When U.S. Soccer announce the formation of Girls DA it listed off many things that it was going to "fix" - including "tryouts" (below).
Why are clubs like WFF, Boca, etc. persisting with the highly flawed traditional open tryout?
How does someone join (or tryout for) an Academy club?
Anyone interested in playing for a Girls' Academy club will need to contact the club directly for specific information regarding the player selection process. The Girls' Development Academy firmly believes that the traditional open tryout is a highly flawed and ineffective model for player identification and evaluation. The expectation is that Academy clubs move to using a more systematic scouting model to identify and recruit new talents and invite these players to trial for an extended period with the current player pool.
