The boards aren't the reason teams don't play there.

Winter indoor or futsal is fun and does increase speed of play. But, you have to have the correct players to do it. It should be every once in a while not all the time. They all need a break during the winter season to rest up; heal; learn to miss the game again; have some down time so no overuse injuries for spring, etc. I see many kids that have overuse injuries in the spring because of the lack of rest from fall to winter to spring.

These are not professionals and even they take some down time.

"Overuse" .... the mostly abused term in youth medicine that means "yeah, not sure what caused it". Has a comprehensive study ever been done that compares single-sport athletes that play 10 months a year to multi-sport athletes that play 10 months a year at the same levels? If you are always running, jumping, cutting, and getting bumped around, you run the risk of more injury vs peers who do less or substantially less. I am still not buying this recent phenomenon without credible scientific studies to back it (none of which I have seen yet). Citations from credible sources only please.

I see Oakwood has caved in and next year, is offering a full compliment of B teams to generate cash for their boys academy teams:

PS - you can't say GDA isn't having an impact ... it is killing small clubs like OW .... wait until these loyalists get separated from MLS academies on the boy side .... what a slap in the face.

looks like they have a team at every age group and then several NPL teams for the girls who want to play high school soccer

Just because they are running tryouts for all doesn't mean they can fill all. But there certainly are girls who want HS ball and NE GDA is a mess.

Anyone know the academy costs vs their NPL team costs? Do the NPL teams practice twice/week all winter long and three times/week in the spring?

Costs for both NPL and GDA are listed on the website

Thanks! Surprised they charge the same for GDA and NPL since the NPL only plays outdoor from late March through end of May.

DA clubs are supposed to make an effort in reducing fees for DA teams. Some do, some do not. OW does fund raise and takes sponsors.

Sure they do. It's more money in Rick and Dave's pockets.
