I was told USSDA directed Clubs away from holding DA specific try-outs.
Correct there is actual verbiage:
Anyone interested in playing for a Girls' Academy club will need to contact the club directly for specific information regarding the player selection process. The Girls' Development Academy firmly believes that the traditional open tryout is a highly flawed and ineffective model for player identification and evaluation. The expectation is that Academy clubs move to using a more systematic scouting model to identify and recruit new talents and invite these players to trial for an extended period with the current player pool. Clubs may not charge a registration fee for tryouts, which includes fees for equipment, apparel or etc.
Once clubs are announced, you will find club contact information on the Academy website at www.ussoccerda.com.
