DA isn't gone. Reign Academy is still kicking.
For high school tryouts, numbers depend on your school...

Sounds like Redmond could be adding a 4th team this year because their tryout numbers increased so much.

The owners of the reign come to the practices. The first team is prepping to build a stadium in Tacoma and the Academy is getting a permanent home field in Seattle.
Any other tall tales?

Speaking of tall tales, don't you need voters approval for public funding to build that stadium which will probably take years to build? How does this benefit your kid? Zip. Where is this Seattle home field? From what I hear is that you guys are losing the Bellevue College fields to Eastside since the messy divorce. Reign got the kids, but Eastside got the fields and ECNL.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWell at Surf it sure looked like it. I am guessing after this season of 9? out of state travel for games, there will be lots of girls going back to ECNL or quitting. Sad thing is that not all of the best players are in DA, although Reign parents like to believe otherwise. Nothing makes the parents madder than a stud coming in mid-season and taking someone's job away.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostRight now Reign teams are practicing at Bobby Morris field alot. I can tell you it is interesting to see a group of DA kids with upper middle class parents shelling out premier soccer money playing on a field, then look to the left and see human feces and homeless people shooting up. We have now solved the kids develop better in the epicenter of poverty and drug use argument. The Reign kids should be monumentally better than all other kids in the US going forward.
The Northwest School, a $ private school downtown, uses Bobby Morris a lot for their athletic teams. Yes, there is a homeless issue, but the aversion to clubs using the field traces to Jimmy at SU, who decided the environment was unacceptable by his standards. SU in general shuns any fields South unless it's a matter of a specific coach's convenience. An SU coach who lived in Auburn used to have teams practice in Beacon Hill, but it general, SU has been biased against South and downtown Seattle for "safety." That attitude, plus the fierce competition for field space, trickles down to the Reign.
In addition to NWS using the field, you have Hugo House, Seattle's nationally known writer's center, across the street from Bobby Morris, and other solid businesses in the area. Yes, there are homeless people in the park, as there are in other Seattle parks. Bobby Morris as a training site doesn't match the pristine, family friendly fields of Issiquah, but it's not a combat zone. The more youth and community members we have using the field, the safer the area will become. All that said, I imagine some Reign parents aren't happy...

Bobby Morris lacks parking as well as the homeless issue which isn't being exaggerated. It's probably tolerable right now when the sun is out until 9pm, but in the winter when it's dark at 5pm that walk back to the car esp for those girls who are driving themselves will be scary
