[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GDA  announced that it is starting a new cup competition. Doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon[/quote]

That doesn’t sound like its giving GDA players more incentive to not play club in the spring like ECNL and play HS. http://www.ussoccerda.com/20180418-NEWS-DA-Introduces-New-Cup-Comp-Structure-for-Girls[/quote]

More meaningless BS. A champions league cup different from the playoffs. Lmfao. Who cames up with this idea?

DA just got more expensive for the parents of the best kids...lmfao [/quote]

ECNL clubs cost just as much as DA clubs.  Our team gets Double the amount of practices, games and exposure than ECNL teams do.  Only benefit ECNL has over DA is playing High School. And how does that help your DD exposure to colleges.  Best move we ever made.  [/quote]

Well, my ECNL club gets three times the amount of practice that DA does, along every college coach at every showcase, exclusive scouting sessions, lunch with professional players, ESPN junkets.
But we don't get that valuable "free" season ticket. Best move we ever made times 2![/quote]

While clearly this is sarcasm, there are points to address to the ECNL supporters.  The structure of the DA is far superior to that of the ECNL in terms of game loading, season loading and training periodization, etc...  Unless HS soccer does a complete about-face and become something that has any soccer value more than zero, the DA structure will remain far superior.  This isn't about teams or clubs.  It is about structure.  10 months of evenly spaced out training and games cannot be compared to over-loaded seasons of ECNL followed by over-loaded HS season.  And in this area there is even the additional issue of different HS seasons between private and public high school and DC, MD and VA.  [/quote]
