[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I am still confused. Does this mean that Arlington won't have U-12 DA academy next year? They will all now stay on the Red team vs being extracted for DA?

Yes, U12 DA is being eliminated.  '08 players will tryout for DA at U14.

All DA clubs will still teach DA principals at all levels, but will not be DA.

Has Arlington announced this yet to the 2008 year players yet (which by the way was the same age group that bore the brunt of the age group changes as well a few years ago)?

Tough luck for that age group overall with US Soccer it seems.... [/quote]

Every age group thought that they particularly suffered from the age change. Get over it already [/quote]

You are obnoxious. No one 'suffered.' Point being that 2008 was the only age group that would not have been in travel at all-- but were vaulted in unlike other age groups who were already in or planning to be in due to age eligibility (2007).

Didn't say other groups were not impacted-- all were obviously impacted in some way (some in a good way, some in a bad way).

But 2008 was the only group that wouldn't have needed to be in travel at all (but in some type of development program)--that was my point.

They still didn't need to be in travel and it could be argued benefited by getting in a bit sooner than otherwise expected. The late 07's who would have been the older 08's got pushed up into an age group that already had a year of travel experience.

So yes, get over it. Every age group 08 and older were impacted in some way. Some kids benefited and others did not but compared to other age groups the 08's were not as adversely affected as most.[/quote]
