So true. It's amazing how much ignorance there is about the origins of soccer. One reason for this is the misinformation on many websites. Many claim it started in the 700s with the English farmers but these same sources don't go ( perhaps deliberately ) farther back than the 700s

It seems to me now the DA program is getting watered down and becoming more about money. I know we are talking about u12 teams but when will it start to be u10 DA?

The kids with a level of skill slightly below that needed to play DAP at the older ages will actually end up saving money. There will be better talent now competing for those U13 & U14 DAP roster spots, due to identification at the U12 DAP level, so these borderline kids may not make it to the next level. They'll stick to NPL/NEP, instead of paying the hefty fees for U13&U14 DAP, just to get replaced at the U15/U16 level, which happens often now.
