The split in the biggest club BC Tigers caused all this merry go round - Van Utd merged into BC Tigers a few yrs ago & 2 yrs ago left BC tigers to set up their own club again.
PUFC split away and formed their own club just over a year ago and apparently BC tigers tried to take them over but word...
For teams U13 and up 1st tryout should be 8 a-side and the 2nd & 3rd should be full field . These so called evaluation generally have no clue about the players they are evaluating . I have seen these so called evaluation experts chatting/joking around instead of watching the players. Players...
The growth of SU & Coastal is due to their organization and loyalty of parents /players to those clubs. Having the BCSPL franchises attracts many extra players as well.
The huge housing development on the Cloverdale/Langley borders has also helped SU numbers grow and Langley UTD numbers will...
That U16 team was so poor and needed a total overhaul but i bet many of the same players kept their spots - doesn,t make any sense and not fair on deserving players who miss out !
I personally experienced a U17 & U18 Metro tryout being held on 4 tiny grids marked out on half a field . There is no common sense used by the Evaluators . Players of that age should start on a half field playing 8 aside and then in the 2nd or invitational tryout play on a full field !
Some tryouts are a joke with players selected who are not good enough for Metro and other select levels.Players should be selected based on their performance during the past season and also their showing during the tryouts.
Fraser Valley made a smart move to move to Langley on the doorstep of Surrey . They are now bolstering their rosters by picking up players from the Surrey area who either left Coastal or SU or were dropped . Its just a short 10-20 min drive depending or where u live and parents & players who...
Rumour is that BC TIGERS takeover of PUFC did not go thru . PUFC have held their own Evaluations for the Fall season.
BC Tigers have also posted dates for evaluations . BC Soccer needs to step in cus if the takeover didn,t go thru then BC Tigers should not be misleading parents/players by...
I made a point of not posting anything for many weeks as members were going off topic and spoiling things. Hope Admin will have noted the lack of activity from regular posters
We all realize the need for a big change in BC Youth Soccer and there,s some great suggestions on this forum.
As i,ve posted beforethe boys Metro Leage is watered down now and the top half div 1 teams would easily beat the bottom half Metro teams . Either scrap Metro and make everything below...
There,s nothing on the BC Tigers or PUFC website confirming a take over by the BC Tigers and the word is the take over didn,t succeed.
PUFC have many technical guys/good coach,s who want to develop players and eventually their approach will help them to run their own club successfully
Fraser Valley BCSPL made a smart move setting up their Franchise @ Langley where they can attract players from the huge soccer base of Surrey and this was noticeable at the recent Whitecaps tournament with many players from Surrey on their teams.
The most talented players from BC were on display at the Whitecaps College Showcase tournament in Surrey last weekend. All the BCSPL teams from U15 to U18 were there as well the UBC mens team and teams from USA.
The Whitecaps girls team won all 3 games and the U17/18 residency team looks to have...
Mario Gotze could possibly be available for 20 million pounds if Liverpool follow up their interest in him. Another 2 German players playing from Cologne are also heavily tipped to join us - GK Timo Horn & LB Jonas Hector

I can only speak about the Surrey area re BCSPL , as i have placed players on BCSPL teams and know many players/parents who are still involved or were involved and have now graduated onto University scholarships etc. Even though cost is extremely high with travelling costs for parents on top...
There,s been very little news coming out about the merger of the SMSA with Delta . If it doesn,t come soon , BC Soccer still needs to sort out the SMSA or take it over to ensure transparency & equality for all clubs / players in the Surrey District. Submitting teams for Metro should go direct to...
