Surf City Delays

Questions and discussions involving PGF

by BB2830 » Tue Nov 24, 2015 10:16 pm

I get both sides but think the poster makes valid points. We were fortunate enough to get invited to the PGF Elite 32 and played on the stadium fields at D9. Great exposure and experiences both. We also got stuck at a satellite field this weekend. Had a decent number of schools both days based on our body of work and the work put in by our coaches and players.

The point, and a valid one in my opinion, is that if you are paying high dollars for these events you should at a minimum receive a decent and safe playing venue, decent blues and a schedule prior to 3 days before the event starts. PGF / Surf City knew their event and field requirements long before the week before it began and this was not the first event of the Fall with these issues. Blame it on Tustin rec if you want but that is making excuses IMHO. Poor event management at a minimum. Yes, teams can make other choices, and they are out there, but we are all striving to place our DD's in the best position to get noticed and the process can be a guessing game at times.

Surf City should not get a pass just because we know there is a hierarchy and too much politics in place that often times is neither fair nor logical even.

Remind yourself when you see my name again in December, I will be asking if you if you received a passing grade on that class I mentioned above. Maybe in December you can follow along with the class. I'm out, have a good night. Until December....lol


Are you still mad at me for calling you ginzuknives? I apologize for that, sometimes I get excited.


Could have called him Wubble Bubble... Not the sharpest tool on the Bucket...LOL!

To most, I know I'm stating the obvious. It use to be that HB complex were the fields to play on. Surf City actually gave people what they waned. They opened up HB complex and Fountain Valley to the not so top and mediocre teams and moved all the top teams to Harvard Park where all the top college programs followed. Most of the college coaches at HP are there to watch their recruits and most are done recruiting at the 18 level. Smaller college programs will not waist their time by going to watch at HP because they know the odds of landing players from those top teams is unlikely. If you want your kid to play at Harvard Park I would suggest having them tryout for one of those top teams. Otherwise your probably playing at the "main" fields where the coaches are actively recruiting.

How is the hierarchy and politics neither fair nor logical?

Good catch... Had a feeling I would get that. All good and it's always entertaining lobbing grenades.

World I don't agree much if ever with you but I tip my cap to your comments. Yes I do believe it or not!

Still think your warped!

Fields do are terrible in most cases. My DD plays on one of "those" teams so we are fortunate, but I tell you we would never or would out organization head allow our DDs to play on those fields. Truthfully there is to much invested past, present and future at risk.
