" ... but be warned, the kid really needs to be top level talent. These kids play at a very high level on the established teams."
I wish that were the case. I just haven't seen all the "top level talent" in the two DA clubs I've encountered.
Perhaps, we've diluted the talent pool or DA just isn't looking in the right places.
You may not think the DA kids are that good, but those teams and talent are substantially better than the club teams, especially as you get into the older age groups, such as U14 and up." ... but be warned, the kid really needs to be top level talent.

If you know kids who are better, you should build a team. I'll join you. Although US soccer will remain bad vis-a-vis the rest of the world for years to come, I don't think DA is missing many "prospects," certainly not in California." ... but be warned, the kid really needs to be top level talent.

Nonsense. That’s all I have to say there. Seen otherwise many times.If you haven't got a recruiting call, a tryout is kind of pointless.

No DA does not start at those age groups but galaxy will be playing in other leagues besides DA for certain age groups in the new 19-20' season.

I don’t have names to give you but it’s especially common on the youngest teams.Examples?
Messi is right . The coaches sons or cousins or somebody that knows someone. Old kids that the coaches coaches before on other teams all these will go before your kid even if your kid is good .
I know the '08 teams are going to play in an unofficial DA league that I believe the Pats are putting together. The resistance from some DA clubs to play in it is because at this age group it is still very top heavy in terms of talent. There are 3 maybe 4 teams that are way ahead of the other "DA" teams at this age.The LA Galaxy Boys' Academy will offer an identification session for their 2008, 2009 and 2010 age groups on Thursday, Feb. 7 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. PT on Field 5 on Dignity Health Sports Park.
