SILVER ELITE
Looking at the coaches lists for Silverlakes Vs Surf Cup.
Mostly DI at Silverlakes and Surf has some DI and more DII DIII & NAIA
DI coaches aren't recruiting 99, 00, 01s
Silver lakes for the younger ages for sure.

If other clubs do this, this is a significant + for playing DA.
Are you sure you are not looking at last year's list? I wa curious to see which coaches would attend given that DA teams are not playing.
This seems odd is it true?
Last year a lot of coaches were listed on Silverlakes that did not in fact go. I know this.
Just because is a list doesn’t mean anything would love some verification.
I have a hard time believing Surf is rolling over

And where will this information be posted? It seems like you can never find the schedules for the boys events at the USSDA website.

Last year we contacted a number of coaches that were listed as attending on the Silverlakes website. None said they were planning to attend, and a few hadn't heard of the tournament. I would take their list with a grain of salt.

D1 coaches aren't recruiting 00's and 01's? What are you drinking??? You know 15-20 00 and 01 girls get recruited weekly (yes weekly) by D1 schools and this will continue for a long while until it shifts to 01's and o2's in April 2018 or so. Now 99's is another story - maybe a half dozen a month - maybe.

Interesting. Please share a few of the coaches you contacted that were on last years list that in fact "hadn't heard of the tournament" or didn't actually attend even thought listed. #curious
I’m gonna bet you don’t get a real answer. There are a few on this forum who pop up to sh!t on anything SilverLakes right before the events take place. I’m definately not a SilverLakes homer (despite my dD’s club affiliation and the fact we play in just about every SilverLakes event).
Has any club gotten any word on GDA schedules for Florida showcase yet?
They are still not posted on website...
US Soccer said in a meeting held in Chicago this past Monday. The schedules will be released after the final fall Weekend of play. So after the 19th.

According to the 18-19' join page & application
http://www.ussoccerda.com/overview-join-the-academy
"Girls' Applications*: New clubs can apply for full Academy at the following age groups: U-14, U-15, U-16/17 & U-18/19.
*The Girls' Development Academy is currently in the first year of the program. Academy Leadership is in the stage of observation and analysis about any potential age groups for expansion, e.g. U-13, U-16 single age, etc. If the Academy were to expand, all clubs that complete this application would also be considered for additional potential age groups and would receive communication prior to confirming participation. Note: Existing Academy Clubs do not need to apply for any potential expansion, they will automatically be considered for any additional age group expansion.
The combine U16/17 group seems like a step back but that's the status quo for now, maybe that will change but I would think they would have to change the boys groups also so I kind of doubt that at this point. I guess the final answer has to come by Feb or so during the confirming process.
In the meeting held this week. They said they are reviewing the survey's sent out to the clubs that were turned in by the 5th. They will let all clubs know at the showcase in December.
If I were to bet next year we will have the following age groups:
U14= 2005
U15= 2004
U16=2003
U17=2002
U18/19=01/00
I am not sure we will see an 06 age group (U13). It was very mixed if that will happen. The Pilot group in the Texas Region is only going OK. The biggest complaint is that it is to much travel for that age. On the boys side they have more clubs with just this age group, so they can have more regional games. The girls side will be an all ages or nothing for now. So hard to make it regional, especially in some geographic locations.
The process is outlined in the rules. But basically you need outgoing club Approval to practice with a DA club. Then to transfer you need approval from outgoing club to incoming club from the DOC. It is actually a simple process.

Boy's DA and girl's DA are slightly different, boys already have U12 and U13 I believe. So as far as age split they don't have to be exactly the same.
