2 Questions
1. When is/was the money for Academy participation due?
2. Have they had team practices yet?

The academy rosters are up on the USSF DA site. The U17/18 team is carrying 14 players, the 15/16s only 24. Is the cupboard really that barren? It's troubling that an MLS academy team can only draw 14 players over two age groups. Where are all the players?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLooking at the rosters for the ECNL teams, they better focus on development. Lots and lots of development. And I mean, LOTS of development. Something that many of the coaches aren't too keen on since they focus on recruiting. The development thingy is something that some other club and coach does.
Do or should these teams recruit? Yes. No sense squandering a girls talent playing in the current split league that's offered. Dream big or go home.
