[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 NWSL clubs have academies already. 
-3 Are in ECNL
-1 Is in GA
-1 Is not in either

Things could change, but no solid announcements have been made.

Surprised the Spirit, with Kang’s backing, have not started a program yet.[/quote]

I don't think the Spirit Could Field a new Academy/ Travel Club.... the market is saturated and since they would be a For-Profit -vs- Non-Profit, they would need to pay for Field Space.  I feel like they would have to partner with an existing club to get something off the ground.

-I have also heard of a 'reserve' squad where some USL-W girls get looks and some Top Youth Talent receive double-secret invites in Instagram through connections.  Hence, the girls who make the dramatic 'just finished a great session w the XXXX NWSL Club.'  Which is also a far cry from a youth academy/ development model.

It could be done. But I look at all the issues DCU are having with their academy in this high priced area. I just don't see how the Spirit could operate one without a significant loss year after year.  [/quote]
It's easy to do. NWSL teams just need to partner with successful youth clubs letting them manage the team from an administrative perspective. They pick the players and coach.[/quote]
