Ok Joking aside it is a new club and brand new teams always perform badly until the training and familiarity kicks in.
Click Reign in the drop down.

Does anyone know how much those parents are paying? Ouch...
Girls’ DA just needs to cut their losses and move on. Pre”DA” and “Academy” teams getting waxed in the PSPL? Is their plan to recruit players from the teams beating them?

At my kid's school, I can not see them being too friendly or happy if my kid had to miss school for soccer, especially if she didn't play for the school. Just saying...

The two oldest teams have quite a few kids who have chosen to stay there throughout the first four years of the program, so apparently a lot of those who are most familiar with the program are satisfied with the competition and the development and college opportunities they’ve found. They said, both Reign and DA generally have a lot of issues to work through if they want to be successful in the long term.

Not that I enjoy being the history police but SU left the partnership first then then EFC last.

To be fair I think ECNL is just under that depending on team travel, XF subsidy etc.

The older teams would be extremely weak without that feeder. At the younger ages we are seeing what happens without the partnership. No feeder program and WYS clubs fighting to keep their kids away from the Reign.

It's too early in the season to count Reign Academy out. There are some strong new coaches this year.
That said, a slow start can't fully be attributed to weaknesses in development offered. Two years ago, they urged a bunch of girls at the 02 and 03 level not to try out because they probably wouldn't be asked back. They thought they'd be flooded with talent and guess what? Not many kids showed up to try out to replace the girls pushed out. A few others have left for ECNL so they can play HS, and we're arrived at the current situation where they've offered to let girls play HS in order to keep them, they're accused of poaching players etc I think only about half the U17 roster has been with Reign from the beginning to be "developed"
