Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think you could say that about every sport available to kids today. My biggest complaint is the winning is everything philosophy, and too many games to practice ratio. The '04 DA at least addresses that with its structure. It's a pretty good model for teams at all ages to aspire to.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf you're not going to even read the syllabus, then how are you qualified to judge it? I've read it. It looks good. In fact, I'm not sure what they could improve. Of course great players can come from other programs. That doesn't mean this program isn't one of the best. Instead of complaining about what's available, do some research and offer suggestions. Or, continue to be uninformed and complain about everything.

they also learn to become more serious/focused about training.

So, if you want to make the team and your not in the DA be THE BEST. period.
(i know this from experience having been the 2nd best player at my high school, good enough to make the state select team, remember when they used to call them that, and good enough to get pro tryouts in other countries before mls. but since you've never heard of me, i obviously wasn't THE BEST.)

math, plus links (warning totally reputable links, so be afraid)
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhy are 2004s considered u12 at DA and u13 everywhere else?
And there's this handy chart. it's based on when the season ends

Plus, as an example, for the 2015 U17 WC, you must have been born in 1998 or later. 2015-1998 = 17. here's a link to there rule book for that year. section 14.2 http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tour...en_neutral.pdf
I think people just took the UNDER part too literally(?)

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI thought the whole point of the birth year change was to make us the same as the rest of the world. Why aren't we even the same as our own DA? 2004 is u12 in DA and u13 everywhere else?
i have no idea why they named them incorrectly, but if that is causing this grand confusion that people wrote about last year and the year before that, i'm worried about more than futbol development. my guess is that since state cup is next year, when 2017-2004 = 13, then maybe that's why in OYSA the group is called U13. but again, i'm not at that level.
really though you just say, "when were you born? ok, 2004s are over there. have fun, be champions."

At ADF you will get some quality isolated technical work but nothing that truly works on the cognitive part of the game and how it should be played. These kids will dribble into pressure consistently.
At PCU you get blue collar work horse kids with a few really technical players that are getting most of their work through Rose City. Although the dad coaching is a nice dude he simply isn't doing enough for these boys and that is a failure by the director of PCU because there is some potential there.
Westside - another very athletic team filled with individuals. Some even have the typical Westside attitude that the DA coaches are beginning to nix from their lists. Westside, for some dumb reason, did not put their top players in the DA, thus, failing the players that are playing in the OYSA league.
I watched the PCU vs Westside game. It was TERRIBLE! neither team could keep the ball. There were at least 40 Gk punts between them and they couldn't even use the entire pitch. It showed me that these kids playing in the '04 OYSA are not ready for 11v11 and the DOC at Westside should be hammered on for failing the '04 age group.

yes, PCU dad coach is a nice dude, but he only coaches his son. The rest of the kids relay on the practices from RCF , RTC or former clubs. SAD
