Several reasons for playing ecnl over DA

1. Less travel - nope - ecnl is more parent travel to get your kids to games
2. Less expensive - nope - ecnl is more expensive
3. Better competition - nope - DA is far more competitive
4. Higher quality soccer - nope - DA is much higher quality soccer, speed and skill.
5. Scouted better - nope - top college coaches and national team scouts only go to DA games and showcases, not ecnl.
6. Playing time - maybe - you were told at the beginning of the year that your kid would be an end of the bench player and majority of the minutes would go to another kid in his position. Not really a valid reason since a confident player/parent that is in that position should take that as an insult and work like a possessed demon in training to win the job or be in that higher level environment.
7. Wants to play high school - seriously - have you ever seen high school soccer? Serious competitive soccer players need not apply.

Otherwise, there is not reason, other than being cut.

Sir, you won the internet today. Remember trolls don't like facts. DA haters will be haters. ECNL has been watered down. DA is having a major impact and that's reality. USSDA's first year isn't without growing pains but it's ramping up it's DA program. I'll give the trolls 1,2,3,4,5 seconds to reply with useless posts. BU first year in GDA and 3rd year as a BDA. With today announcement, BU is heading in the right direction regardless of what the trolls have to say.

Thanks but where was DA before 7 years ago, where all the soccer players came from? NOT FROM DA because it didn't exist, Its a failed system.

Name in the State of Florida how many are players for the National Team came from DA????

that didn't take long did it. I guess daddy hasn't done his homework. Where do I start, daddy must be a rookie to not know the answers to his questions. Is he really asking these questions? Rookie questions 101 or trolling 101.

Boca Raton, Fl. (May 23, 2018) – Boca United FC is pleased to announce that the clubs has signed a partnership agreement with the Ives Estates Soccer Premier in which the South Florida based soccer clubs will work together to combine resources and support in the running of USSF Development Academy Programs for elite level young players (Boys and Girls).

Boca United has been a member of the USSF Development Academy League since 2013 and Boca United Academy Director Eichmann and Asaf has been actively looking to expand the “footprint” of the Academy program by seeking partnerships with other local clubs that share the same player development philosophy, playing style, and vision. After observing the improvement of Ives Estate Soccer Premier club over the last several years under the leadership and guidance of Player Development of Jason Albury, and after detailed discussions and meetings, it was clear that a partnership between the clubs made sense and most importantly would be based on a solid foundation of a shared player development philosophy which both club directors felt was imperative to the long term success of the partnership.


“I am extremely excited about our new partnership said DOC Albury, “Combining our resources and efforts will only help to improve and enhance our boys and girls USSF Development Academy Programs. Furthermore, in addition to our primary responsibilities as a USSF Development Academy club of identifying the top talent in the South Florida / Treasure Coast area, offering them a high performance professional training environment and competition, and developing their character as young people, we feel that our Academy also has a responsibility to do our part to help improve youth soccer in general throughout our surrounding communities. Our partnership is a great way for us to start to achieve that objective while simultaneously offering more players a direct pathway to the USSF Academy League which is the highest level of competition in the country.” Ives Estate Soccer Premier had a successful 2017-2018 soccer season:

2003 Black Number 1 in Florida.
2002 Black Number 1 in Florida.
2005 Black Number 7 in Florida.
2002 Red Number 8 in Florida



“This is a wonderful opportunity for the players and soccer families in our community and we are excited to be part of something very special for the players,” Director Albury. “I am looking forward to working with Coach Eric and Asaf. Boca United as we collaborate on this player development project and combine resources to offer a very professional program for the players in our area.”


The clubs has also developed and helped many girls and boys players move on to play college soccer.

“Our partnership with the Ives Estate Soccer Premier Club will provide player development opportunities and exposure to college and professional scouts for even more young aspiring soccer players in our shared area,” said Boca United Executive Director John Hurst.

The new Academy name South Florida Football Academy (SFFA) will reflect the new partnerships and represent our programs partnership.


It is important to note that the new partnership is designed to allow clubs to work together to support and improve the two USSF Academy Programs (Boys and Girls) by combining resources (players, staff, training resources, field, coaching, etc.). However, in addition to the jointly supported Academy teams, clubs will continue to operate their respective competitive programs and offer non-Academy teams in all age groups as they have always done in the past.

The non-Academy teams at each club will be considered Pre-Academy teams and those players will have the ability to be moved from the Pre-Academy teams into the USSF Academy Program teams at any time during the year based on their development and performance in the Pre-Academy team/program.


Boca United is commencing its on field evaluation process to prepare for the 2018-2019 US Soccer Development Academy season. ID CAMPS will be free of charge and will consist of a 90 minute training session with our Academy staff. We will answer any questions regarding the Academy program after these sessions. Below are the ID Camp dates. ALL ID CAMPS ARE BEING HELD AT SOUTH COUNTY REGIONAL PARK IN BOCA RATON, FLORIDA.

And so rings the end to "Boca United." They won't field any non-DA teams. They do not have the resources for it.

Ives Esate already pimping their club webpage with Academy logo.

That is not the real DA logo

What happened to PBG / Wellington partnership, is
this not a thing anymore? Don’t see either club advertising
it anymore, one year and done?

It is for 04 and 05 DA, Palm Beach United

So what you are saying it that players at a DA level are just going to drive past Weston to drive to West Boca? This won't work. Boca folks are not driving down to Ives Estate and people at Ives Estate will learn that the trip to Boca isn't worth it.

This is all fake news.

Looks like a lot of Boca United DA players just got demoted or will be looking for a new club.

Looks like Boca United parents are about to find out how good their DA players are compared to non DA players. Hope the Ives kids are willing to make that drive, would be fun to watch.

They are on the east side far from Weston. From IESP to BUFC it’s a 22 minutes drive per GoogleMaps.
