2007 DA

The DA dissolving was the worst thing to happen for the Barca academy. I think they will always have a draw with their name and their residential option but I think their days of being competitive are unfortunately long gone.

Bored at lunch. No clue how MLS decides whether a game is "League" or "Inter League" for non-academy teams,

Yeah, this one makes no sense to me either. For example, the MSA v Del Sol game is interleague but they are both in the Southwest League and EPP. So, yeah, I don't get it.

Casa Grande and online schooling, no thanks. Do any other academies other than RSL and Union have legit in-person schooling?

The schooling at Union is a joke. They have to water down each subject to accommodate all levels, languages, etc.. A supposed ninth grader is still doing basic arithmetic rather than the Algebra/Geo most curriculums follow. Hope most have a plan B. If it doesn’t work out there, they will be academically behind and will struggle to get the grades necessary to get into a decent college.

That's disappointing to hear. We were very impressed with the school facilities, curriculum, and the staff's resumes when we visited a number of years ago. Sounds like that its more form over substance, although I haven't heard any complaints from the family whose son goes there.

Does anyone know if yellow cards carry over to the next season or does it reset? Thanks

As in 2022-2023? Surely no. MLS Next uses IFAB unless specifically outlined in Rules and Regulations. Nothing in there about some yellow card hangover.
 
Rumors are going around about SD Surf and Pats switching to MLS Next for the upcoming season. Does anybody know if true?
 
watfly said:
If true that would obviously be a big blow to ECNL Boys, at least in SoCal. I thought it would take a few years to sort out the two leagues...its going pretty quickly.

Same. I thought the “play at a high level but still get high school” draw of the ECNL would have some effect. I’m also surprised.

if that happens, where do you think Surf and Pats would slot into the MLS Next Rankings?

LAFC scrimmaged Pats at the end of the season last year. They’re the same as Nomads or LAUFA. Surf would likely be in and around Strikers. Go from fighting for 1st in the division to fighting for 3rd.

Hey, someone asked about the schools. Talked to a Galaxy mom yesterday who is also an educator. Her kid is able to take online AP classes and she’s pleased. She said her son is taking the same class she teaches. She’s gone over the syllabus and is in communication with the teachers. She said it’s been better for her kid because they miss less class time because of travel and able to manage better. She seemed happy.

When the DA was around Pats was the only club that gave LAFC and Galaxy a fight at every level. Looking at Surf, Pats and Strikers if you rank them by their best team by age I think you get something like this: U13 Surf/Strikers/Pats, U14 Strikers/Surf/Pats, U15 Surf/Strikers/Pats, U16 Strikers/Pats/Surf, U17 Surf/Strikers/Pats, U18 Strikers/Surf/Pats.
That said the best team of each club be: Strikers U14, Pats U16 and Surf U15.
