Girls Development Academy

Here is a list of the DA II clubs that are working to build the league for anyone interested:

Albion SC, Beach Futbol Club, Eagles SC, SC del Sol, LA Galaxy Academy, LA Galaxy San Diego, LA Premier FC, Legends FC, Pateadores, Real So Cal.

3 of the clubs are planning on leaving ECNL.

One of the DOCs from one of these clubs (starts with an L) that is promoting DA II said the plans have changed and US Soccer is aligned. The plan is to have a solidified plan this month LOL.

If your DD is DA II level, tryout, agree to join if asked, then bail when ENCL tryouts come along if DA II is not what they said it was or is nonexistent at that time. Not a big deal; so, don't make a big deal out of it. Relax people.

"L" come on! That doesn't help that could be LA Galaxy, LA Galaxy SD, LA Premier and Legends.

What color are the uniforms?
 
The good news in all of this is that Facebook now has a function where you can label something as fake news. So if a club, GOAL NATION or any other ridiculousness occurs you can report and then click "I think that this is fake news" and it takes it down. Give it a whirl- save a ulittle parent lol

Oh look a spoof URL, that's one club right there

Another one:
http://www.socalsoccer.com/threads/pateadores-girls-da-03-04-observations.1120/

"2. Pats will not allow Academy team players to play HS soccer. The Academy II players can play HS soccer"
  • He said that at the recent GDA meetings, the Academy II teams were sanctioned (I think that was the word he used) by US Soccer. Not sure what that means but I suspect it is good.
"DA II league is happening based on meeting in Chicago and all but 4 SoCal teams have agreed that second club tier will be DA II -vs- ECNL"

Could go on and on about all the marketing nonsense that's been posted so much material.

" All d2 players can be considered DP,s

" Easily moved from d2 to da"

"D2 teams will play with the da same day & venue vs other D2 teams"

"Da Showcases will include D2 teams"

Tell us which of any of these are not misrepresentations.

Tier 1 or equivalent: playing in x leagues would have been fine like the other clubs used but this other alternative "name" deal is more nothing more than use of fictious or sounds like marketing spam.

Thanks for this response. I have no problem calling those lies, not misrepresentations.

Negative reaction from a Club guy. Heading to Facebook now lol
 
Beach is one club that I have not heard of making false promises, so good for them. But as Mahrez has pointed out, others have made false representations about DA II, including 1 DOC to his coaches. At this point it is nothing more than another acronym like Academy, Premier, Reserve. It is not supported nor approved by US Soccer so to represent that it is a done deal is wrong.

I will not get into the argument of whether ENCL or DA is better. I believe it depends on the player and their goals so both have something to offer as well as all the non ENCL and non DA clubs.

Might want to take a look at this:
http://myemail.constantcontact.com/...EMENT.html?soid=1104906689478&aid=QpfcIg5BZzE

They took some liberties in those premature announcements

Some of the alternative fact posters have listed as the group of 9 interested are not in fact if you ask the right people who actually work for them. LA Galaxy Academy for one accord to ZW, The AZ club, etc.

My list of 10 clubs comes right from the www.usdaii.com website (well the website that is supposedly being updated right now)... The cached version is here: Weeeeeee.

So now your referencing a alternative facts website that spoof real sites.

You want to tell us who parked a domain at goodaddy 42 days ago, Oh wait I know who that is

So what your saying is, USSDA has not made an official statement on DAII, whether or not they do support it, if they would sanction it or who would be in it. Therefore we are all speculating in some way, one way or another.

Beach FC and others may have taken some liberties, but Beach made no promises and were very upfront about DAII in their presentation.

USSDA made a statement to the DA clubs to stop promoting DAII, as it is not sanctioned by USSDA. It doesn't sound like there is any sort of real plan for this league anyways, beyond a few clubs having discussions about it.

Sorry I was wrong. Beach is just as guilty. See how easy it is to admit I am wrong you DA2 fans. You should try it.

This is correct. As of a phone call on earlier this week DA II died. US Soccer made it very clear they were not supporting it, not sanctioning it and would have no part of it. Think about it, boys DA has been in existence for almost 10 years. If US Soccer wanted a DA II program they would have implemented it on the boys side years ago. Several of the bozos from clubs heavily promoting DA II were whining over it. MD, BR, NG all begged and pleaded because they had promised their families something that never existed. Asking US Soccer "what are we supposed to tell our families now?" US Soccer said "Not our problem you spoke out of turn". These guys are the main offenders of making empty promises thinking they could push US Soccer in to doing what they wanted. Truth be told, they probably chased US Soccer away with all of their ridiculous ideas and requests. They can all be overbearing, whiny and have a strong sense of entitlement for no reason.
I must admit I thought DA II would eventually happen. In fact the clubs wanting DA II are still planning to meet to try and salvage the promises they falsely made. Several problems with this non-existent program....
1. They want a fall/spring league. This means Cal South won't sanction it because it takes the teams out of National Cup. They can't play National Cup and Spring League games, there aren't enough play dates AND this league would conflict directly with CRL which is the feather in Cal South's cap.
2. They could sanction it through US Club but that means no USYS National Cup. Only NPL/US Club Cup (leaves ALOT to be desired).
3. There are no other DA II programs anywhere else so no showcase, no playoffs, no exposure = no motivation for the players or families to buy in to this flat program.
4. So for teams that have a fall/spring league with no hopes of playoffs, National Cup or showcases, what's left?
5. Players won't be registered through US Soccer like the bozo brigade promised so they can't say the are "DA" players. This was always lipstick on a pig anyways. You either ARE or you AREN'T a DA player. Trying to disguise it by calling it DA II league with high school doesn't make you a DA player.
So they are going to try and figure out the escape plan. They will try and figure out how to make it happen but that will be a massive challenge. Honestly, the B team players are better off on the path they are currently on. Play fall league, play high school, play National Cup, qualify in to CRL, play showcase events summer and spring (because now with the DA teams OUT of those events there is more room for the B teams) and work to find the best college showcase opportunities possible. There are plenty of showcases out there where college coaches show up. Playing in a DA II doesn't provide any type of exposure directly from the league so why change the model?
It all boils down to a massive unsubstantiated sales pitch and undeliverable promises by DOC's who are trying to make more $$$ and keep players who don't make DA teams from leaving to go play for other clubs.
It will be interesting to see what the bozo brigade comes up with next.

I am consistently amazed at how connected and aware everyone is on this forum. This info doesn't affect me personally but several close friends. At no point has ANY DOC Said this what a shame in the middle of tryout season.
Thank you for taking the time @dreamz
Something tells me some people's cell phones may be ringing a lot today at various clubs

While I cannot comment on the veracity of your update, I do disagree with this conjecture. US Soccer is not interested in helping these clubs with their B teams, and you cannot chase away someone who as never there.

Instead of further diluting the competition in Socal by forming yet another new league, why not put their egos aside for a moment, and as a group pick an existing league to compete in? CSL may not work because they would have to earn their bracket placement every year. So go to SCDSL. They helped create and already manage that league, so how about Beach, Legends, RSC and the rest keep their prior SCDSL promises and commitments, instead of doing their best to make it a league full of "C" teams playing 11v11 scrimmages.

This is spot on except that it NEVER existed in the first place other than being another acronym for marketing. You even got the lead track suit wearing bozo brigade right but I would put their culpability in the reverse order. NG has been going around acting like the great champion of DA 2 with MD right behind him. Let's see what they say now. Bring on the Kool-aide!
