There is nothing that prevents a tryout fee. That's ridiculous. It's an important part of the business model for these types of ventures.

Lets face it, GW and MP will try to milk as much money out of youth soccer as possible.

4 Years ECNL = $28,000 to $40,000 per player
4 Years GDA = $8,000
Oh, but that $125 tryout fee is the deal breaker? C'mon man!

If you van attract players who have no shot at making the team and milk them for $125 for two days and get enough of them out, you can amass profits in the tens of thousands of dollars you can use to subsidize the program.
Unfortunately US soccer expressly prohibits a try out fee so that's good. It lowers the barrier to participate. Always good.

Why would the DOC of THUSC abandon her only partner club Crossfire Oregon? (THUSC & Crossfire Oregon= Crossfire United) for a coaching position in the Portland Thorns new GDA program.
That's like two food cart vendors who decided to pool resources and make a double wide cart offering a menu of fast food with fine dining prices (Crossfire United). Then one of the owners decides to leave the double wide venture and joins on as a chef at Roe's.
Huh?
