WHAT IF the DA & JUDGEShop on. BENCHumps smoke with CHIMPS in CHAMBERSpot? -
This has been a rumor for some time. It's pretty likely to happen this year for boys but a year from now for girls. Girls will probably expand down to U13 possibly U12. It's all about creating more teams to get more market share.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

lol GDA 03 parents finally realizing some of their kids may not be in GDA next year unless the teams split. Folks this I how BDA has always operated, and in fact they didn't even have U15 as a single year until recently. You might get lucky and thy spilt this year, but more likely it's next yearOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

If it goes like it usually does with boys it will be about 2/3s 02s and 1/3 03s, if even. The process tends to favor the older players and younger ones have to basically top 4-6 starters on their current team. some clubs have so called "pre-academy" teams to push those castoffs into while they bide their time in the hope that they make the team next year. That's a risky bet.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Yes the players who don’t make it will go back and play 2nd tier ECNLOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Which will enable them to seek out college options.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
ECNL is now a very valuable option to get players exposure. Sure DA might be top dog but ECNL right behind it. Sure some players are not quite DA caliber but I'd bet you if yours were too you would be looking at the next best option and that's ECNL.Comment

As of today it seems that it will be joint '02-'03 however:
Original statement '02-03 joint for '18-19 season
Nov/Dec ? Meeting with DA Clubs DOC's - US Soccer was considering separating '02-'03 as they had considerable feedback from clubs that wanted this.
January DOC meeting Published '02-'03 as single age group other than Frontier (Texas) regions which would "pilot" separate '02 & '03 age groups
Rumor (Not Fact) => Club DOC's have gone back to US Soccer and asked them to re-evaluate separate 02 & 03 age groups for '18-'19 season
I would place the odds high on joint age groups '02-'03 for '18-'19 season. Two official presentations keep these as a joint group for '18-'19. I would not say there is no chance of splitting them still, however, I think it is more likely they will be joint.Comment

And those so called 2nd tier players will still land great college spots without all the DA bullshi*t.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
