    been hearing that for years..fsa / cfc B team players that couldn't make top team.. at what age group? but the question is will there be ow players going in the other direction?

      Yeah, if an OW U13 parent with his head up his azz says it on the chat board, it has to be true.

      Do you have any idea how little recruiting actually gets done in the fall? College coaches get their teams on or around August 1st. From that point on it's full days to prepare for the season which starts later that month. From August to September, its a weekday match and a weekend match as well as 4 to 5 days of training, film, weight room etc. Calls and phone calls with recruits and perhaps some campus visits but very little in the way of attending showcases etc. There simply isn't time.

      GDA offers better training in the fall but if you are chasing it for recruiting, you are sorely mistaken.

        College coaches are busy with their own season in the fall. They're not going to come watch a GDA game then; maybe they'll send an assistant if it's convenient (no travel and the schedule works). There are national events until December.

          No top players leave from ECNL - benchwarmers every year and not even very many of them. Plus GDA is on shakier ground than ever with several good clubs dropping out and probably a few more in the works before the season is allowed to resume + tryouts.

            apologies - fixed it.

              The chatter is US Soccer throwing in the towel with girls/boys DA, could be announced as early as tomorrow. Lots of kids and parents mislead.

                No way. US Soccer will probably look to not support it and continue to lose money. MLS teams will run their own league with boys as that has helped but on the girls side the ECNL model has proven to work.

                  doesn't throwing in the towel and not supporting mean the same thing?

                      DA is done and dusted. Good night. What a waste it was on the girls side. It helped on the boys side but the MLS teams will run their own Academy’s and not have to waste time and money on the clubs not worthy of playing. As always it comes down to money and the DA was just run ***** backward. I feel bad for all the young kids that thought they were getting something and then everything pulled.

                          Terrible league, but this doesn’t seem likely

                            Us soccer doesn’t want to continue to lose money and they can just drop the girls DA because of obvious reasons so they will drop both.

                              And they have to do it now as teams are making rosters for 2020/2021. They will play this Spring season then be done, makes sense if they aren't going forward. It is expensive for US soccer, and it is not the right strategy as they are only looking for the unicorns/1% so don't need to underwrite an entire national league. It is a waste resources for them. But what to do I know
