    New DA rules

    Anyone see the new GDA rules? 7 subs for U16/17 only. What the heck is that all about? Part time players allowed, which is a terrible decision. As a team member you're either in or out!

    Rule isn't cool. Part time players can't play high school. At least under the old rule Development Players could play high school.

      With a roster of 18 how many subs should you need when there is no re-entry?

        5 is the right amount if they really want to "develop " players. 7 is a joke.

            Totally agree... actually five is too many, let's be honest, why have any subs.
            We are playing DA to have a shot at the national team. Players 4-18 have zero chance of ever being considered. Let's just have DA be 3 v. 3, no subs. That way USSF can stop wasting time pretending to scout losers, and they won't have to pay for refs or buy so much Powerade.

                    I believe he felt a slight bump, but otherwise it went completely undetected.

                      LOL, this is cute, but the point is DA is all about "development". So explain how you develop players by reducing playing time in one game a week by increasing subs? That's the purpose of have PT or Discovery players, to fill in where necessary.
                      Oh, and why the sub numbers changed for this age group only?

                        It increases the playing time for the subs. league is trying to retain players.

                          Exactly. Ultimately, this is the conundrum USSF finds itself in. It's mission is to find 20 world-class players at each age level, whittle that group down to about 4 or 5 that have a legitimate shot to stick on the National Team.

                          Now the USSF GDA geniuses find themselves needing to change their rules to appease the practice cones, lest those practice cones sprout legs and return to ECNL to pursue their own, more practical goal, of finding a path to play college soccer.

                            How is ECNL more practical?

                            Tuition is equal.

                            Regional league travel is equal.

                            Tournaments v showcases are equal.

                            For us, the only differentiator is that ECNL has no presence nearby, so in effect it's a larger impact.

                              Really depends on where u are. Some gda clubs are more costly then the local ecnl club and the tournaments are longer requiing missed school and more expenses.

                              Some regions and age groups are more competitive in ecnl and some in gda. You need to look at each situation. Generalities do not apply in youth soccer.
