That's confusing. This year the 04s are u12, 03s are u13, and 02s are u14.No, new: LAFC team U13(05) & U14(existing 04's which are playing U12 For LAFC) this year.
U15 (03') is for 17-18 ussda and LAFC only has the 3 team dev set: u11/12, U13, u14.
That's confusing. This year the 04s are u12, 03s are u13, and 02s are u14.
So next year the 05s should be u12s and the 04s u13. Yet your post says LAFC will have a u14 team.
I think you meant LAFC will have an 04 u13 and 05 u14 team. There will be no 03 u14 team for LAFC.
So the 03s go from u13 to u15. Right now most ussda teams have a combined u15-16 team. Is there going to be separate u15 and u16 teams next year?For Ussda the age groups make up a year in 17-18' since they were behind:
16-17' U12/04 U13/03 U14/02 U15/16 (01/00)
17-18' U12/06 U13/05 U14/04 U15/03
LAFC has the 3 development teams for 17-18: U12-U14 there is no U15/03 for them.
So the 03s go from u13 to u15. Right now most ussda teams have a combined u15-16 team. Is there going to be separate u15 and u16 teams next year?
They all skip a year next year. 2004 should be U13 this year, 2005 is U12 this year and will be U13 academy next year and 2004 will be U14 the introduction of the U12 Academy made it pretty wonkey. The U12 academy next year will be 2006That's confusing. This year the 04s are u12, 03s are u13, and 02s are u14.
So next year the 05s should be u12s and the 04s u13. Yet your post says LAFC will have a u14 team.

Separate U15 next year, U16/17 and U18/19So the 03s go from u13 to u15. Right now most ussda teams have a combined u15-16 team. Is there going to be separate u15 and u16 teams next year?

Correct. All aligned next year.Ah ha, so for 17/18 the DA age groups designations will match the Cal South ones ...
Two straight reds for players on their 06 team in Presidents Cup. Rebels will be a fine addition to DA.Add Rebels Soccer Club from San Diego to your new U-11/12 clubs.

What is the thinking behind these terminal u12 DA programs (if indeed that's what we're seeing - perhaps in a year things will look very different)? If the object of DA is to find and develop players, is u12 the right age to bounce kids out of the program? That's only 1-2 years. If a kid is in the pool to be considered a future pro at 11, is age 12 old enough to rule him out? It's particularly problematic because kids' bodies are changing so unevenly at that time. I would think after u14 would make much more sense to funnel kids out. Beginning of high school, kids interests and mentalities are really starting to change, etc. It'd give kids the chance to settle into the DA program and see if they can learn. If you're on a terminal u12 DA, you'll probably spend a good half the year jockeying for a spot at next year's DA club. Hardly the best way to develop.
Also, what's in it for the clubs? Clubs have to incur all sorts of overhead to get DA status. That's a lot of expense for just the one DA squad. Basically all they're doing is making it easier for the full academies to scout the top players. Yes, they get that pretty DA logo on their website, but come u13 there are going to be a lot of unhappy families.
The idea is to get as many players as possible into the USSDA player pool trained in the Dutch/Ajax/Cruyff/Barcelona 4-3-3 system. The pool of players will be narrowed at each age group by reducing the number of DA teams.What is the thinking behind these terminal u12 DA programs (if indeed that's what we're seeing - perhaps in a year things will look very different)?
