Also Unless the DA is a club that has proven trainers and coaches who have proven they can train players to compete and win at the highest level they aren't really a DA. Thats the problem with some of the DA's. They plain and simply suck!

In all honesty when is all this madness going to end? There is enough quality soccer in FLA to keep teams from having to travel the insane amount teams are traveling now. A couple of national showcases or tournaments are fine, but traveling 8+ hours for a league game is crazy! Especially when some of the teams that are doing this extreme travel are B-level teams. Rather than spending the money on travel just invest in coach education and coach/club oversight and play the games in state. Improve the quality of the coaching and league play in FLA. The ECNL, NPL, USYS national and regional leagues are killing the game. I get the DA to an extent on the male side, but I think the GDA is going to hurt the women's game. I think more girls are going to move to girls lax. Many parents are stressing financially as well as committing a ton of time to travel, and that is going to negatively impact the player pool. Sports like baseball, softball and lax don’t have the travel and expense, so parents are pulling their kids out of soccer and into other sports. US Soccer put out a recent report showing a significant drop in kids playing soccer. The cost and travel associated with youth travel soccer will kill the sport in the US.

They don't have one other good club in there area that sends top players to them. In fact its the opposite. More good players leave Boca united and go to other area clubs than the reverse. Boca united just merged with Boynton Knights because they were told if they wanted to even keep the DA they had to have better facilities and thats the reason they went soliciting Boynton, not to get their weak players. Boca united was a joke in ECNL and they will be an even weaker DA. The sad part is there will be some parents who think their kid needs to be at a DA and send their kids to Boca only to find out that they ruined their kids. US Soccer is making the same mistake as ECNL did and haven't had their eyes open. Just because a club has a former national team player running it doesn't mean they have any idea how to run a club. Boca united is a rec club with a very poor staff that has a DA and thats a sad statement for the US Soccer Academy program.
