I have lived this scenario first hand and it was a TD that made these decisions. I was the teams coach and was stepping down to allow the TD to take over the Metro team. I supplied a detailed opinion on each player and also their attendance and work ethics. Guess what he did not select my kid...

If you are not "Elite" it really seems like the rest do not matter. Good luck improving the quality of play when families will be quitting and the actual numbers of participants in coming years will drop substantially

The problem is with who is addressing the problems. If it is the same people that have created what we have now we will continue to be stuck in a loop. In my scenario of actually playing games and see who has the better team and players it takes the decisions out of the hands of club...

I think for teams that would like for instance a Metro spot and their past record supports it they challenge for a spot with games played until Thanksgiving. You can then make your leagues based on those games. If one team challenges then they play a 4 week tournament from the previous seasons...

We can restructure leagues until we are blue in the face but we need to evaluate each team in each age group to see if these clubs can field a competitive team each year. If we want competitive balance in BCSPL and Metro then clubs should not just get a team get these levels year after year. I...

Maybe I have missed something but have the cup opponents been made yet? My kids team has heard nothing about a game this coming weekend.

Not club-wide. U18 boys team did not receive anything. Still have not heard a word this year.

My club in the valley has not said or posted anything regarding the merger, the lack of scheduling, the new website, nothing. If it was not for this thread I would have no idea why any of this was happening. I would not be surprised if this one instance with the extremely poor communication...

Am I going to the correct web page? BCCSL - BC Coastal Soccer League There is nothing there that I see about cancelling the week.

From a quick browse through the 8 districts involved I see that two of them have the cancellation displayed on their web pages. Burnaby already has a schedule for internal friendlies. Sounds like someone must have known this was going to happen but did not feel the need to share the info with...

IMO I think it should be at least common courtesy for clubs to update their websites to let families know when play is going to begin. If it was not for this board I would have no idea that leagues have even merged on the boys side. In our case we (parents and players) have not even received an...

I am having trouble finding any type of documents pertaining to scheduling from past years. The document link on the 4districsoccer pointing to rules and regulations is broken so I will ask here. My question is on what days do U18 boys play their games in Div1? My understanding in District 5 it...

Yes I understand the logistical issues that we have but the training sessions were always open to have 2 of the 3 sessions per week in the community with the most players selected. Chilliwack families to the best of my knowledge have never had an issue attending Abby for sessions twice a week...

Another question to ask is for the Langley teams. They had 3 or 4 teams in U16 Div 1 this year that (results wise) were better than any teams that Abby or Chilliwack could offer. AFAIK few or none of these players supported the 2 win FV Metro team. Now the Langley has officially joined forces...

So not to get too involved in what is best for development of soccer in the lower mainland the club that did not support their district get's their own Select program in the end.

I am a little confused as to how this will improve the quality of the FV teams. Up to this point there have been very few FV teams that have been very competitive on the boys side of the Selects program partially due to the lack of support from the Langley teams. The girls have done better but I...

This is an interesting topic to me. I was involved with a club for 3 years in the MSL and were not really competitive in 80% of our games unless we were at our very best. We managed about 10 wins total in that time. This record was very close to 3 other MSL clubs during that time and the trend...

U16 boys div 2 Chwk played CFC White and won 1-0. Very uneventful game but the scoreline was about where it should have been. Another week with 11 players for first half. 12th player showed up at half time. Looks like this may be the last game before the break and the League Cup groups are chosen.

Fair enough EA but if that is my opinion and if they were in Div1 I do not think they would be doing very well. I did not see any type of structure to their game and no individuals stood out other than their goalie and maybe a centre back.

U16 Boys loss 0-4 to Langley. Score not indicative, if we switched goalies would have been 6-0 for Chwk. First time all season with full lineup. First 6 weeks were missing top 4 players so now hitting stride. I figure we attempted 25 shots to Langley's 3. Yes 3 shots but 4 goals. Goalie kicked...
