[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That game is by no means typical of the U14 DA games I've seen.  It makes no sense to look at one video in isolation and say that all claims about the DA as a whole are overblown, and the DA is just exactly like all the local non-DA programs.  You have to dig a lot deeper than that if you want to have an intelligent assessment of what DA can potentially offer your kid. [/quote]

But, you definitely can see the quality of players.  And, yes, I understand that MLS DA can be very different. I think the point raised is that Travel Club DA isn't really different than your average travel team.  In fact, they are just the A team rebranded.[/quote]

I meant to say--the quality of players individually in that video is not high in terms of skill.  One game at the beginning of the season for tactical issues, I'll give you that.  But, you'd expect all players at that level to have good touch and skill.[/quote]

I agree.  I think it is helpful to provide a reference point of what a high level u14 game looks like.  Here's an example from a U14 age group at MIC Cup in Spain.  These teams/players are at entirely different level from the two teams in the earlier video, which are the feeder DAs for DC United.
