Man that thing was bad... even worse that it didn't fit the announcement at all. Served zero purpose.C'mon @Regs at least link the video from Twitter they learned to make in a 90s high school video editing class
Ok can someone explain all these leagues (premier, PCSL, League1) and where they are in relation to each other, as well as where they get players from? Ie: university, college, national, retired, done youth etc
My kid is off-season of womens college soccer, but I assume it’s the same alignment as mens, and she’s now playing premier, but her coach is taking on a PCSL team and assisting a League1 team but because I never payed attention to all the leagues and changes over the years I don’t follow where all these teams align and get their players from, and what times of the year they have their seasons.
That's what happens Yoda when you wear tight shorts your whole life!!
Yes L1BC will be heavily university based. In fact 3 clubs are directly linked to local schools - UBC, TWU, TRU - and are expected to closely mirror their varsity rosters.First of all, I wore it first.
Secondly, my kid played Metro and only metro, I never really gave a shite about the rest of the leagues, HPL included, until she started coming home recently with offers to play/tryout in said leagues, and then the questions started because none of us knew. Or cared for that matter
So who fills these Tiers?
L1BC - Uni and national players in off-season or retired?
PCSL - uni and HPL that aren’t playing anymore or anywhere?

Officially it is a U23 league, so there might be a few "retired" players recruited as leaders to set the example for the younguns , but your daughter is the primary target for the league's players pool.
This.PCSL is... I don't know what exactly. They were once a premier level summer league, but they've been in rapid decline the last decade.
I kind of thought that the creation of L1 would be the final nail in their coffin, but they seem keen to march on. They have a full 10 team men's division for this summer, but I've heard they are in need of women's teams to make that side work.
The odd thing is that the PCSL is looking to be far more travel heavy than L1
I compare it to our health care, young players are really going to need to advocate for themselves. Otherwise you may not get what/where you want. Contact the teams, contact player you know. Find a way to be successful. I don’t think you can just expect to be found, there are lots of people locally at this kind of level(it least at the start). Kids need to make sure they are one of them. Send a TIk tok of yourself juggling or doing trick shots. Seems to be the key.
For me, I'd say whenever they "gave up" their provincial cup spot(s) which I think was mid 90s? Even then, probably the tide was turning in the late 80's when certain clubs folded or jumped full time to the VMSL.When is the last time PCSL was really relevant? Taking early 2000s?

Basically what I'm saying is that when I left that league in 1988, it all went to shite
