[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As indicated, there may be valid reasons to cut the programming, other than those you allude to.  That presumes that the cut will actually move forward, which hasn’t been officially announced.  An editor’s message in a soccer publication is not official.  [/quote]

What are the valid reasons to cut the DA program?  Kids in Europe start at U7 at the academies and are in professional academy environment and start breaking into first teams at 16, 17.   Our DA kids will be starting at U13.  Guess who has a better chance to develop into a quality pro?   [/quote]

One valid reason is that they have limited resources and want to focus on scouting the older age groups.  The DA clubs are still bound by the agreement to apply DA standards to the younger age groups, they are just not included in DA programming (i.e., the refs, the game scheduling, scouting, etc).   This makes more resources available for older age groups, so they can more effectively scout, is one theory.

Of course, this all presumes that the cut will actually happen.  Right now it's credited to the editing journalist of an soccer publication.[/quote]
