    Has anyone attended this yet? Any ideas about this?

    Maybe next year they'll win a game in league play.

      That's this year's U12 team, I am talking about this Developmental Academy in which they seem to be trying to "get" the best players from the area to be part of this wonderful new program.

        Wonderful? For now it's all the same clubs and coaches that already are there. If you're thinking about moving a player there now, try to go to a club that already has boys DA. The new clubs just get new jersies and game schedules. Same coaches, no enforcement of standards yet. They also don't have older DA teams so your kid will have to move teams again anyway - if they're good enough.

        It will improve over time but you can't just slap a DA label on 56 new clubs and expect ponies and rainbows

              The academy is in its beginning stages and you want them to fail already? Fc will be fine with some really good talent to evaluate from unlike Weston and Boca United where they are robbing people blind.

                If you think other academies got all new coaches because they were awarded academy your kidding yourself. Although I doubt they charged $80 to try out like FC is doing.

                  Never said I expected it to fail, just that it will take time for new clubs to come up to required standards. Current clubs are also being evaluated by the higher ups/outside consultant. It's likely some will lose their status for non performance - as it should be

                    This is designed for FC to steal all the best players from Jupiter to Vero in the age 12 group. Most of FC's teams are in the toilet and it's not looking very good.

                        Cant believe they are starting this age DA we cant even produce kids from the older DA's nor do they have qualified coaches. How are we going to find even more for this age group?

                          The kids will come a lot of kids are at boca United because the fact that they have DA so wellington and fc will be able to keep a lot of those kids north now instead of them traveling to boca United

                              Trevor is good! Steve had a good high school career. Don't know why Tom is apart of that mix. Why did Peter come to Florida? Had a good career up north. I guess we will wait to see how long it takes for the parents to run off those coaches.
