      Either that is a joke or you are a cold hearted jerk. Must be one of those GDA koolaid drinkers.

        What club do you play for? ECNL clubs allow trapped players to play...Stars is allowing trapped players to play with the 06's this weekend

          Considering they did the change before GDA existed, not one USWNT player was in GDA or had this issue, and the men's NT still blows. Your idiotic response is just that, idiotic. Calendar year/relative age effect issues are the least of the problems facing US soccer right now. RAE is barely a thing internationally and 99.999999% of youth soccer players will never set foot on an international field. It's a questionable benefit to a very small number of players vs a significant detriment to thousands every year.

            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!

                      Thanks, I’m sure $1,469 covers it!

                          Yes. And most individual clubs have programs that cover the tuition.

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

                            Club 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.

                              Depends on the Club. Ours has a decent endowment.

                              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.

                                The income cutoff for the travel scholarships is for the nearly destitute, like $25,000 a year for a family. There's plenty of families who make more than that but still can't afford the several thousands it costs for DA travel - especially in our very cost of living area. Some clubs make the effort to do group travel to help get better rates, others don't. Clubs build a few scholarships into their budgets, made up for by the fees paid by other players. Not enough make the effort to get sponsors or fundraise to help lower costs or build a scholarship fund.
