[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Arlington DOC announced that U12 boys and girls are both gone.  Do your homework.[/quote]

Why make statements like this?  Here is a recent announcement for Arlington DA ID session for 2009/09 boys.  See https://arlingtonsoccer.demosphere-secure.com/programs/development-academy/talent-id

It apparently was true numbskull.[/quote]

You are constitutionally incapable of reading or understanding what you read. Arlington continues to list the DA ID session for 2008/2009 players, and clubs will continue to run DA programs at U12. They will not be centrally planned or directed. What is difficult to understand about this?  Nothing that reading well would not avoid. Perhaps a little more of that and a little less rumormongering. You can look it up. [/quote]

DP, but what are you taking about?

The DA is dropping the U12 age group.   Period.

Yes,  DA clubs will continue to have U12 age groups,  but they won't be DA teams.

[b]Next year's U12 in a DA club wil be the same as this year's  U9-U11 in a DA club.[/b]   [/quote]

This statement is false.  The clubs plan to treat the u12's as DA teams, only the programming will be run locally, not centrally by US Soccer.   That's why they are still advertising ID sessions for the age group.[/quote]
 
And instead of DA league games they will have what, scrimmages? [/quote]

We’ll see, but the option that makes the most sense for the DA clubs is to play that age group around the schedules for the older groups that play one another.  Maybe they set up divisions in EDP or some other league vehicle for this, maybe not.  In either case, they will maintain the separation of the age group as a stepping stone to US Soccer DA programming at the older age groups to keep the revenue stream going.  Why on earth would they choose the option of disbanding to their standard league/tiering when they can keep it as part of an exclusive group of DA clubs and use it as a player magnet?  [/quote]
