Now on to DA2

by Medicine Man 09/03/18, 01:33 pm

When we will know who stays DA and who goes ECNL NTX that's the last piece on the tombstone.

I can see adding Energy because of their geographic location, but why Omaha? TX people can't be too happy with that one.

Would rather make a single 2 1/2 hour car ride from KC to Omaha once.a year than have to play FCKC again.

For the life of me I can't figure out why DA would add lower level clubs instead of keeping a smaller group of "Elite" clubs. Omaha is no better than FCKC. I mean if they really wanted to add a club from Nebraska you would think they would at least select the top club in the state, Elite.

by Medicine Man 09/03/18, 03:32 pm

Da2 will not be in the short run what will happen to those kids who knows. Probably jump ship for ECNL clubs. Abandon ship! I guess they can pool those players somewhere. That's assuming they still have ECNL? Lots of questions.

I know nothing about Nebraska soccer, but YSR would say both Elite and Sporting are the two best clubs in the state with the edge going to Sporting.
But landing a DA spot is at least as much about coaching and infrastructure than it is about winning. I assume Sporting ticked more boxes. Gotta think Sporting will pick up the cream of Elite players now, which will make them stronger.
And Sporting appears to be a significant upgrade over FCKC.

Timmy...Timmy...Timmy. I'm sure you're right, DA would only pick the correct club with the most money, so the other club could send their players over....nevermind strength of coaching or track record. Thank goodness you checked with Bige before posting this. Trust in the soccer powers my friend, they always make the right decisions for the kids.

Did you not play well in that game?

I'm not following. You think US Soccer adds a secret "most money" qualification over infrastructure, coaching, and history of player development when approving applications? Or you think that top players from Elite won't want to research switching clubs to be involved in a local GDA program?

by Jugglemaster 09/03/18, 07:42 pm

These changes are going to be a mess.

by Medicine Man 09/03/18, 08:30 pm

It's going be the Greatest Show on Earth, one big Circus.

by OkieEnergyDad 09/03/18, 08:42 pm

Super excited! On an unrelated note, can I borrow some money?

by Jugglemaster 09/03/18, 08:50 pm

Hoping dues double too. Icing on the cake.

Why? DA should be cheaper than what you are paying now.

by OkieEnergyDad 10/03/18, 12:12 pm

I thought each club handles the DA finances in their own way. We aren't a big club with big $ sponsors. I'm assuming my cost will go up. I would love for it to go down, but I will believe that when i see it.

If DA is moving toward letting clubs “do their own finances” we will have DA with double fees shortly.

by AtThePitch 10/03/18, 12:22 pm

Da is suppose to be free to play Okie.

by OkieEnergyDad 10/03/18, 12:40 pm

So the league doesn't have costs, but my travel expenses will go up significantly. That all lands on me. Our club doesn't pay for any travel expenses. It will be interesting to see if it's less expensive, a wash, or more expensive than the current situation. I'm a pessimist, so I expect it to go up...lol

by Zizou 10/03/18, 01:03 pm

Your club fees should go down significantly.

by Guest 10/03/18, 01:34 pm

Or not.

Don't be such an ASSHAT!

Just because your FC Dallas club fees went down "significantly" does NOT mean everyone else's did. Quit being such a pompous prick and recognize that everyone's experience does not mirror yours. (I will let you in on a little secret - not all DA teams dues went down significantly).

You are starting to sound like BigE. You 2 are made for each other.

Actually, as I understand it, you've got some especially deep pocketed oil types backing you....You guys are actually going to be one of the few DA clubs that actually DON'T have their DA players pay any $$$...that's my strong bet.

As far as Celtic/ECNL, that's gotta chap....Masterstroke by ECNL, though. Who knows how it'll all shake out...just glad that we're on the east side of the state and mostly insulated! It's gonna be a battle royal for the pool of talent in metro OKC area...Southlakes doomed, sadly....Hope I'm wrong...
