How good is this DA club ?

Do you mean how bad? It�s an average NPL team on the Canadian border that plays in GDA. Does this help?

Not good. Far too much travel for smack downs; will they even retain players? Emblematic of the issues still facing GDA.

Actually both Empire (Rochester/Buffalo) teams consistently battled it out for 7th & 8th place (out of 8) in EDP D1, for years...across all age groups. Now they are in GDA.

I am suprised since this area has had great older soccer players on mens and womens side !

I see much younger players on rosters then given age group for Empire do they have trouble feilding teams !

That is silly. Just because you are a strong player does not mean you would necessarily play for Empire United. Not everyone wants to or can spend thousands on kid soccer and put thousands of miles n the car. The travel burden for those teams is so high it is amazing they field teams at all but that does not mean they dont have lots of soccer talent.
