Clubs with only two age groups

Have a friend at TFA. Mentioned 6 plus months ago there was talk of a deal with TFA and LAFC regarding players. LAFC would take the players that typically age out of TFA because they did not have older age groups, rather then the team leaving and going to multiple clubs. In return LAFC would offer some other resources and supports, not sure what those were. Wonder if this scenario is still in play.

Yes they where very close to a deal last March but things fell apart at almost the last minute. That scenario is no longer in play, both have moved on into other directions.

Usclub & ussda had a big impact on this and one of the reasons why it didn't happen.

Have heard from multiple DM sources that TFA is confident of getting u17 for 2020-21, and that Santa Barbara SC is confident of u15 for the upcoming season as well. Very similar language about why this is likely being used in both cases...

Any additional insight/commentary on this? Either here or via DM...

Any other clubs thinking that they may add an age group? looking at you Ventura, Legends,, LA Surf, Murrieta Surf, OC Surf (there's a theme here...) and SDSC.

LAUFA, any news on u17?

Presumably LAGSD and LAFC will do another year in u17 and then add u19 in 2021-22...
