    It's free, just pay a bond that annually rolls over

      The claim that DA clubs pay large franchise fees to USSF is quite simply false. Each DA club posts a one time $2,500.00 refundable bond and now pays yearly registration fees of $100.00 for each DA player and $25.00 for each DA coach.

      For that, USSF operates all USSDA leagues, all USSDA games and all showcase events, pays all referee fees and provides Nike balls, Power-Aid stations, coach curriculum, technical advisors, scouts and need-based scholarship money for player travel.

      Much greater value is received for those payments to USSF than is received for the sums of money that players/clubs/teams now pay for FYSA and league memberships, referee fees and State Cup participation.

        The issue is its still a pay to play league. In order to find and develop our Nations bet it needs to be available to all walks of life, not just the financially elite. The best players in the world weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

        Also DA needs to separate entirely from clubs and be run and governed by USSoccer.

          Are you suggesting that our congress increase our taxes enough to fully fund the USSF with all of the money necessary for it to pay for all of the local, regional and national field space, all of the goals, all of the equipment, all of the field flags, all of the tents, all of the benches, all of the training gear, all of the coach gear, all of the uniforms, all of the balls, all of the cones, all of the cell phones, all of the water, all of the electricity, all of the office space, all of the coaches, all of the administrators, all of the referees, all of the medical trainers, all of the tape, all of the bus and airplane travel and lodging, all of the insurance premiums and all of the other expenses required to operate the USSDA program? Now that their children have aged out of youth soccer, I'm confidant that all of the "baby boomer" (and for that matter, all other) voters of this county will go for that. Aren't You?

            $100 per player DA reg fee is insane. That's where they make all the $$$$. Each club will be paying $6900 plus $25 per coach for their 3 teams.

              Thanks for yet another useless post, Mr DA Hater. $100 per player is not insane. Your hatred of the DA is. Still can't get over your kid not making it several years ago. Sad.....

                The hundred dollars would be fine but plenty of the DA's are still pay to play. Only the MLS and a few straggler clubs are free to the athletes. So there is still an issue with the system and though thru mandate the Da's U16-!8 can have a total of 46 players between them the DA's for the pay clubs have learned to get around the system, by having 8-12 developmental players that they sucker into the reserve with promises of the first team, then play them 2 games at most....by the way there is nothing with a true reserve where players come up or down from the first team, and if they use the reserve team adequately playing good tournaments and developing those players as they do in the professional leagues.

                    US Soccer also claims that by being a DA, clubs must give up their right to FIFA transfer fees. Three major clubs have filed a lawsuit against US Soccer about this practice, very recently.

                      Let`s be more specific. In clubs, where DA is "free", all the other, non-DA players pay the fee.

                        Love how girls parents assume every post is about GIRLS soccer! Believe it or not there is actually a DA system already in place and has been for several years now. FOR BOYS!!!

                          And the talk has been about the DA structure in general. Sorry but the Girls DA will also be a part of the conversation.

                          And of course parents of girls are going to look at the DA from the perspective of girls soccer. Thank you Captain Obvious for your astute observation.

                            Sure he does. LOL! Get over yourself. EVERY sport charges a player registration fee, some are higher than others. $100 is nothing. And I hope you don't kiss your kids good night with that mouth!

                              Sorry your club didn't get DA.......No need to get hostile. Try again next time.

                                It isn't at all. It helps cover insurance and administrative costs.

                                Why do you care anyway? Don you think youd get that $100 fee back from your your pay to play club?
