I'm assuming this stops at some age group, but for U12, they have no linesmen! This is the elite level and you just rely on the ref to make the call? I get that records don't matter at this age group but at least try to get the calls right. We had linesmen in AYSO!!! Poor refs too... everybody let's them have it when they get one wrong, which is often.

I hate the holier than thou attitudes of some parents. Open your eyes people - the system is good but has many, many flaws that keep it from being great.

I totally understand that for parents and kids that are not good enough for it, there can be a certain level of animosity that will come out and they will attack the system.

I will admit we did seem to get very lucky with a club coach that is much better than the DAP coach AND interested in teaching my son. The goal was for my son to become the best possible player, not to just be able to say he plays DAP. I see many DAP players get to college only to sit on the bench. Approx. 9 months later, we just attended an ID showcase along with several of the players my son played DAP with. Watching them play against each on mixed teams verified that we made the right decision. My son was shining and I couldn't have been happier. I realize that I'm not objective but I fairly sure the coaches watching would agree.
