They haven't even finished the training and roster selection process for the 2004 and 2005/2006 teams. They just had their first training session on Saturday.
It should be pretty easy to tell what the final rosters are given the bulk in most ages groups are DA players. I understand the automatic invites for players that made the final cut in the Spring and that there are going to be some worthy players left off the list and some players on the list that you want to scratch your head, but when our money that is going to Calsouth to scout players is obviously not spent on scouting why even pretend to scout players? Why not just entirely use the Spring list instead of wasting money in the winter for this alleged scouting. If you think I am bitter then yes. I hate to see money wasted for this bs and when you have a player on the list that has not played soccer in over a year, the people in charge need to be held accountable. I would rather have the money spent on these scouts go to charity. Is there somewhere that lists these alleged scouts?
They can not.
This may be true for 04 players, but there are only a handful of 05's playing DA with the larger portion of 05's rostered as DP's. What money are you wasting? Is it the club costs you are complaining about because you don't pay for ODP. Just trying to understand your comments.
You are correct, not free but only $100 and you get Nike issued uniform, meals and travel covered. Pretty close to free in my book. Especially since you pay 10x that for club and still have to pay for a uniform and into a team fund account too! I'll take the $100 deal any day of the week.
Kids' travel/hotel costs are covered by Cal South. There is a meal fee of about $100 for the 4 days, but that's it. Parents costs aren't covered, but they actually aren't supposed to stay at the same hotel as the kids or travel with them (the team travels and stays in the hotel as a unit), so parent travel to watch the games is really optional.
It's also a DA rule.
