[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now all the girls moving up to to DA at U14 next year have to co compete with other players in the state who have already been in the YNT system already. What are your chances?

Considering the main "pitch" of the girls development academy is the "pathway to the national team" it seems that the odds are long even before you get started... and the players have been ID'd even before the first GDA year begins.

Either remove that from your pitch, or be realistic with players and tell them that only 2-3 players in the entire state at their age group will make it there.[/quote]

Are you also the one that if there were 5 on this roster all from GDA clubs in NoVA would be saying "GDA didn't develop those players, don't read anything into this"? The USA could field 20 U14 National teams that would all beat each other over and over and get the same results internationally (how ludicrous is it that they even try a national call up for that age. They should be regional camps anyway). Maybe the US staff is already comfortable with who they are watching in the GDA? Maybe they call kids in from ECNL clubs so they can expose them to the way the USYNTs train so they know what it should really be like? And you want your DD to not have to compete for her spot? Which is it?

None of this matters at this age. Focus your DDs and pressure their coaches to challenge them every day. If she's not going out and playing on her own in the yard, with friends, watching on TV, going to games, trying to do tricks she sees on youtube, she's not gonna "make it" no matter what anyway.
