      I believe girls entering their senior year in HS that are coming into GDA will get waivers to continue to play HS this year, although many may prefer not to.

        They don't need a waiver rising seniors are grandfathered in and can ply HS. Waiver only applies to non seniors

          Makes sense. Don't want to "waist" time.

            Not according to Thorns. Said high school seniors only can apply for waivers and waivers will be given first to players from teams that made qtr finals.

            Anyway, who wants to play HS when you have a great new GDA league and Tobin as your tech director? HS will soon be a thing of the past like it is for the boys due to DA.

                    Two collage signings over two years isvgreat. Not matter if 100 girls got into college outside GDA.

                      GDA is a pro track. The goal is professional soccer or USWNT. That's what you don't seem to appreciate.

                        Only seniors that were starters on HS teams that were semifinalists in last fall's playoffs. That's about zero.

                          Pro track to what? There is no pro league in this country that pays a living wage.

                            Ok. So how many former Thorns academy players are playing professionally in any paying league anywhere in the world? If that's what the academy should be graded by - path to the pros - please tell us what the success rate is.

                              Time will tell. 2017/18 is the inaugural year. Best of luck to all the young ladies going into this new and exciting program!

                                Thorns aren't a college track. It's for pros.
