I will miss and he will too the region cup battles, future state cups, disney tournaments, etc. Most of the best players and for sure top teams are DA and that's just the way it is going forward. Even though I think the DA is the best way to develop top talent, its light years behind european academy programs making any young american players dream of becoming a pro, highly unlikely to occur. I guess US soccer has to start somewhere to close the gap on the rest of the world.
It definitely makes you question if its even worth all the chaos created and memories missed by changing age groups, breaking up teams, funneling players to the DA, having to sit out middle school, high school, and spending your wknds on a bus to play 1 game 3 to 4 hours away. Is all that effort really improving soccer in this country and any single player's chance to become a pro??? Just not fully convinced yet, but at this point playing outside of the DA is an even worse option because US Soccer has made it that way.
