Yawn, my stepfather grew up playing in the Borussia Dortmund (Germany) youth system until U18....my next door neighbor played for the Honduras National team and both shared with me their experience and how those countries ID players. Next!

How do the Philippines ID players? Isn't your DD in that player pool? ;)

Thanks for asking, actually my DD received an official invite to tryout for Sr Philippine National team 2 weeks ago. To bad the tryouts are this week in the Philippines and we have to foot the bill for her airfare. If she made the squad she would have to remain there for another 5-6 weeks for training and the Asian qualifyer for the 2019 Womens World Cup. To much of a conflict with HS, since she is a Sr and will graduating in May and currently working on her college conditioning and strength packet.

Oh you ask how do they ID players, easy they identified her at a camp in the US when she was U14 and have been keeping track of her ever since.

But what I'd like to know is: Do the coaches have B licenses or E licenses or are they parent volunteers?

This is all I can tell you - based on what I know and I am often wrong.

1) The US Soccer website makes no mention of 2021 and says they have to be "B" or above.
2) One of the teams that bailed from GDA could not afford the coaching changes
3) The reference to 2021 showed up by a club website and I have been told they are wrong by another club coach.

Who the fack knows.
 
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 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.
