    Fury is $4,500. Not including any tournament registrations. You guys at NYCFC are getting a steal at $3k.

      Wow. Our ECNL dues are significantly less. $4500 is a lot.

        What tournament registrations are there with GDA?

          Yes, but your ECNL dues don't include August thru November.

            The non-DA showcases (i.e. Jeff Cup).

              Not possible with GDA....unless there is a sanctioned division that abides by the subbing rules, etc. FC Fury did not go to Jeff Cup.

                They are this coming year. DA rule change.

                  GDA teams can now compete against non GDA teams? That sounds promising but why do we need to go all the way to Jeff Cup then? We have almost an entire division's worth of these elite teams on Long Island at this point no? Just play right here.

                    DA teams don't start to the end of August. When all is said and done it's more like 2.5 max difference.

                      Structural changes thus far are for BDA only. http://www.ussoccerda.com/20180619-N...2018-19-Season

                      Besides, why would a GDA team want to play at Jeff Cup? First, DA is supposed to be about fewer games, more practice. DA already has two mandated national events which are well attended by college coaches. Now add another tournament, with more fees and travel expenses and is less well attended? There aren't many teams at Jeff Cup that would give most GDA teams a good game (obviously more so with a club like NYCFC and not one like Alby). Finally, if DA teams lost to non DA teams at a non DA event then the curtain is raised on GDA and it won't be pretty. Clubs won't want to risk it.

                        Changes are boys only for now. "Focused on player development, the schedule changes ensure that Academy players will play more games versus equal opposition throughout the season and that clubs will be able to customize their calendars to fit individual needs. The changes will apply to the three oldest Boys' age groups: U-15, U-16/17 and U-18/19."


                        You won't go to Jeff Cup (see post above). But instead of driving you get to FLY to FL and CA!

                            Did LISC gain any new players? I still see they are advertising for players.. Seems late in the day to grab new kids.

                              Yes, many from Fury GDA. And more Fury GDA players left for other clubs. Fury GDA will be far weaker next year.

                                LISC is desperate. They lost some GDA teams and then doubled down and created some EDP teams, long after other clubs already finished their tryouts.

                                I'm sure they picked up some players but obviously not enough since they are still begging for players.
