If your goal is to play D1 soccer the best path is DAP-very few kids make it by sticking with their club team or playing for their highschool. It is an inconvenient truth and most of the parents that knock/disparage the DAP route do so because their kids aren't good enough--it is the rare exception that turns down the academy route--especially the "fully sponsored" ones.

it is highly likely that this will occur to any/all high level teams-it is very rare for a great club team to stay intact-the academy pull is too strong to some parents and the "free" ones are to hard to pass up to just about everyone. Take a snapshot of top GS 20 now and a year from now and it will look very different.

So if a U12 team from MA is alleged to be better than all of those teams from the mid-atlantic....
And those teams are losing "4-5 of their best kids" to DAP (I fixed your spelling for you)...
- why is it completely impossible that the same could happen to a top U12 MA team?[/QUOTE]Comment

Because the kids and parents are happy. If you have a great thing you don't leave it. Top players coming not going. And NJ area over saturated with DAP teams. NJ/PAE should have 3 DAP clubs not 10. MA same level but DAP not as attractive option.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not a single starter leaving. Some strong players coming.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

To continue with your analogy of hot women--nobody is going to pass up the hottest woman for free and completely sponsored-trips to Spain/England etc. Any Valeo lunatic parent would jump at this opportunity if it were presented to their kidComment

None of them offered academy spots so you can continue to boast about Valeo when all the best kids/teams will be playing elsewhere

Academy? Sounds like fantasy Bolt dad is back. Check the humiliating scores from your u12 pre-academy league against the weaker DAP teams. Then check the results from this weekend that include the top DAP clubs. Why on earth would anyone want such a huge leap down?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Who cares? Valeo beat most of those teams. On to bigger and better things!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
