I asked the Google AI team the following question.

Q. Was the girls development academy supposed to be fully funded?

A. Yes, the U.S. Soccer Development Academy was fully funded with millions of dollars to ensure the clubs had resources to compete and train. The academy was created in the mid-2000s by U.S. Soccer officials to help develop top soccer players. However, the academy was shut down in 2020 due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The girls clubs transitioned to the Girls Academy (GA) or Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).

A soccer academy is a training program where professional soccer clubs help young players develop into footballers. However, being part of an academy doesn't guarantee that a player will become a professional, but they did get to start 25% of the games.

Yes, it was mismanaged much in the way the California billion-dollar homeless fund was managed- maybe homeless people could manage girls club soccer better?
