[quote=Anonymous]To get back to the topic of girls teams in the local area:  From our experience, the DA training has been stellar, and the 4th night is focused on either fitness or game intelligence. Both of which the girls can really use. Our DD is a 14, and I think the 14 pool is stronger than the older pools overall. So I think the younger years will be even stronger as they move into the system.  ECNL has been great for the girls game, particularly by consolidating college-bound talent, but I do think it's good for US Soccer to be filling that space so that there's less likelihood to default to athleticism and kick-and-run in the games.  So far, kick and run is not at all what the DA coaches are teaching my daughter's team (even if it is what some teams collapse into at this point given past training). It will take time to gel, but I bet the DA teams look far better to the casual watching in late spring than they do now. And one of the best parts about the DA overall is that they have focused on filling the senior ranks and the talent identification roles with experienced *women.* I love that for our daughters.
