Originally posted by Unregistered View PostInjuries are part of the game. Thin is thin. Plus, next year you need an extra 17-18 players to field the extra age group, assuming everyone from this year returns.... which they won't. That's a lot of recruitment at that price point.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIMG is probably opening doors as indicated above because US Soccer asked them to. It keeps top players in the DA, and allows WFF to say they are DA becuse they have the affiliation with IMG. It really is no skin off IMGs nose to go along with this game and solidfies their relationship with US Soccer. All of WFF teams will continue to be pre-DA and will overcharge players and parents for playing NPL

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post^ nothing but a bunch of bullshít and fake news. The only way that the GDA is going to restructure is when it is no longer a thing. That day is much closer than most think - probably 18 to 24 months at most.

Nope. Returning players are at 100% return rate. Don't believe go tour yourself and ask.
So the guy that takes the tests for all the kids is doing campus tours now?

Here's your restructuring::
SIX NEW CLUBS TO JOIN GIRLS' DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY FOR 2019-20 SEASON
CHICAGO (Feb. 20, 2019)-The U.S. Soccer Girls' Development Academy will expand its membership for the 2019-20 season to 71 clubs, encompassing 342 teams. As part of its mission to impact everyday environments to develop world-class players, six new clubs will join the Girls' Academy and two clubs will introduce new age-group teams. With the introduction of the Girls' U-16 age group, the upcoming third season of the Girls' Academy will be its largest ever, set to feature nearly 7,000 players.
......JUST NOT IN FLORIDA and who can blame them.

I guess I'm just not understanding. Even if IMG doesn't add u14 next year ( and keeps BR around ), they still need numbers to fill up a team because the u16/17 age group splits next year.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThey will either have players play up and fill the rosters accordingly on a weekly basis. There will be new players coming to IMG to attend the school to help with the roster spots as well. No WFF players will play at IMG if they don't attend the school.
Still stand by my statement that between the new age and graduating players that they will need extra 17-18 bodies for next year above and beyond what they currently have. I’m sure they know this and are recruiting to the school hard. Better results this year will help.
