I mean that in every sense of the world.
DA, especially pay-to-play DA, is the realm of the upper middle class. European luxury cars drop wealthy kids off at distant training grounds. If you can't afford the fees, travel or time necessary you can't join the fraternity. It's an echo chamber on the sidelines. The clubs and coaches take the easy way out and let the moneyed come to them rather than making accommodations for the best players in the state.
The DA bubble appears ready to burst in Massachusetts when it comes to college commitments as well. Fees are increasing. Travel will increase. Quality on the field is down. Prep school is offering a multifaceted alternative. ECNL and NPL are placing more players in college. The USMNT is a travesty. National Team call ups are drying up for Massachusetts kids. Smart parents are doing the math.
What do you think the long term prognosis is for DA?
