Boys DA rumors

Here's the 2019-2020 announcement for the girls..... http://www.ussoccerda.com/20190220-...in-Girls-Development-Academy-for-19-20-Season

And it has a little insight into the boys announcement to come......

"Expansion to Boys' Academy membership will be announced in the coming weeks. The 2019-20 regular season and event schedule will be released by June 1, 2019."

"Entering its 13th year in 2019-20, the Academy season will be comprised of teams across five age groups in the boys program: U-13, U-14, U-15, U-16/17 and U-18/19, and five age groups in the girls program: U-14, U-15, U-16, U-17 and U-18/19."

So now I guess we just wait to see if they expand the number of clubs since we know that they were accepting applications to do so.

wasn't there a rumor that U-13 will be removed in 20-21 season? it seems like boys side will eventually match girls side, U-14, U-15, U-16, U-17, U-18/19.

so, if I'm reading the threads correctly some of the B08 "DA" teams will have their own league to play in and others will play in the SCDSl for next year (2019-2020)? When you talk to the different coaches at the DA clubs they kind of beat around the bush with their answers...

I don't think anyone knows yet. Pats is trying to set up a league for the 08s, but I don't think everyone is going to join. For the teams that don't, their 08s will be a "regular club" and play in whatever leagues their club teams play in (CSL or SCDSL).

Nplwest.com a usclub soccer league will offer fall programming for those age groups. The academy clubs in that league currently will put teams in & some will get there affliates involved.

As far as other boys DA news; who's going to be the first new club to get olders besides LAFC?

Will some big names really opt out or reduce this time around? Nplwest a possibility for calendar year age groups

Are they going to expand the number of U15 teams to keep San Diego and Los Angeles separate? That is probably my biggest question.

interesting. could see adding two u15 teams in each group. and maybe rsl comes down to u15. Would put LA and SD at 9 teams each, so 24 games plus room for tournaments.

I imagine TFA will get a U15 team

They may well be deserving but the southwest div is more likely to be adding out of state teams vs local unless there are some deflections from what I heard.

The hang up currently is some east coast MLS teams who are considering breaking out so either the shoe going to drop or the will come up with some kind of compromise or changes to see those clubs play each other more frequently.

yup, and legends has been putting in competitive matches.

I suspect every current U14 team will get U15 and the current U13s will get U14. In the end, U14 will be the youngest group and it doesn't make sense for any clubs to have a single year DA.

That's a big stretch since there are already (13) U15 teams in the Southwest Division and there are very few ( only 2 for example) non full academy clubs with U15. Could see 2-3 more teams but some of those could be from out of state. Ussda boys has expanded for several years but has repeatedly said this 19-20' season there will actually be fewer teams, with u12 out of the picture not sure how that all adds up but geography is going to play a role as the other states have been making big pushes.

They've been talking about splitting the middle ages up to LA and SD like the youngers for a while now.

But I'll amend my earlier statement: I suspect every current U14 team will get U15 and the current U13s will get U14 or be dropped from the DA altogether. It doesn't make sense in the long run to have DA for just 1 or 2 years.
 
Hearing that Real Salt Lake Arizona and SC Del Sol to get U13 and U14 DA. Phoenix Rising to get U15 and older DA. No idea what division the U13 and U14 would play in (LA and SD are approx the same distance to PHX), and assuming Phoenix Rising will play in the SW division.

makes sense. RSL will be heading back - I think - to Utah and would guess they'd be in the LA group. SC del Sol and Phoenix likely would be SD. Any info on Nevada teams being added?
 
So is it safe to say that U13 is not going away anytime soon since new clubs and some existing clubs received U13 for this year. It would seem odd (but not certainly not out of the realm of possibility coming from USSF) to give a team U13 one year and take it away the next leaving them just one age group at U14.

Carl, muchas gracias.

Here's the adds that affect SoCal.

That's puts the rumors to rest, not much change but good for TFA in getting U15.

Real Salt Lake AZ & Del Sol out of AZ for the West conf gets them into some new markets.

Galaxy SD getting u16/17 was a bit of surprise but good for them. Besides Murrieta Surf with the u14 add all the other afflicate teams like OC Surf even through they we're already advertising u15 apparently didn't get in or additional teams.

Well Rebels seems to out after having just U12 this past season.

Chula Vista only has U13 this next season so unless da continues with U13 or they get additional teams they could be out also like the rebels.

At some point if U16/17 gets split could see u13 being phased out but for now that could just be a carry over rumor.

In any case if u14 players from Santa Barbara, Legends, OC Surf or others want to continue with DA guess they have to look to other clubs. Same could be said for some U12 players and those that aged out with other clubs
