[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here. Thanks for your helpful answers. DS is a DA player, but as we put academics first, we would like to see if he could consider other (perhaps slightly less time-consuming) options in a few years that would still give him a shot at playing in college. Not looking for scholarships, just for good academics and possible playing time. As argued by some of you D3 may be a better fit (assuming it is much easier to get in). [/quote] A player who has a few years of DA experience and then drops it to play HS and club soccer should still have plenty of options, and certainly will if D3 is the goal. But we did not find that DA interfered more with academics than regular club soccer. You have one extra practice a week, but only two showcases instead of multiple tournaments. Our kid who played DA did not generally find it hard to balance with a rigorous course load. MLS DA academies are different in the later HS years though. [/quote]
