There are no strict guarantee's for playing time in the DA league, rather mandates and recommendations
More of an honor system where the individual coaches manage playing time, during the reviews and audits clubs will hear from the scouts and whatnot if there out of balance much. Players who don't get the recommended minutes have options during the transfer windows .
With the two teams in the U12 age group there is some flexibility, often what happens often is there is "a" and "b" groups and kids positioning themselves to play with one group or the other during the week.
Don't pursue DA if you're concerned much about even playing time, most teams & coaches care more about the results than if x player has played in x minutes or started x games.
If you think your player will/or can be a starter, has been outstanding in their prior/current league play DA might be a good fit.
DA is a big commitment, there are some tradeoffs and you really have to be dedicated for the 3-4 practices a week & 10-month season to make things out well. Some young kids might have the skills, desire but they also have to/show some maturity to do more, improve and be consistent week in and week out.
