Girls DA U13 in 2018-2019

I know you're of the "too much too soon" perspective, but I have to correct you. We're discussing D.A. For next year's u13, so 2006s.

The way I see it, as long as the club is not in jeopardy of losing its DA status and they're doing all the right things as Striker pointed out, who gives a rats ass about the W-L record. They will all be at the exact same showcases and be seen by the same college coaches or national team scouts.

I think you'll see as your DD gets older it's more about her and less about the team (of course, as long as she's on a team that gets to the showcases). If you're on a DA team, then it's all about your player.
 
I took a look at Pateadores and their Girls D.A. results are pretty poor across all age groups. If any of the olders parents pop in here can you let us know what they think is the cause of this? Coaching? Players? I know other D.A. clubs had ECNL and a "winning reputation" that can help recruit.

Fully funded sounds nice, but losing every week by the big margins I've seen doesn't sound appealing to me. Not including this weekend's games: U-14 has been outscored 20-7, U-15 has been outscored 14-4, U16/17 has been outscored 22-4, U17/18 has been outscored 28-12.

Pats parents, I'm not trying to offend you :)

I know a few parents of players on Pateadores and they say many of the parents are not happy with the results but are beyond happy with the training. I know Pats had some trouble getting talent on the team as expected because parents have no idea what is important. I have seen a few of their games at U15 and U16/17 - a handful of the girls belong in flight 1. Heads down, blind passes, etc. I know the 3 coaches and they are really, really good coaches. I hear they run specific formations and the girls have to make game footage videos of where formations failed or players failed their position etc.

Is there a DA club in jeopardy of losing their DA status?
 
I am not of the too much too soon perspective. I am common sense. Ten year old DA is hands down the worst idea I have ever heard of in My entire life and I am praying that it is not going to be the 04 model but rather some type of hybrid due to developing bodies. Let’s wait to see the press release. I have faith in sanity prevailing and a part of the picture not being conveyed

Understood and agreed Striker --

I wandered over here from NTX as I was looking for some inside info on Silverlakes Thanksgiving DA comp and came across this.

We started up this year with U13 DA ... I believe all but 2 of the clubs in Frontier Division have U13 sides. This group is considered a 'Pilot' program and the teams aren't held to the same USSDA standards as U14+. Only train 3x per week, kids are able to participate in other sports, no scores/standings, etc.

Well that gives me hope!
 
As Lastman stated, we practice at least 2 Days a week at El Camino College in Torrance. Most Monday’s we are at Game Ready Performance for Strength/Conditioning/Recovery and Wed at Redondo Union for Technical Training (held by BeastMode).
Is the same schedule used for keepers?

I have to admit I like Beach FC style of play..they keep it simple with good soccer IQ from what I've seen at 04 and above.
 
no U13 for DA, it was never confirmed before. Clubs just promoted it because they were pushing for it to happen.. US Youth Soccer has ruled not to run the U13 program
 
The DA will be combined 2005/2006. Majority will
come from 2005's with only 2-3 2006. Most 2006 won't play academy until the year after with a sprinkle of 2007. So it's just 2006 that are capable
of playing up.

I will be surprised to see 2-3 2006 players playing up on a team in DA, I believe each age group will have a large enough talent pool to pull from. It is a lot for the 2006 girls to keep up with the DA practice schedule/etc. I guess there is always an exception to the rule.

Yea. I agree. It would very few. But if you look at the DA teams even now there are always 2 that are playing a year up anyways...

Yes that's correct and I verified that girls da starts at u14 for 18-19 and there is only 4 age group brackets

People are reading too much into a PowerPoint that referenced u13/u14. For the Southwest there is only u14 the u13 is only for frontier and it's not combined or a composite age group.

Prepare to be surprised.....

But the US Soccer PowerPoint says the first band is "05/06". I'm not sure how people can read too much into that, as it says what it says. If people are reading too much into it, what would be the appropriate interpretation?
