I understand this team wants to stay together and not get broken up to bolster Pat's B05 DA team. Can a club have two DA teams in one age group?
They're obviously a really good team.

There’s always “Discovery League”.
No. And it doesn't work on a team-by-team basis. They'd have to become an affiliate club and the entire club would have to apply for DA status (which wouldn't start til next season and would likely start at U12 anyway).I understand this team wants to stay together and not get broken up to bolster Pat's B05 DA team.

Sometimes not everyone wants to play academy
If they are finding enough challenge for development in regular play, more power to them.
Actually, I think it's a plus, not a draw back. The DA is supposed to be made up of the best kids (or kids with the most potential), not the best teams. It's not about promoting a team to the DA, it's about picking the best kids from all the teams in your club and putting them together into an even better team. Geography can get in the way of this, especially as Pats are spread out all over LA, but that's the idea.This is one of the draw backs of a single parent club controlling the DA process and the lack of pro/rel for ussda.
