    TBU got denied Girls DA and Full Boys DA...again!

    What’s TBU’s excuse this year for not getting Girls DA or FULL Boys DA? Last year TBU claimed that you didn’t apply after you got passed over? This year they applied for both again and got shutout again. Clearly the message from US Soccer is that you don’t develop. You only recruit from other clubs. Let’s see how you spin it this time around.

    Definitely does not look particularly good for TBU, but what can you do?

      Discriminating, objective parents will continue to choose TBU because the parent and player experience is the best in the area. TBU is actually being approached by existing DA players and parents because the DA programs in the Bay Area are not implemented well. TBU will continue to grow.

        Yes, the Dallas showcase was a great example of this player/parent experience.

          I know this to be true. One GDA player came to TBU about a month ago.

            And there are TBU girls practicing with GDA teams. It’s normal this time of year for players to look for that perceived better opportunity.

              And there are GDA teams from both coasts trying to poach TBU girls.

                We’ll see how long the top players on your teams stay at TBU. ECNL is the 2nd tier. GDA is the Top Tier and has the best competition and top players at clubs Nationwide. The egos of the TBU parents won’t last staying in a lesser league. You did a good job of keeping kids when all you had was NPL and others had ECNL. I think your job is harder with US Soccer behind GDA. It’s only a matter of time before kids migrate to GDA clubs.

                  Parents and players who know they will not make DA next season.

                    The irony is that the Top Tier players at TBU (and any club) know they can play anywhere they want that best fits their families needs because GDA and ECNL provide the same exposure to everything. It's actually the 2nd tier players and parents that are most gullible and easily swayed with the "highest league" argument - that is why the GDA teams are struggling so much this year - they don't have the Top Tier players in the area.

                      Keep trying to convince yourself that they’re comparable. You’re playing 2nd teams at all of the ECNL clubs that have DA.

                        The OP didn't say that GDA and ECNL are comparable. He/she said that informed parents/players know that players can get the same level of exposure in either league. Or to say it another way you couldn't get me to drop off my player at J.C. Hand-Me if Jill Ellis was standing next to Yo-Yo at every practice.

                          There’s no shame in playing ECNL. It’s not the same as before GDA started, but better than the local leagues. The level has gone down from u14 and up. Only the best will want to challenge themselves against other GDA teams.

                            Never will they get DA. what does that tell you? The belief that the quality of staff is in place to handle and follow a proper curriculum doesn't exist people. Wake up. TBU is a wasteland of several teams and lure parents over from small clubs only to end with little player development. Its an organized fleecing of your wallet. Enjoy.

                              Your kid must not be good enough then.
