Girls DA U13 in 2018-2019

The way I see it, as long as the club is not in jeopardy of losing its DA status and they're doing all the right things as Striker pointed out, who gives a rats ass about the W-L record. They will all be at the exact same showcases and be seen by the same college coaches or national team scouts.

I think you'll see as your DD gets older it's more about her and less about the team (of course, as long as she's on a team that gets to the showcases). If you're on a DA team, then it's all about your player.

Is there a DA club in jeopardy of losing their DA status?

I am not of the too much too soon perspective. I am common sense. Ten year old DA is hands down the worst idea I have ever heard of in My entire life and I am praying that it is not going to be the 04 model but rather some type of hybrid due to developing bodies. Let’s wait to see the press release. I have faith in sanity prevailing and a part of the picture not being conveyed

Understood and agreed Striker --

I wandered over here from NTX as I was looking for some inside info on Silverlakes Thanksgiving DA comp and came across this.

We started up this year with U13 DA ... I believe all but 2 of the clubs in Frontier Division have U13 sides. This group is considered a 'Pilot' program and the teams aren't held to the same USSDA standards as U14+. Only train 3x per week, kids are able to participate in other sports, no scores/standings, etc.

As Lastman stated, we practice at least 2 Days a week at El Camino College in Torrance. Most Monday’s we are at Game Ready Performance for Strength/Conditioning/Recovery and Wed at Redondo Union for Technical Training (held by BeastMode).

Is the same schedule used for keepers?

I have to admit I like Beach FC style of play..they keep it simple with good soccer IQ from what I've seen at 04 and above.
 
no U13 for DA, it was never confirmed before. Clubs just promoted it because they were pushing for it to happen.. US Youth Soccer has ruled not to run the U13 program
 
The DA will be combined 2005/2006. Majority will
come from 2005's with only 2-3 2006. Most 2006 won't play academy until the year after with a sprinkle of 2007. So it's just 2006 that are capable
of playing up.

I will be surprised to see 2-3 2006 players playing up on a team in DA, I believe each age group will have a large enough talent pool to pull from. It is a lot for the 2006 girls to keep up with the DA practice schedule/etc. I guess there is always an exception to the rule.

Yea. I agree. It would very few. But if you look at the DA teams even now there are always 2 that are playing a year up anyways...

Yes that's correct and I verified that girls da starts at u14 for 18-19 and there is only 4 age group brackets

People are reading too much into a PowerPoint that referenced u13/u14. For the Southwest there is only u14 the u13 is only for frontier and it's not combined or a composite age group.

But the US Soccer PowerPoint says the first band is "05/06". I'm not sure how people can read too much into that, as it says what it says. If people are reading too much into it, what would be the appropriate interpretation?

And the 06s that play up should be prepared to be surprised as well. They haven’t been playing on a full size field and the limited substitutions will require a great deal of endurance and running that they may not be prepared for. Not dissing the 06s just think they could be in for a surprise.

There are several, very good ‘06’s that already play up so they’ve been playing on a big field all season.

Most ‘06’s aren’t already playing up so they will struggle with the transition to the big field and the lack of playing time. I strongly suggest that Buyer Beware for most ‘06’s.
