I agree as parent of trapped player it really does create a disadvantage for no real reason...
And yes ECNL does allow trapped players to play down but I believe capped at 4 per game
we were told 2 at one point as well. But then that disrupts the 06 team....plus will mostly be done on ECRL teams.

So, the kids that used to be considered as having and advantage in the past, are now trapped.
Many papers written, (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...0%3E3.0.CO;2-1) many suggestions proposed. So far when US Soccer proposed bio banding - they were laughed at.

That jerk that made the comment above praising US soccer must work for them or for one of these academies that care about the $ and nothing else...shame to see good kids impacted in a negative way.

To add I think USWNT is so hypocritical, they promote good sportsmanship but run up the score on teams constantly, they verbalize how much they care about human rights, yet youth soccer is strictly a pay to play middle/upper class sport that generally shuts out many underprivileged and minority girls....it’s a real shame. They should be protesting what’s happening at the youth levels not how much they get paid!

You can chose to find a way, or chose to complain about not. Up to you.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostClub have few scholarships. The only place you are guaranteed to play entirely for free is MLS clubs and even THEN a few clubs still charge something.
But, Club fees are club fees. They don't really change from whatever league you are in. So, to the poster's point (I think), the big difference for DA is the travel costs. DA has a method to help alleviate that. Club tuition is up to the club, so DA stays out of that.
If you get a DA scholarship and still can't afford it, that's a Club problem.
