My son is loving it and having a good time and at the end of the day, that is what is most important to me and should be for all of you too.

It's fine to pursue that as a personal requirement, but it's not an appropriate standard for elite training.

This is all correct. What was the point of making this change to DA if the top teams at each club were playing premier now just play each other in DA?

OYSA Premier is now comprised of (1) a few of the clubs without DA programs (e.g., Bend and RVT) and (2) the second teams from the clubs that field DA teams.

So, the Portland teams play themselves in DA. ADF, RVT and Bend have an easier time in Premier than they used to because they are playing the second teams for Westside, Washington Timbers, and FCP. Once those clubs align with USDA, everything will go back to being mostly how it was.

It's little more than moving the pieces around the board.

OYSA premier can be divided into several groups:

1) Remote TA teams (Eugene, Bend, Rogue Valley)
2) DA "B" teams (Copa, Navy, WT FC Red2)
3) Mainly Latino teams (4H, IFC, Cuervos)
4) Two other local teams that mainly serve a specific community (Salmon Creek, Hillsboro)
5) ADF, which is kind of in a category all its own.

And the B teams are presently concentrated at the bottom of the standings.

The b teams are all the oysa teams period

Don't be so sure.

I suspect that quite a few of the OYSA premier teams could beat Eastside's DA, and the teams at the top of the table might even be able to take down a few other DA teams. Crossfire and WashT's DAs are probably better than anyone in OYSA, and perhaps FC as well, but there is considerable overlap between the two leagues.

DA should be cut in half and consolidated. Top half would have something approaching quality, while the bottom half would have a vastly improved experience playing competitively in OYSA. Ironically, it's probably the bottom half DA parents who want to preserve the system as is.

I agree. The way it stands now is not elite at all. It's just the A team for seven clubs. If it were narrowed down to say two teams, of truly the best in the area, who would they play? That seems to be one issue (of many) TA is facing.

You should go watch my sons training sessions and compare them to your sons. Then you’ll see what people are talking about

Agreed. It is not for some anonymous poster on here to decide. It is for the parents to decide. I am very happy with my son's coaching, training and the overall experience.

Hahaha...Sorry, I am the one who posted "The Crossfire kid? BS...." My son played ODP with the Crossfire kid. Much like another poster said, my son really likes him and considers him a friend. He is a good kid. Not cocky and certainly doesn't talk trash. He just plays all out the entire game.
I must say that when my son's team played FC, i didn't see or hear any of that from the FC kid either. Nor did my son say anything negative about him either. Probably a Westside parent trying to start something.

"Crossfire Kid" sounds like the name of a Western outlaw...

I agree. The Crossfire & FC boy seemed pretty quiet when we played them as well. Someone is trying to start something where there is nothing, or the maybe confusing the FC boy with the other FC boy who is notorious for pushing, shoving & trampling others. I didn't see him when we played FCP though.

Here is the most recent list of the top goal scorers for USDA.
FCP & BSC each have five game results and Crossfire has 4, so with that being said the boys from Capital & Washington Timbers who each have five goals in three games are truly leading the pack (1.66 goals/game). Top three will fade a bit as their teams have bye weeks and the others play.

Some teams are very complete, notching several players with multiple goals. These are the teams that will prove to be difficult in stopping and will be at the top of the table by the end of the league.

Updated now that the Westside vs Eastside results have posted.
