How does Arsenal still have an Academy?

God said:
Cappie didn't ask how I measure quality, he asked what indicators do I use to measure purpose of an academy.

If you believe that the USMNT automatically translates to quality with exception of Pulisic, I don't see why we're even having this discussion.

...or a 21yr old playing for an MLS top club. You're delusional.

There has to be a solution in your argument at some point....?

To justify academy status you brought up the Arsenal jack-off team as if it were the 2nd cuming of Jesus.

I then proceeded that sole purpose of an academy is to produce quality players not WINS.

Mission-

"The U.S. Soccer Development Academy program provides education, resources, and support to impact everyday club environments in order to develop world-class players."

BTW, where does the trolling normally happen, on a private forum?

The solution for Arsenal's dilemma is for them to solve not mines.

Are you gonna continuing babbling away or is there any other reason why you think they should have academy status?

Playoff teams aren't good enough.

Yes yes yes yes yes
How do humanists feel about Jesus? I say of Jesus, as all humanists do, “If what he said is good, and so much of it is absolutely beautiful, what does it matter if he was God or not? but Son you're not God above on this blog.

Box you are correct lag da is totally different. Lagsb does not have DA status, but rumor has it will be applying next year. With affiliates like lagsd getting da status if they apply it'll likely happen.

Lagsb will still send its top kids to lag for tryouts, just like other clubs. Right now we have a pretty deep pool that could be competitive, our 2004 elites have scrimmaged a couple DA 2004s with good results. Hard for us though to play 9v9 when we are not practicing that way now. But fun to play the DA teams and not get too beat up.

Lagsb getting da status helps keeps our players with our club. We lost 4 boys to DAs this summer, tough
Way to start a season.

If we are counting....9 former LAGSB players (6-'04, 3-'05) are on the U12 LAG DA roster, while two others from last years roster went to other DA teams (RSC, TFA). I think it has opened the door for other players in the club to get noticed and play where they should be playing, and agree that if LAGSB apply (and get) DA status for next year it would help maintain some roster consistency. There is still the accolade of being part of a MLS club that will be tough to sell against.
Considering the DA season doesn't end until June will be quite interesting. Club tryouts in March...DA in June. I smell 3-4 months of turmoil.....
 
I have noticed a marked drop-off in the level of competition in the top tiers of CSL and SCDSL with the movement of many top players to DAs, especially in the 2004 age group. I think it may hasten the merger of CSL and SCDSL. Or it will hasten the movement of top teams still in CSL and SCDSL to ECNL. Or by adding more and more DAs, US Soccer will relagate CSL and SCDSL to Recreational League status. Either way it shakes out I see some big changes coming.

National Cup will also be diminished this year.

It is too bad, but I guess the more pyramid-like youth soccer structure will ultimately promote better US soccer.

Perhaps it is a boon for High School soccer?

In SCDSL, there are twice as many teams in flight 2 as flight 1. If US Soccer grabs more talent with more DA teams, doesn't that just free up room for top flt 2 players to replenish the ranks of flt 1?

Isn't this all "working as intended", by giving top players more options?

Exactly. Flight 2 players have 'replenished the ranks' in Flight 1 and it shows.

The level of play in Flight 1 is markedly lower than last Fall as a result of losing so much talent in one fell swoop to the DAs.

This was an outcome that could have been predicted, but it is disappointing for those of us left in Flight 1 nonetheless.
 
So we're witnessing a migration of talent from flt 1 to DA and an opportunity for talented flt 2 to progress. Not sure what you are complaining about, seems like what should be happening big picture to develop the most kids.
 
Not really complaining, more making some observations - such as I think CSL and SCDSL will merge.

But yes, it creates a tough dynamic for talented kids in Flight 1 -

Stay in Flight 1 which is now more like Flight 2 and less competitive, meaning less development for your kid, or

Go to DA which has its own challenges - more travel, more soccer hours, no high school soccer, etc.

Is High School Soccer anything but a social experiment these days? Isn't everything that matters going on at the top club levels?
 
Playing for a top HS team still gets you some exposure for college and the HS sports experience is a ton of fun so, to many it is a real negative that DAs don't allow HS soccer.

HS soccer also allows you to play with brothers and friends outside your age group year.
