Hey advice would be to f%$k every coach possible (e.g., rec, club. odp, ynt, college, etc.) for player recommendations and to increase DD's starts/playing time. I would not call her way a gamble. It is more like prostitution.

Please keep your disrespectful view of women and potential libel to yourself.
There is no place for that discussion here and I have reported this to Dom.
How dare you say something like that- shame on you and its disgusting you have a daughter and think that is ok to talk like that.
I am also going to say one more thing.
There are people here like MAP, NOGOAL, Espola, Abdul etc, Pugalita that have been ENORMOUS help to those of us who needed help navigating this. Their opinions matter to a lot of us.
I don't know what personal issues people have with one another but I can tell you that we need all of you to keep talking, keep posting, keep helping us navigate.

I agree. I am not against the GDA. I simply don't agree with it's implementation. However, if they are willing to make tweaks that include the issues that would have hindered my players situation then great for the girls!!

Hey I agree Cali. There are many roads that lead to Rome. I'm not conceited and honestly I was simply trying to pay forward the help that I got navigating the process. No worries. I'll stick to the college soccer thread since that interests me a lot more these days. My only comment to you is getting your player committed is only the beginning. If she actually cares about playing then there is quite a bit more advice out there that hopefully you or her get somewhere. Even though the ACC is having a less than dominant year it is still quite a task to get on the pitch.
Good luck to your daughter.

Agreed...I also recall "Mongo" sharing very good, info. And while i agree with only 50%, ah, make that 30% of Zoro shared experience.....the university statistics info he shares definitely Of value for those in the recruiting/college selection process.
Point is, keep on keeping on.

How is this guy still on these boards? Can't somebody ban him?
This is your second offense, your next one will get you a Time Out for 2 weeks. All IPs associated with your username will be blocked from this site.
You are being too nice. Just dump him now.
I agree, he should be banned. There is no way he should be allowed to post anymore
Although I disagree with most MAP points of view, I like his arguments and people can read all opinions and decide for themselves. The problem with this DA thread is that we have already discussed all possible angles many times over. I think that moving forward, and until DA starts or the DA teams begin to be formed, the more interesting discussion is what ECNL is going to do in SoCal. For example, there is a very interesting thread going on in a Florida forum about this. It seems that ECNL is expanding massively in Florida, probably with the intention of kicking out existing weak ECNL clubs that took on DA. Any insight on what will happen in SoCal?

The bigger question is what clubs will ECNL add that isn't already ECNL or DA affiliated in SoCal?
Yes, that is part of what I meant. Is ECNL going to take in new clubs in SoCal? Will some ECNL clubs be kicked out? Will some DA clubs only become ECNL as well? I think all this will be very interesting.
This is the type of thing that directly affects a lot of us. It's completely confusing because the ECNL seasons ends in May. The DA doesn't start until fall. I am sure many people who are elite will already know sometime soon they will be on the 03/04 DA but what about the rest of us minions?
Where do we try out? When?
No one is saying a word .
Many people are choosing clubs based on who has DA AND ECNL.

You are assuming that the DA programs know how it will work. While the GDA will not affect my dd (she is not at that level), I am interested in how players will get to those teams. The programs that have both GDA and ECNL will likely promote from within and recruit like crazy. Those that have GDA but no ECNL will obviously promote from within and recruit too. However, LA Premier and Pats do not have "elite" girls teams at this time, but with GDA now, they will find new customers.
ECNL adding more teams in So Cal to try and combat GDA will be an interesting thing to watch develop (if true).
Last point, I strongly encourage MAP, NG, Pulguita, Mbeach, etc. to continue posting with their knowledge and experiences. It helps me for sure.

He is an Arizona guy with nothing better to do than like his posts with his other 4 screen names and dislike all of your posts. He is a tool.

Some of us minions may wait and ride this next year out on an ECNL team until the clubs get there act together and there is an idea of what your getting into. Playing time and developement are still our focus. As my DD will just be starting HS next year. Better to sign with the Devil you know then the Devil noone knows.This is the type of thing that directly affects a lot of us. It's completely confusing because the ECNL seasons ends in May.

I am going to take a wait and see approach with GDA. My DD was on a B team for her first 5 years of Club. She was able to develop a love for the game and her skill without the overt pressure of winning. Moved to a top team when the time came that she wanted to compete at a higher level. ECNL was and is still good for her. Things worked out well for her. Taking the same approach with my younger. And my dd isn't a fan of HS. Just my experience.
