It makes no sense. If you want a team to compete, they need to be tight and know how they each play. We had this on our team with a few and it was a disaster for all sides. Does not work.

Mine plays DA, and at this level you can play or you can't. You either play fast with your head up or get overwhelmed by the speed of the game.

The PT players come in and practice and get overwhelmed most of the time...but they get the opportunity to practice 1-2 times per week at the faster pace and better quality.

Every local DA has PT players. Arlington and FCV have second teams with PT players. MU will have multiple local options for second teams. PT is a good option for player who may not be quite ready yet for the level of play of DA but who are motivated to get better. If you check game reports on US soccer DA website all three teams have used PT players in recent games.

Can you provide that link for the game FCV used a PT player.

I'll wait right here

there's your freebie. do your own research next time.

Got me...found a single GK! I suppose if you count GK then FCV has used a couple. GK's are a harder commodity to hoard.

I don't know how accurate the FT designation is on the website. I've seen Spirit EDP players labeled as "FT" on the website. However, some players have only played 8-10 games and have 0 starts. That sounds like PT to me.

They still probably have a couple of full time spots available on younger (06 and 07 teams).

Rosters are not usually published til season starts.

So that's why the TSJFCVDA parents are out in full force today. Makes sense.

We were told rosters would be released this week. Waiting until the season starts isn't good practice.

It looks as if gfr coaches are coaching the new 07 team according to their site and there has been no concrete talk of who these other sister clubs joining are. smaller rosters won’t matter if the quality of players is not there.

Contact George Hales about the coaching staff. We heard that GFR current coaches are NOT going to be head age group coaches for DA at 07 or any other level. Also, ignoring 06, where the new pilot program wasn't really promoted early and the WS had no feeder program to just subsume the A team from (like Arlington and FCV did), the other rosters WILL be far better simply by making them smaller and changing the play up situation. Not adding a single person but subtracting some would have an impact at several ages.

Do you know when the rosters will be released? Other DA and ECNL clubs have released them.

Intraclub. The people on those teams know who their teammates are. MU should do that too.

Since offers only just went out a couple days ago, very reasonable to assume that they WILL release that info once the time has passed and people have had the opportunity to accept?

If they take to the end of the week, that is reasonable. No problem there. If they want to wait until the season starts like some PP had suggested, that's not reasonable.

Its not reasonable when people want to know the talent they are playing with at $3600 a year. They should tell everyone now.

How can they tell people when 48 hours isn't even up and they can't know who may are may not accept.
