Um no ussda is not endorsing any such thing. Don't confuse what some club is calling there b teams as a endorsement.

Just the fact its on the Actual Academy website surely means they don't have an issue with clubs expanding their Academy programming... And actually think it's a good idea. The impressions (eyes) on that specific homepage must be high, why would they give that ad space to a club to promote something they weren't endorsing, it is in a public forum after all. Why would they even bother putting it on their site?

Seattle Reign is one of the top NWSL clubs as well. This Academy2 may have more legs than whats been discussed on this forum, other areas in the country look to be embracing the idea fostered here in SoCal.

Now let's not try and get people to drink any more kool-aid than they have already been given up in the Pasadena area Mr. R.
Reign2 is the B team. What league will they play in? Probably the same league they play in now whatever that is. I don't see US Soccer endorsing a Northwest Conference2 league with all of the clubs in the Northwest Conference. I see the announcement that Seattle Reign is partnering with Seattle United and Eastside FC. Seattle United and Eastside were going to lose their players to Reign anyways so better to get in bed with the enemy you know.
OR
Better yet, they will be the feeder program in to Reign because, like most of the NWSL teams, they have no feeder program. This is what is happening in other parts of the country with the NWSL teams. They are partnering with local clubs to take their players when they become DA age and the rest of them get the glorified "B" team name with the promise of "maybe, if you work really hard and pay the most, you can be a DP player" promise.
The rest of the country isn't looking to embrace an idea "fostered" here in SoCal. You make me laugh.
US Soccer endorsed the partnership because this is how the NWSL clubs survive with their DA teams. They certainly can't afford full-fledge youth programs themselves. They have to partner to take the players from somewhere else.
A summary again for those in the bozo brigade. US Soccer endorsed the partnership. Look for more announcement like this from across the country where there are NWSL teams.
US Soccer did not endorse DA2.
I'm still laughing. Your comments really are funny.
 
Great step by the Reign, LH and TK know their stuff.
Going to be an exciting match tomorrow at Silverlakes as well, Seattle Reign vs UCLA.

Lots of positives for teams and clubs working together. Going to be interesting as we head towards end of ECNL season and Academy teams finalize rosters. Lots of opportunities for kids. Props to Seattle Reign for taking the first step with Academy2 formation, working with US Soccer, broadening their base, collaboration between clubs vs competing and I'm looking forward to seeing their teams down in Cali.
 
So much time wasted on this subject. No one knows anything because DA hasn't begun yet. I don't care what club you are or who you are no one knows a thing. ECNL is not DA nor is SCDSL, or CRL. It is a complete unique entity. Girls DA will even be vastly different than the boys side. Training is new, game numbers, how coaches train, and the technical and tactical message to girls will be different than in years last. No club has gone through it, no one knows a damn thing. Who cares what club did what last year, or two years ago. Who cares about DA2. Everybody pays money to play club. Oh please with the fully funded nonesense. There's a huge foot ready to drop on that any day now. If your kid can play than fine they can play. DA is nothing more than an easier method for US Soccer to keep tabs on and maybe maybe maybe find some new girls. And when I say new girls I mean like 5 across the entire country. That's it. So DA2, ECNL, SCDSL whatever. The base of girls that can actually play soccer at any age group is extremely small. Like small enough that we all basically know them, or we have heard of them. So to say that a player from DA2 will beat out and compete with a highly motivated skilled tactical full time DA player and take her spot is quite honestly not being honest to those parents. Can it happen? Sure it can. But the place where those kids play is the least of their concern.

More exciting will be the match prior to the UCLA match. Slammers ECNL vs Legends Academy at 5:30PM.

No different than any club with teams in DA. Any player within a club with DA has the potential to be a Development player.

However, Development players are not a promise and shouldn't be offered to player as such.

DP can't be activated until 6 week of the season, mid oct and only can play up to 6 games & they ave no playing time mins. They are not used much; between 1-3 per team or none at all

Don't sign-up for a team thinking DP's are going to used in numbers or offered, with 18+ on most rosters unless there is injuries or something DP's maybe not be used or play for that matter.

Ok so here's my question regarding the stated US Soccer DP rules: How is one to tell the difference between a "false promise" and a "true promise"? :rolleyes:

There are no promises for DP's. A example of a false one would be promising DP's to players during or soon after tryouts or/and to help keep or retain a player in a club.

DP's must regularly train with the da players before than can even be considered. They are considered add's, each club has a limited number of those once the season starts.

After first week in Oct a club can consider a individual player plan for a potential DP player if they have been registered and played with a Academy Club’s non-Academy team.

"U.S. Soccer reserves the right to refuse the addition of a DP player if it is determined that the club is mismanaging their allocation of the DP pool or if it is negatively impacting their FT players"
 
Great marketing and clever use of semantics - it say DA without saying DA . . . . notice it is a developmental player league for the CLUBS who also have DA. It does not say it's the "US Soccer Developmental Player League." So it's an impressive name for the B teams at these clubs? And with stacked rosters on the true DA teams and limited substitutions how much playing time are these girls going to see with the DA? I'm sure many hopeful parents will love the idea that this is almost as good as being on a DA team.
