GIRLS DAII

Yes, WCFC is already at the OC Great Park. They had some of their ECNL teams (and non-ECNL teams) training there the same day my dd trained with Strikers last season. Multiple WCFC girls teams were training when I was at the OCGP this past Thursday.

LA Galaxy uses OCGP along with Slammers. I don't think I have seen any Slammers ECNL teams at OCGP, but they might be there on the days my dd doesn't train.

The best news about this announcement from Blues is that the HC's and DOC's from Slammers, WCFC, Strikers, Pats, Blues, LAGOC and probably others now can recruit from their home training field. No more hiding out in the parking lot of other clubs practice facilities.
 
This will all last a year or two then people will get the picture it is all a money scam and it will be

So...let us see if I have this right.

- They are creating a league where these 10 teams compete against the others.
- These teams will also continue to play in the CA leagues..in AZ we call it the State League or APL.
- Toss in a showcase or 2
- In theory some girls will be "developmental" players and maybe get called up.

Am I missing anything?

Same coaches - same players - same clubs but with one extra day per week of training and a lot more rules, time and cost for the little kids! All gift wrapped in a super cool fancy new name! Sounds good to me? Where do we send the checks!

No checks. It's been already directly taken out of your account. You'll find out soon!

How many parents will now be eying all the other training sessions from clubs at same field comparing to our current daughters teams. This could be fun! :)
 
So have any DA2/Reserve/Academy2 teams, what ever you want to call them, been given a schedule of what tournaments you will be entering from now to the summer?
 
DA1 starts in August from my understanding. No one know details on DA2, but Manchester CUP, Surf Cup, offering below: And that starts end of May.

Age Groups based off the birth year for the 2017/2018 season:
USSDA Tournament Dates: 7/28/2017 - 7/31/2017 (day off 7/30)
BU-18/19 USSDA 1999/2000
BU-16/17 USSDA 2001/2002

So with the age groups- like the old age system, will the GU- being moving up every year? For example the 2002/2001, will, come 2018-2019, they'll be GU-17/18? Or do the 01's move up to play GU-18/19 with the 00's?

From what I have heard, next year DA may go age pure for 00- 01-02-03-04. Stop confusing things with the U-anything. Just refer to birth year.

I think that it is a new team every year with half the previous team moving up. Creating a bottleneck at U16. Half of the U15's will graduate to being cut and half will graduate to U16/17. Maybe less than half depending upon how good the previous years U16's were.

Is dual age banding good for their development when players don't peak until their 20s? It seems that the niche that is filled by dual age banding was served by high school (playing against older players).

We will find out in a couple of months. I truly hope that it works out. Playing with kids and there parents is no bueno.

USSDA has indicated that by the 19-20 season all age groups will be single calendar year. If all goes according to what has been discussed the two combo age groups will be reduced to one in 18-19 before they all go single calendar year in 19-20. In the fall the applications will open and the age groups will be published.

Next USSDA season starts September 1, 2017

Manchester City Cup created four (4) USSDA age groups for both the boys and girls. U-18/19 USSDA 1999/2000, U-16/17 USSDA 2001/2002, U-15 USSDA 2003, U-14 USSDA 2004

On the girls side will be interesting to see if they can fill those brackets, being new and all? might just be 4-5 or so teams in some of the age groups. 2002's are the marquee AG @ this years Man City Cup.

There are other tournaments that are starting to create USSDA brackets also. https://lagcup.lagalaxy.com/ for selected age groups
9v9 – U12 Boys DA (2006/07)
11v11 – U13 Boys DA (2005)
11v11 – U14 Girls DA (2004)

As far as the DPD/L/2 girls reserve proposals, who knows? that can apply for the 2nd brackets at Man City Cup and hope to get in? Maybe Coast Soccer league will make some exceptions and creation a Bronze Unicorn Division or something like that?
 
My daughter plays on the Galaxy DA3 team and maybe it's not the top team but at least we're in the Development Academy and will be seen by the same US Soccer scouts!
