    http://www.nationalpremierleagues.com/Leagues/

    Since USSDA (US Soccer Development Academy, also known as DAP (Development Academy Program)) has no true U15 or U13 team, the players who will most likely make the DAP U16 and U14 team the following year play in the NPL Pre-Academy leagues. Most of the players in this U15 FC Dallas Pre-Academy team will be part of the U16 FC Dallas Academy (DAP) team this Fall. The NPL finals is the top National event for U15s with the birth date cutoff being Jan 1. Only the winners of the NPL leagues can qualify for these finals - which is why it is the most coveted of National tournaments for U15s and U13s - because all of the pre-academy teams of their respective DAP clubs play in these leagues. It is NOT the most coveted of tournaments for U16 and U18's however, because USSDA has their own DAP finals for the U16 and U18 teams.
    And yes DAP U13/ U14' s have their own national playoff tournament in June. Just like their older counterparts. Pre academy NPL affiliated league is not the USSDA.

      13 14 dap

      Does not have a playoff Championship! You clearly don't know as much as you think you do. The 14's do not have a national champ in DAP they have the year end showcase and put top teams against each other but no Champion in the age group, dope.

        We understand the landscape, I think you may be struggling a bit!

        They would already be there, you idiot!!! They are the SAME AGE GROUP!!!!!!

        Meant for you, you ignorant tool.
        FC Dallas U16 development Academy has a roster of 30 players is attached here. http://ussda.demosphere.com/teams/68...7602/TEAM.html

        Of those 30 kids 8 are DP's or development players, kids who train daily and get limited minutes with the DAP TEAM during the 10 month season. 2 of the 8 are 98's and 6 are 99's ( all of whom played in the NPL FINALS. There is 22 98's on the DAP Roster WHICH MEANS THEY MOVE UP OR AGE OUT OF U16. Almost the entire PRE ACADEMY team will move up to be the u16 FC DALLAS DAP TEAM 2015/2016 NEXT YEAR. That is a fact. Unlike say the Bolts who are in a unique situation with a new coach and almost entirely a new team COMING IN. Bolts u15 pre academy team has 1 player I think, moving up to 16DAP THIS COMING YEAR. That is not the norm for most academy teams. The Revs are one of the few MLS ACADEMIES to not have pre academy teams as feeders. To cheap, they like to steal all the best local talent when it's convenient for them. I hope this helps you understand.

          It is near the end of July. So far we have been to the beach a few times, and have spent a weekend in the mountains hiking. I have kicked a ball with my u13 son a few times per week....just for fun. Over the year, we did not trav to Kansas, West Virginia, or Indiana. Although these are some of the country's hotspot, I did not have the desire to take my son there....he is, after all, only 13.

          I suppose many think he will be at a disadvantage, but I am sure that he will end up simarly 99% of those who are yet to start their summer.

          Congrats to the winners. .

              "Segway"? [Spit take]

                  GPS over-the-top parents are getting an education on TS - TS of all places -go figure! It's no wonder they are so misinformed. The club has had them following like lemmings for years! "...crowned National Champions!!" "17 National titles" What a joke!

                    yeah it says "U-13/14 National Showcase" - Showcase is not a tournament. It's an exhibition-like event where teams play similar teams from other regions- no playoffs, no final, no champion. Just Give it up - you're making GPS parents look really ignorant.

                      If a team plays in a national competition in any sport and they win the event they would be called national champions? If that is not the case please confirm to all MISINFORMED Parents as to what this should be called. I like most am intrigued....

                        The tournament the OP is referring to is the US Club Soccer National Cup XIV Finals. How did the U15 GPS-MA NPL team get into this tournament? The teams in this tournament where supposed to be the winners of the US Club Soccer State Cups. For the U15 Division the Scorpions Boston beat GPS-MA NPL to win the US Club Soccer MA State Cup. The Scorpions then went on the win the NE Regional Cup over NH, RI and Maine to earn a place in the National Cup Finals. Did they turn it down? If so, the 2nd, 3rd or 4th place teams in the NE Regional Cup should have taken their place.

                        The U15 GPS-MA NPL beat the U15 Scorpions Boston to win the New England Premier (NEP) League and as a result qualified for the National Premier League (NPL) Finals. This is the tournament won by the FC Dallas U15 Pre-Academy team.

                          Qualify a few ways

                          Previous post is correct. Scorpions ended up not going to the National Cupf or different reasons! GPS played in the mid Atlantic regional in NJ a few weeks ago. Seacoast Maine also played in it as an attempt to qualify for the National cup. Seacoast Maine LOST to gps in the final.

                            For that matter, how did the GPS NPL U13 get here after losing the state cup NPL to the Stars and the Mid-Atlantic Region to Century?
                            This is too confusing to be of any real value. There are now 4-5 National tournaments some of which call themselves championships. Meanwhile some of the tournaments go by birth year and others go by school year. Which one did this one go by?
                            Even of greater comedy is that these tournaments occur about a month after teams have had their tryouts. So, I ask the following question, of the U13 GPS NPL team, how many of this team made up last years team and where there U14 players play to accommodate the birth year change.....or was this one a school year rostering?

                            too confusing for a simple person like myself. Perhaps the value is about the same as the Futsal championships in Kansas.

Academy National Showcase held where else, in Westfield, Indiana is the National playoff tournament for USSDA teams and that was held a couple of weeks ago for all teams, U14 through U18,(MLS and non MLS). The NPL finals are not "true" nationals. That is a US Club Soccer tournament for teams that won their NPL local league. "Pre-Academy" means absolutely nothing to anyone. USSDA (MLS or non) have a 2 year window for players on their Academy teams similar to State cutoffs. So, the NY RedBull "pre- academy" team that won the NPL finals tournament is not the U13/U14 NY RedBull Dap team. It's just a team that plays in just well, another league.

                              click this link and see the academy and the 13 and 15 Texas Pre academy. For the record everyone knows that the 13 pre academy is different than the 14 DAP.

                                more info on Pre academy

                                Please read so you have the correct information.



                                FC Dallas fielded U.S. Club Soccer sanctioned U-13, U-14 and U-15 Pre Academy teams for the first time in the 2011-2012 season. Pre Academy teams play in a 10-month season beginning in September and ending in June. Games will mirror the U.S. Development Academy schedule in a home and away format. FC Dallas Academy and Pre Academy teams will travel and play against like opponents for division games only. Out of division U-18 and U-16 weekends will not include the U-13-U-15 categories to reduce the cost for those younger players.

                                Players in the Texas Pre Academy League are registered through U.S. Club Soccer and can be dual registered to local FC Dallas Classic League teams and participate in those matches as well, although there will be numerous conflicts with scheduling. These teams will train three times per week in the evenings during the 2011-2012 soccer year. A typical week of training would include several different types of sessions including technical, tactical and functional sessions. The training format will mirror the style of work being used at the U-18 and U-16 levels in order to better prepare players for the transition into the older categories.
