Not necessarily, that is why anyone who is serious should talk to the Metro coaches and get a better idea of what the bottom line cost will actually be.

If the practices can be in additional to GFR then 40-80 additional practices plus a potential of 12 DA games might be worth $1200.

IF the practices are in place of GFR then no, $1200 is not a good deal because in the GFR case your player is not getting the training that is being paid for there.

Also, my understanding is that while registration is through GFR and the fields are gotten via that club, there will be multiple partner clubs -- not just GFR players as the feeder. Which is the case right now. Current rosters have no GFR players at all.

They keep saying partner clubs who is that going to be. Also there are multiple GFR players on the current 06 roster, fact!

I believe that was a result of not having enough players for 06. Also from what was said at the town hall there will be an official announcement, of who the partners are coming out soon.

Correct, PP here. I should have said "no GFR players on the original roster." Yes, they have had some play in a few recent games, but they were not on the team in the fall nor are they practicing, etc. More like a guest player.

I didn't read beyond this because there was no point. Stop pulling from out of your ass. I don't know a single player across multiple age groups from GFR, and neither do you.

I read the entire post, however I would believe that GFR, moving forward would have guidance from the DA side, in order to better develop players. This obviously wouldn't occur over night, but having non DA partnerships would benefit development and growth, of the both the none DA players and create a pipeline for that talent to move up.

I need answers please help me here.
My DD is not a level A player for any ECNL/DA club, but I want to help and train her to get to the A level. I could pay and I want to pay. I do not care about the team size as long as she is playing with level A players, she will learn.
Help me here, with this GFR deal, does that mean I pay $3600/$1200 and my daughter will play with level B players of GFR mostly and playing with level A players of DA is only a lie?

Of course, she is already accepted from the MU coach. what are my options?

What age group is your DD? Was she accepted as a Full Time or Part Time player?

I believe the Part Time players will get to practice a lot with the DA teams.

Where do you live? If part time, talk to coaches about options for partner teams to register with, there are several. They play in different leagues/locations in the metro area.

You would pay $1200 and train with both GFR and United. How much training with Metro would depend on the player and each team. Talk with the metro coaches to get a answer especially regarding the prices. Only rostered DA players pay the $3600

To start

DA is expensive...doesn't matter what club. The spirit were the highest as the $3600 is the start...add in another 3-5k for travel IF they travel as a team. If not, it will be more b/c a parent will have to travel as well.

Good luck.

Metro United has reduced the costs since this year (Spirit). 3600 includes winter and summer training which were additional charges this year. U13 girls DA has less travel expenses than older teams because they don't participate in national showcases.

Again this is not true. There are multiple players that are on the original roster that played the year before for GFR. My DD friend plays on that team and she will definitely not be on there next year. If they struggled with attracting players as Spirit how again are they attracting players for the 06 team that has had multiple people quit and for the new 07 team as this new club with GFR running the operations. All these years and they could not produce one quality team so how is that management group going to operate a successful DA?

1200 would be the cost for being a part time player participating in up to 4 practices a week with DA, with the ability to play up to 12 DA games. Getting Player Development plans that are relayed to the coach at whichever partner club. You would still then have to pay whatever the partner clubs registration and fees are.
