So if you play DA2, what is the promise the programs are using to recruit? that you have a "better chance" to make the DA program if someone leaves or drops out? Better exposure vs playing on a ECNL team? Cheaper? Better training?
I can only respond related to my experience. There have been no promises to promotion. I guess if my dd is playing well and offers something to the DA I team that they currently don't have, it is conceivable that she could be promoted. However, neither her or I want a promotion to the DA I team and the commitment to additional practices.
As for cost, I think it will end up being the same as last year.
We chose to follow the coach, who happened to join a GDA club.
