Boooring!!!! What did they just repost this article and replace a few of the names from when boys came thru? Same crocodile tears from coaches with something to lose for themselves. Uh oh! look out. Instead of just filling your HS team with select and ECNL girls and sitting back for the ride, a whole new group of girls may actually get an opportunity and god forbid those coaches actually have to do a little "coaching"

58 goals in 14 games?? That's averaging over 4 goals a game. Sounds like HS is more like REC for this future star of the National team.

years ago when boys DA came along with the no HS etc. There was a moaning and wringing of hands. Articles with coaches bemoaning the great tragedy and then life went on. The article isn't new idea, info or even complaints. It's the same tired retread from people using the media to try and protect their own self interest.

I can tell ya she couldn't score 58 in 14 games in 6-6a

I found it a little better than boring.. Not all of us were tuned into the boys side a few years ago when DA came through.. Plus it gave a few local soccer names a chance to weigh in with some thoughts AND it had some useful info.. Like Feet still considering on whether to apply or not, while the other local 4 ECNL Clubs have decided to apply.. I guess it didn't shake the earth for you, but I thought it was a decent read...

I didn't realize other sports were off limit as well. Not so sure how well that would go over in my household

by soccersounder 22/03/16, 04:01 pm

With 4 Training's per week, would other sports still be a good idea? DA will not be for everyone...

yeah I guess it's a little like watching bugs bunny as a kid not knowing it was all re-runs

by Deuce 22/03/16, 04:08 pm

A lot of quotes from BOYS high school coaches for a piece about GIRLS' DA. Sure one to talk about the effects when boys' DA started, but was it really that hard to reach girls' coaches who would be affected?

by go99 22/03/16, 04:10 pm

already had it in the tin deuce.

You clearly have this Girls DA thing figured out, so what is your take on it?

by go99 22/03/16, 09:37 pm

The girls DA will be a good think and improving every year in the boys. It will not be for everyone and in fact not the best route for most. If done properly and parental egos kept in check there will be room for both DA and ECNL. DA is a PLAYER development model and an attempt to raise the quality. ECNL is a TEAM and player showcase model. Really showcase tournaments organized into a league

You have summarized it plain and simple. DA is focused on Player Development as the first priority, all other leagues are focused on Team Development/Performance first.

The challenge will be to see if DA, on the girls side, can hold true to the mission and sustain the model.

There is much less opportunity for the clubs to earn any kind of a long term financial return on player development on the girls side (=$0) than there is on the boys side.

by AtThePitch 23/03/16, 08:59 am

With the exception of the MLS academies, there is zero return on the boys side either until US Soccer starts paying out the transfer fees of the players, but I would argue....

The money is owed to the parent in the US, not the club, unless fully funded by the club. We the parents foot the bills, not the clubs.

There are far more non MLS academy programs than there are MLS programs. This could also explain why the MLS programs at least at face value seem to be producing better quality players. FCD being consistently the best within MLS. They are focused on the development as it will eventually help the first team or the club in general when money is recieved for selling a player.

Someone stated only MLS clubs should have DA status. Maybe so, who knows... for all we know that happens on the girls side.

My money says 2 clubs, MAYBE 3.

One day I'm gonna find a Unicorn at the soccer complex and her name will be "Development".

Based on what you have said, I would assume the local boys DA clubs are holding development over winning..... But I have also heard some of the boys DA Clubs manipulate the age requirements by having more of the older players on a roster, as well as "working around" the mandatory starting rules.... Those would be to the contrary...

There has actually already been a lawsuit to that effect

I spoke to two current ECNL DOC's and they both agreed 4 Clubs will go.. Texans and FCD for Facilities and Backing. Sting for Tradition, success and National Team players and Solar for the relationship on the boys side... They did say it was only a their best guess

by AtThePitch 23/03/16, 10:21 am

Correct, lawsuit is peninding but no outcome yet. The lawsuit is to have the clubs paid. Wouldn't that be great. We the parents pay, the clubs get paid on the front end and the back end... SMH

I guess I don't quite understand the logic in this. Would you use this same logic for other things that you have invested in your kids?

I'll give you some examples.

1) You pay for your kid to go to private school, they get into a great college because they have good grades and even receive a partial scholarship. When they end up working for NASA are you going to ask NASA to pay you because you are the one that spent the money on the great private school that ultimately shaped your kid?

2) You pay for your kids piano lessons when they are young and they become a world famous musician. Are you going to ask for a percentage of their concert receipts because you are the one that footed the bill for the piano lessons?

3) Your kid plays high school baseball and is a good player but not great. You decide to pay for private hitting lessons and then he starts tearing it up. He gets drafted in the first round and signs a good contract. Are you going to want to be paid because you paid for the private hitting lessons?

As parents, you are in complete control over what you choose to invest in on behalf of your child. Whether it be school, athletics, music or acting classes, your investments is a means to develop them. You did not develop them, your money is what enabled them to develop. Professional clubs pay fees for developing youth players not fees to reimburse people for paying to be developed.

The only way this sport grows in the US is if youth clubs are incentivized to develop players for the highest level. When and only when that happens, they will be judged by how many YNT and professionals they have had come through their club and not by what place they are in the standings. This is the single most important thing to take soccer in the US to the next level.

If this happens, the clubs will be able to use any funds they generate and reduce or get rid of the financial burden of the parents. But until then, it is a simple decision that you have to make on behalf of your kids - invest in them or not.

by Blues Fan 23/03/16, 12:21 pm

Devil's advocate.

1) Parents pay for their kid to go to private school, kid gets into a great college because they have good grades and even receive a partial scholarship. When they end up working for NASA is the private school going to ask NASA to pay them because they educated the kid, when they were already paid to educate the kid?

2) Parent pays for their kids piano lessons when they are young and they become a world famous musician. Is the piano teacher going to ask for a percentage of their concert receipts because they taught the kid, when they were already paid to teach the kid piano lessons?

3) Your kid plays high school baseball and is a good player but not great. Parent decides to pay for private hitting lessons and then he starts tearing it up. He gets drafted in the first round and signs a good contract. Does the hitting instructor want to be paid because he made the kid a better hitter?

Your argument is a joke.
