If you get a waiver to play HS next month, and you participate, you are NOT real GDA.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post“Real GDA”? News flash - there is no real GDA. BDA yes, where they can sign pro contracts. For girls it’s all a ploy by US Soccer not to take a political hit by not having GDA. And they did it all wrong...obviously. Your daughters soccer career is winding down. She should have as much fun as possible and hopefully it gets her into a good college. After that she will be in the work force and soccer is over.

So looks like all three DA teams on LI need to add kids in almost every age group. In some age groups many kids. EM and Susa are done adding players (for the most part). Where do these players come from to help the DA clubs? Many other teams looking for players as well. Seems to be a much bigger issue this year compared to past years too. The saturation is bad and getting worse.

I suspect there will be some consolidation in the next few years. Survival of the fittest. You better offer consumers something better than the other guy and at a competitive price.

Some of the reasons? High costs, too much travel, frustration with poor coaching, kids not having fun. In this case I'd add frustration with all the "elite" leagues that aren't always elite.

we got here because so many families want to pay to play so called high level soccer, If people did not want to buy it, it would not exist.
