[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really sad for boys who won’t get a chance to go through the DA at the older years. It was a fantastic program with great training for less cost than a typical travel soccer program. The fact that there was pressure from US Soccer to maintain a high level of soccer and keep costs low for DA players set it apart from ECNL or any other national league. I loved that there were only two showcases a year, or a bit more if you played in the DA playoffs or GA Cup. It was so easy to get scouted for college as well. I also fear that fewer boys will end up playing overseas now. So many kids went from the DA to Germany the last few years. It has been really inspiring. Our last remaining youth soccer player is not serious enough to be a DA player, so this doesn’t really affect us. I’m deeply grateful that our older son was able to play all his HS years in DA. [/quote] Sadly- there most likely is no college soccer for another year or more and many Universities are beginning to ditch their soccer programs due to cost. So it’s all a sh@tshow- but especially for the kids in the middle of HS right now.[/quote]
