Despite GA Cup success, Chivas still face big hurdles http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/08/04/despite-ga-cup-success-chivas-still-face-big-hurdles While the Galaxy had success with their highly touted youth stars, van der Most stated that Chivas USA have their own vision. “We've got a different philosophy. I could have gotten on my phone myself to get players, who have gone out of the national team program, but I don't think that's specifically youth development, its good recruiting,” van der Most said. “It works for them and it's a good way to get the most talented players to play for you, but I think that there's a lot of talent in the LA area. If you saw the game between us and the Galaxy, we weren't much less than the Galaxy with mostly players who have been in our program.”

http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/2617/youth-soccer/2011/08/08/2611138/cosmos-academy-west-disbands-joins-chivas-usa-academy As reported by Goal.com A U.S. Soccer spokesman revealed to Goal.com that the Cosmos Academy West is dismantling after one season in the Development Academy. "Cosmos Academy West is folding just five weeks prior to the 2011-12 Development Academy season. U.S. Soccer spokesman Neil Buethe confirmed the news exclusively to Goal.com on Monday that the club from La Canada, Calif, which had partnered with the perennial figure of New York soccer, had disbanded just months after splitting from Los Angeles Premier FC." "Buethe also confirmed that Cosmos Academy West as a club would be engulfed by the Chivas USA Academy for the upcoming season." "The news of the Cosmos Academy West folding is shocking, as the club was one of the founding members of the new Southern California league, SCDSL, which is set to begin play in the coming months." If true, sounds like a good move by Chivas USA. All we need is a PDL team & our own stadium with multiple soccer fields. Southern California Developmental Soccer League http://scdslsoccer.com/
Cosmos made it official http://nycosmos.com/news/new-york-cosmos-announce-closure-cosmos-academy-west "We have coordinated a transition with Chivas USA of Los Angeles in order to ensure that both our coaches and staff will have an opportunity to continue working within the academy system in Southern California", and most importantly, giving our players the chance to join and play for a team that currently has a direct affiliation with Major League Soccer.
