sir! Smile

I believe he was correcting the statement in red. DA still starts at U16...not U14. Anything below U16 is USCS pre-academy. U16 and U18 are USSF DA.

by ontherightside 5/18/2011, 8:56 am

But yet again, grunt is still not getting this...

no one was confusing the 00s as Academy. They were U11 select last year, not Academy as in 01s, 02s, etc.

AND KS is not coaching 98 Pre-Academy...that will be Nuno Passos or Ray DeLeon.

Apparently, someone believed KS may be taking over Partain's 00s which led someone to ask if it would now be Castro. I don't know the answers to these questions, but grunt put out some misinformation that needed to be cleared up.

by don'tknow 5/18/2011, 8:58 am

Ok - so help me understand:
Solar U-13 currently has 2 D1 teams - DC will coach KS old team and Solar Red will remain. If royal brings 75% of the squad over and they go with DC, what happens to their bye? can a 3rd Solar team take over even though the players end up with DC? I guess the bye belongs to the club and they can do whatever, correct? I believe i answered my own question.

by ontherightside 5/18/2011, 9:09 am

KS's "old Solar team" - Solar 98 is going to stay with KS as the new 97 Pre-Academy team.

Solar Red - Ray DeLeon's team will fill in slots in the 97 Pre-Academy team, fill in slots in the 98 Pre-Academy team and some may stay in CL.

DC is apparently coming to Solar and one of the age groups he is coaching is 98 CL.

And the 97 CL spot will be filled by the golden boys, right?

by ontherightside 5/18/2011, 9:21 am

I would imagine the answer to be yes.

The 97 Solar Red Solca team will mostly make-up the 96 Pre-Academy team and Solar Gold will get to stay D1.

by tkhmoh 5/18/2011, 10:09 am

So when does everyone find out what is truely going to happen? I understand that some teams may fall apart due to relegation to a lower division. But if the pre-academy clubs don't get to keep all those byes, won't those clubs be saved from having to drop down? Will they know before July 1?

It is sadly addicting trying to figure out what's going on. Embarassed
