So is it safe to say that U13 is not going away anytime soon since new clubs and some existing clubs received U13 for this year. It would seem odd (but not certainly not out of the realm of possibility coming from USSF) to give a team U13 one year and take it away the next leaving them just one age group at U14.
Premier only applied for U14. They're just moving the current U13 up (and the current U12 to U13). They don't have a current U14 DA-level team to move up to U15. They also have ECNL which is going to spread the resources pretty thin up there... I suspect Premier will get U15 next year and then stop at the 3 age groups.LA Premier only for u14...
This is the way I understand itso, if I'm reading the threads correctly some of the B08 "DA" teams will have their own league to play in and others will play in the SCDSl for next year (2019-2020)? When you talk to the different coaches at the DA clubs they kind of beat around the bush with their answers...
Correct. Our 08s were told they’ll play in the NPL West...This is the way I understand it
Any updates to the rumors of splitting Boys U16/17 DA?
The lead guy for one prominent DA club was telling parents this summer that it was a done deal for next season (2020-21), although that seems a bit premature to make such a definitive statement.
Part of US soccer’s problem is their approach. They do not understand basic learning theory.It’s been a “done deal” for 3 years straight now. But anytime someone at US soccer talks they want the mixed group and don’t want to split it. They want the attrition. It’s part of the weeding out process. Not saying it’s right just that’s how I’ve heard it justified. Maybe this is the year but that’s been said every year I’ve been around it.
