Total-Base -- unfortunately a little too much "inside-baseball" references (i.e. about 1 TD running 2 clubs, Burnaby should not get away with it, etc) being referred to so a lot of stuff that doesn't mean anything to me :-(
But there is another thread on this forum that might affect your...
TKBC - what would be considered as a "ridiculous travel time"?
I am trying to frame your experience vs mine. I have 2 girls in BCCGSL who've traveled to play in Whistler, Squamish, Abbotsford & Chilliwack for games.
Luckily we are in relatively central to all from Burnaby, but I can imagine...
Rich's post agrees mostly with what I've heard. One difference is that Div 2/Silver teams would travel too. As mentioned, lots of "moving parts" still :-)
Not sure why LFC is so hard on their club's webmaster. Personally, I check the LEAGUE (note spelling) website, i.e. BCCGSL warned early in week about probable weather issues; updated league site when directors/board made the decision. Our club sometimes, but not always posts field closures...
Bryan, did you *just* register your son with a (your profile shows Surrey) club in December 2016, or is that a typo or misread by me? If so, has he even played a game with his team?
December registration would seem rather late as most Coastal youth leagues (below HPL & Metro) just finished...
Just curious what club & district your daughter plays with? Each club/district may have different "paths" to BCSPL.
Here in Burnaby, the BCSPL Mountain United FC draws players "primarily" from North Shore Youth Soccer Association district (NSYSA) & Burnaby District Youth Soccer Association...
Picking the U18 G1 team. the Burnaby District rep is RCY Westminster United which BCCoastalCup shows advancing to B Cup quarter finals. That team & the other U18 G1 teams can be found on BCSoccerCentral's 4DL pages, but not their game results or standings.
Presumably the 4DL data are in a...
In the BCCGSL girls league, clubs hold tryouts to form Div 1 or 2 teams, Div 3 teams are players who just register (no tryouts typically) for placement on a Div 3 team. Div 1 & 2 teams can play anywhere with possible cross group play (i.e. 1A v 1B etc). but Div 3 is grouped by geography i.e. 3N...
I've scanned these documents tonite and interpret that a recommendation can be made by a "member club" TD or coach. I think that means a TD/coach from from a BCSPL member club. If that's true, clubs that have a BCSPL team, then a Metro players probably has exposure or access the club's TD or HPL...
Perhaps your league has recently adopted the CSA LTPD (Long Term Player Development) directive, which recommends no scores or standings are kept or published for U12 and younger. Checking your league website may tell you if that is the case. And what LTPD is :-)
For example, one daughter plays...
If the concern about lack of make-up games in 4DL, is in regards to final season standings, i.e. affect a teams' eligibility for cup play, would the section (just above the "No Make Up Games" text) be relevant to the discussion?

Just curious, at what ages did you get your concussions? Is 7 concussions typical for a soccer player? Did you have to get treated, lose playing time, maybe parts of seasons? That's what happened to a U14 teammate of my daughter, but her concussion originated from bashing heads during...
