Pateadores Girls DA 03/04 - Observations

How many ecnl t players did you observe?

Zero point Zero.

I suspect the South OC ECNL coaches had some "conversations" with their current 03 ECNL players about the Pats DA tryouts recently. Those parents don't need to worry though, I am sure the Pats coaches have already sent emails (or made phone calls) to the 03 ECNL players that top their wishlists.

Realistically, how many non ecnl players are going to fill the Da's? A random few? How many current ecnl players are going to fill the ecnl teams? I would suspect the majority of non ecnl players will play on a reserve Team or ecnl team next season? Kudos to parents who are taking their dd's out to da tryouts that are currently playing on 2nd and 3rd teams. Great idea to see if your dd has the skillset and mindset to play at the highest level.

I think you will be surprised, certainly in the 03 group. Based on two head-to-head games this season, DeMelo's team is on par with Blues Bobak. Hodson's and Legends 03 are also very strong teams (I only mention these two because I have seem them play multiple times). Actually, Bobak surely disagrees with you as well, according to the many times (no less than 7 by my own account) that he has attended non ECNL games in the last few months.

Kudos to you
 
Beach is going to be so strong.
I would love to know if that DA league for the reserves team is actually going to happen because if it is that is the difference between going to EC NL try out versus singing with a DA on the reserve team

Humbling is the word I use. Talent so deep! For us all of my dd friends on ecnl are trying to get on DA and if they can't get on the DA at their club they're trying to look and see if they can get on the DA at another club versus stay on ECNL. I think if US soccer announced in the following year that it would be singleband we wouldn't see as much movement because why move the club if your daughters on an EC NL team but would probably make the band the next year

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. The 4 big ECNL clubs are the only clubs that have not agreed at this time (I am sure you can figure out who they are and possibly understand why); but, they are going to succumb unless they want to play each other and some lower level teams. The word on the street is the remaining clubs 3rd level might be ECNL IF they even participate.
 
Sorry if I missed the answer to my question here - I tried looking back through this thread as best I could, but wasn't able to locate it...so here is it.

Has there been any discussion about DA II team players and high school soccer participation?

I know DA I team players cannot play high school soccer...and ECNL players can play high school soccer...what about DA II?

Sorry again if this was answered already...but any insight/clarification is appreciated.

No. DA II follows the same training instruction controlled by US Soccer.

Reserve can play high school.
DP can as well.
If you get "called up" though to academy status the answer is no

You seem to always be right but that is not what we heard at Pats?
Sorry if I gave misinformation I was told they are not officially academy and that reserve is a moniker and not really a place on the team so they can

Bababooey had said:
2. Pats will not allow Academy team players to play HS soccer. The Academy II players can play HS soccer, but if those players get "promoted" to the Academy team, they will be expected to stop playing HS soccer. This would seem to potentially create some weird scenarios.

I am not always right - I might have misheard; but, I can verify. I was told they are following the US Soccer model for DA II.

Got it...and appreciated - I thought I read that before...just couldn't find it when I tried to back-track through this thread.
