I dont think your statement above is correct. I believe the only kids that will be playing BU16 rec are the BU15 boys that were going to play signature. Please correct me if I am wrong but from what I have been told is that the only boys that are in the Rec BU16 pool right now are the BU15 Signature Boys that you pulled the team from, with the exception of maybe 2.
So which is the correct Rumor out there:
1.By pulling the BU15 signature team, which you had enough kids to play on, has caused there to be boys not able to play soccer now in LMSA.
2.LMSA has enough players to play BU16 rec???

Ok since you asked nicely there was no BU15 signature team, the roster was never approved. Hence no team.
The boys are welcome to play here they don't have to leave that is there decision, can't answer that question as to where or who the kids are.
There is talk about not having u15 signature anymore?
Hey lets keep it adult PLEASE

Although I hate the fact that a potential BU15 Sig team was not formed it was a good decision.
From what I can gather, there was insufficient players to form a BU16 Rec team. So it was decided that the more kids that play the better.
So the players on the possible BU15 Sig team would be used to fill the ranks of the BU16 rec.
It was a good decision because:
1. More kids get to play
2. The quality of the NOCIL U16 program is quite honestly as good as club bronze.
So the U15 boys will get some quality experience
3. Families will save money.
4. The NOCIL Contracts with the Professional Referee Assns so the level of officiating will be better than the the sad rec refs that Sig uses

Ok lets keep it adult, First Timmy has a higher level coaching licence then Frank he was the only one that went to the "D" course that was offered, second Timmy trains the team Frank doesn't his father does nothing wrong with that and nothing against the dad I am one. We have a current team that had great success under tremendous odds and that was considered. Thinking about what is best for future team it would be hard to think that it should be totally torn apart, we are suppose to have a fair and open tryouts for the team and there is no right of passage. During my interview with Frank I came away with the impression that he had already made up his mind on whom the team was going to be and that the girls that would tryout wouldn't be given a fair chance, that was the many reason why my recommendation was for the current coach. For better or worse.
As far as which method there are several ways to train, some believe in development more the others, some believe that winning is the sole way to judge a coach, some get judge by how happy the team is, but that is a whole other discussion. It just depends on what you want out of it and the length of the term you have to judge yourself, my personal believe is that it takes about 3 years to get the best out of a kid, there is an old wise tale that says it takes a 1,000,000 quality touches before you can become a good soccer player, ever count how many quality touches a player gets at practice. Many of us judge talented soccer player by how athletic they are not their skills. oops here i go off on a tangent sorry.
Ok what should the criteria be in choosing a signature coach?

If the BOD approved club. We could have La Mirada boys play in La Mirada. Hence LM High School kids could play in their own city. But unfortunately we have no club just signature. So once kids reach the age of 14 or 15 they either play Rec or go club?
Its confusing to let kids play signature when they are younger but after they play signature for a couple years they are forced to leave or go back to play rec. Makes no sense to me why go back to rec.

OK,
Just to clarify. Currently there is no BU16 Rec team.....Not enough players registered for BU16.
The option for a BU15 Signature would of only meanty that One BU14 team, Rec and One BU14 Signature would have been possible. So instead of allowing part of the BU16 to play in Signature BU 15, noone gets to play now. Is that a true statement?
You all answered but kept sayin BU16 was better, I do not disagree. But the fact is it does not matter because there will be no BU16 teams or a BU15 signature team so what ever boys registered need to find a new home in another city or not play soccer.
I was asking if it was true that there will not be a BU16 season as of current registrations.

The rec program is first and if we could have put 2 teams together we would have but we couldn't at this time. I here that some of the kids are leaving and going to the Striker good luck to them they will take your money no problem. They could stay here and play.
Some of you appreciate that someone was willing to come here and work with you sorry not no more if you want info go to the meeting don't listen to what people want to believe or think they know.
