What is crazy is that all of this has been happening during tryout season. Soccer scene is ridiculous these days. Please add on....

SYC
LMVSC (these 2 basically swapped after internal feuds)

FCV (got sold to St James)

Villarreal having an internal issue with all accounts frozen; things up in the air

Loudoun boys out of DA switching to ECNL

Arlington boys not getting DA for 04s

Metro United---what is this and when did this come on the scene?

CCL and NCSL merger,

Then the general phasing out of all boys DA under U13.

The SYC and LMVSC "war" is over

SYC got most of the kids while LMVSC is barely has enough kids for white teams.

No swapping just a full exudes to SYC

The grass is not always greener on the other side and parents will continue to complain like they always do.

Really? How does anyone keep up with all of this?

It's ridiculous. We have gone to practices at places only to find they won't exist in a year or somebody else will own them or there is some internal war going on we know nothing about.

What a complete shit show by the adults.

Yet the clubs say it's the parents who ruin everything.

I believe DC United dropped their U13 (2007) team for next year.

DC United dropped their U12 team (2008). I have not heard anything about the U13 (2007).

I think the plan is to drop U13 (08) a year from now for all DA programs

The DA dropped the U12 age group from its programming, but in the press release said it expected member clubs to continue to work with that age group, following the same principals as the DA.

DCU is dropping its U11 (EDP), U12, U13, and U16 (EDP) teams. They will only have 4 teams next year - U14, U15, U16/17, and U18/19. The current U12s only found out about no-U13 team in 2019-20 within the last 2 weeks.

As far as I can tell, no other DAs are doing the same thing (dropping the U13 age group), including the other MLS teams. Maybe DCU knows something they don't?

not exactly a lot of other clubs lining up to buy DC United's youth players for millions of dollars

Oh the clubs know too. But they use it as a fake marketing ploy and dumb parents eat it up. Let’s face it, it was never anything different to begin with.

What exactly are you claiming is a fake marketing ploy and not anything different? The DA generally? DCU specifically? The U13 DA age group?
