Found this in the current DA rules:

Substitutions: All U15/16 and U17/18 Academy games will have a maximum of five(5) substitutions per game with no reentry across three “opportunities”.
U13, U14 Academy games will have a maximum of seven (7) substitutions per game with no reentry across three “opportunities”. The U12 Academy games will have unlimited substitutions with reentry.

With fewer subs at the older age groups, you will have 2 girls not play if a team brings 18 players.

For the Boys last season that was the case. Could very well be the same for the girls DA in 17-18' but haven't seen the official posted substitution rules for them yet but I would guess they will be the same.

In any case does depend on what coaches do to some extent but generally in DA the starters get the majority of playing and subs not very much and likely less minutes than their used to.

Normally unless injured starters are not sub'ed prior to the half. At half some but not many coaches will make a sub, most wait until about half way or later until 2nd half to start subbing.

Some close rival games will see almost no of very few subs. The blowout games or vs less comp will see subs starting or getting into the games more often.

Overall most coaches I've seen sub only about 3-4 players when they have 7 subs or 2-3 when there is 5 subs per game if that many, some more some less but rarely do you see the full 5-7 possibles get into games. 3-4 many only get 10-20 minutes of play typically with the 7's and 1-3 with the 5's, YMMV.

Bright coaches will flourish under these settings. Bright coaches who puts winning over development will end up with some lame Stallions when it's said and done, plus some upset parents who's dds didn't get much game time action. Hope that makes sense iT was truly a freestyle

Agree . Bright parents will not gravitate to superstar teams unless their DD is a top five player. Parents haven't figured this one out yet which I believe will hurt recruitment. I anticipate massive movement once players on certain DA teams realize 15 minutes a game while the coach showcases his favorite six isn't going to get you noticed
 
To me, the toughest decision for a parent of any serious player is this.........Do I try to get my dd on the very best team possible where she might only play half or a third of the game and is not considered an impact player for that team - OR - do I get my dd on a lesser team where she plays the majority of the games and is considered an impact player? I have my opinion on this matter, but what works for me and my dd doesn't apply to every other parent and dd.

Half or third is very different than 10-15 minutes.
I am seeing DA teams that are playing girls 10-15 min and parents are bragging about being on that team.
If your daughter is playing half a game, enjoying her coach and teammates and is training hard that is an extremely different situation than what I described.
If you have a DD who wants to play college, is barely playing or the 13-18 on a star roster it's not smart. There is not enough of his talk when discussing placement.
 
PSS there is room for one unicorn per team and position. You got a good middie? Be careful about going to a team where one already exists. It's a waste of time. Again something people are sorely lacking in thinking about for whatever reason this year

'Highest level team with best coach' -vs- best team since we tend rate teams based on record. Sometimes the lesser team has the better development. I would hope people are paying club fees for development and not winning games or prestige (although I know that is usually not the case).

We have found the "best club" had the two worst coaches of our age group. The other "best club" had one great developer with stacked team so play time limited. Our best choice was a "lower team" with the best coach and total minutes.
It's a math equation!
 
Watched a few 01/02 games. 10-15 college coaches on the sideline. The talent difference was pretty shocking, as reflected by the scores. The ECNL clubs seemed to do well, with some exceptions, the new DA-nonECNL clubs seemed woeful.

Pats 00/99 crushed PSV union 4-0. Yes, Im filled with glee.

Good start for Pats.

4-0 isn't crushing another team, but GDA 04: SD Surf - 11 vs Burlingame - 1 is crushing and then stepping on them again just to make sure nothing is left.

From lurking in the 04 forum, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Surf team that won 11-1 is the B team as the DA team is in Kansas or Texas or wherever playing in the USYS National Finals.

From also lurking on the 04 forum, I saw that Burlingame team is a flight 2/3 level team. I would expect a much different result tomorrow if it is in fact surf B playing against solar.
