The few talented girls on that team could play with the older group. That would strengthen the 04 group so they could be more competitive.
And next year don't even try for an 07 group. Just let the 06 and 07's play together and bring all the 08's together so that age group can be somewhat competitive.
To be a DA club are you required to have teams at every age? It could be Metro just isn't going to be able to provide that if they want any of them to be competitive.
The 03 team has talent just injuries. They need a team in each age group except for U13.
+1.

Sorry, but that's ridiculous. The only reason the 03 group is light is the 19s keep pulling 03s up every week. And there are still issues with injuries as well. besides, the 04 group is maybe the same level as 03, but it's not stronger.
Besides, 04 don't want to play up, but we should make the 03s? The entire group? That isn't good for them either.
I don't know if the DA allows skipping any old age group like that. They generally only allow bottom up building, so MU would have to field those younger teams to stay.

The team is 1/2 2006 players and the rest of the team is 2007s, 2008's and even 2009 players. The do not have a 2007 team at all. I'm wondering what their longterm plan is for the younger teams.
It seems the long term plan is to leverage the partnerships with GFR, Stoddert, and Potomac to pull the best players from those three. The partnerships cl have come too late for 2006 for this season.
Why would those clubs send their players to metro? What incentive is there to go to metro instead one of the other DA’s or ECNL’s in the area?
That they have a partnership? Like PWSI VSA and VDA.
Shouldn’t be too hard to understand.
Lol. It’s not that easy buddy. It might work for a year but it is very difficult to sustain those “partnerships” and especially when the teams don’t win and are a laughing stock.
VDA was formed in 2015 and competed in 2016. CYA is the only original partner to drop out in that time. It is now 2019-2020 season and no visable cracks in the VSA/PWSI VDA partnerships.
Richmond United is doing just fine with the Kickers and Strikers as well.
