Yes there were 18 players from OC that were at National Camp. They had to supplement from the U14 team as well as the purple and white teams.

Playing time issues? Not in the DA.

All DA players must start at least 25% of all games and all other playing time decisions will be made by the coach. Playing time complaints will be resolved by those players' decisions to leave or the DA program's decisions to cut those players loose.

If that is a fact, rules are being broken for DA.

You can see their play time stats here:

USDA does require 25% starts and there are several players that don't have starts yet but US Soccer doesn't evaluate that until later in the season as there could be injuries impacting short-term statistics.

According to the game report, OC did play their #10 and most of their strength against Chargers.

According to the OCU15-16 DA website, 5 of its 22 players have not started any of the 5 games played to date. However, in order to comply with DA rules, none of its players are required to start more than 25% (i.e., 9 of the 33 scheduled games). As far as I know, there is no DA requirement that players start at least 1 game out of every 4 games and no DA rule that will prevent a coach from having players who have not yet started 9 games start several games in a row at the end of the season.

Maybe there going to be released from the DA, DA doesn't guarantee playing or start times.
