I don't have any experience with soccer academies overseas, so I have no basis for comparison, but I do wonder what level of development a player can expect in a DA? Are they just looking to find the best players they can to make the best teams, or are they training players with the right attitude to become great all around soccer players? You hear about these stories from England where players were with an academy since 8 years old and then became first team players at 18. Are the academies here good enough to create those types of players? Does the USSDA care, or is it just a better league than the club leagues. Could a player just "luck out" and get on a good club team with a coach that develops them more effectively than a DA coach could?
