No need to go that far @Nutmeg. We already got your SS# and home address from the Experian hack.So um no I won't be giving you my credentials today or my SS# or my home address, but just my fair and honest opinion as I see it.

Who said that I don't agree with Nutmeg? I was just calling him (or her) out a bit to understand his (or her) background since that part was left out (which would help to understand the context of their comments). By the way I do not currently have a kid playing DA but it doesn't take much to figure out why blowouts are happening.
@Simi is a DPL parent dreaming of the big times after being fed a bunch of crap. Maybe Simi would like to share her/his credentials?Who said that I don't agree with Nutmeg?

How are you defining elite? Div I quality? If so, I would think the number would be over 100. I've seen 30 Div. I commits for the Class of 2018 from Slammers (12), Blues (11) and Strikers (7) alone.Like I said a long time ago there are about 25-35 elite players per age group in all of SoCal. That is enough for 2-3 teams max. The remaining 8-10 teams worth of players are good but they hold back the elite players and really defeat the "purpose" of GDA.

Though, even with Div. I quality as the definition, I admit you'd need closer to 300 to support consistently elite soccer for the 13 girls DA and 7 ECNL teams per age group currently in SoCal.

U16/U17 I see...
The kicker on the LAFC game is they were looking flat until this game so they brought in 2 younger U15 DPs and one scored 5 goals in the last 35 minutes LOL.
Burlingame's U16/U17 defensive players run a 7.5 second 40 and get run over like a snail crossing the freeway - the team moves the ball OK - offense has speed issues also.
Haven't seen PSV Union yet but I can't fathom anyone losing by 10 goals to West Coast U16/U17.
Beach is a good team - haven't seen Albion play yet.
That's why LAFC #11 is on the national team; 5 goals from a 2003 playing up for only 5o or so minutes.
Funny thing is LAFC Slammers has 5 or so players on the U16/17 teams that played for the Galaxy SB affiliate including #7 the other scorers & #11 but they where late to party and couldn't hang on to them.
There is a local So Cal DA team that has had some trouble this year too.west coast 10 psv union 0

There is a local So Cal DA team that has had some trouble this year too.
They are 1-1-10 across all of their age groups. Allowed 34 goals and scored 10.
Their coach is a u19 NT scout. Did they just not get the players that other teams did this year?

Interesting site. What is the selection process to getting on the list of Top Drawer Players.
Agree...but it's nice to see your kid with some stars next to their nameI'm not sure. They seem to insert themselves anywhere they think that "elite" soccer is going on and they rank it. It's basically click bait but it works. I have had a subscription for 3 years even though I think most of what they right is absolute drivel.
I been wondering why the Blues '02 ECNL team has lost some of their punch this fall. Her moving to LAFC Slammers DA seems to explain it.https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/girls-dev-acad-weekly-standout_aid42815

Pretty sure she was a dominant player in ECNL too. I do know her commute got a whole lot shorter by switching to LAFC.I been wondering why the Blues '02 ECNL team has lost some of their punch this fall. Her moving to LAFC Slammers DA seems to explain it.
What does it say about DA though that one player can dominate a game to that extent?

If the coach tells all the players that their job is to get the ball to the Italian, then the Italian can sit up top, not worry about creating plays, and score a lot of goalshttps://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/girls-dev-acad-weekly-standout_aid42815
