That's another problem with the DA academy. If they over-saturate a team with equally good players, only so many are getting the minutes they need in a real match. Sure, it teaches kids to fight for a starting position. But at this age, they need an equal amount of competitiveness and playing time. Which brings up the question: Do kids risk losing playing time to get "maximum" exposure to college and national team scouts and play academy, or do they have a better opportunity at more playing time against good teams as well, but risk not getting the most exposure? It's truly amazing the amount of politics that is in a kids' sport.
