With all sports training programs not only DA the biggest problem is the ability for a coach to see when a player or a team has plateaued. That is when changes need to be made. That could be training changes or player changes. As a coach, we know when a player has peaked. The players are like our children and telling them that they have peaked and they are cut is a hard conversation. Coach loyalty becomes an issue. It is easy to fall into the trap of they are good kids I will keep them on the roster. Maybe, if they work harder they can get better.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
For DA a specific I support the DA program. The one negative I see is that clubs are limited in the size of their player pools . I feel a better solution should be a 50 to 60 players in the pool at the 15-18 level and 70-90 for ages 12-14. In doing that the players can get a consistent training curriculum and the coaches will have the ability to move players up and down from the first team as they develop. That would require creating 1st and 2nd teams. The only problem that creates is with the parents. Parents have big issues with their player moving down. You never hear a parent complain if they move up but if they are moved down you are in for a show.
This way a coach can really get a chance to evaluate talent and work ethic of each player. Also, the player will know that every spot on the team is competitive and you must give your best effort or you are at risk of losing your spot.
To have truly competitive environment a player needs the fear that someone is going to take their spot. Without that pressure talent becomes lazy. The idea is you always need to bring your A game. If you do not have your A game next player up.
It is a tough lesson to learn at 14-17 but it is a lesson that the player will benefit from for years to come.
Regardless of the profession if you are not pushed productivity suffers. Any team that is attempting to provide the best developmental environment that is not constantly looking to bring in new players is destined to be mediocre at best. The coaching staff needs to be able to identify what is the highest level they want their team to achieve. If a player cannot develop to play at that level in a reasonable amount of time. The coach should make the tough choice and cut a player.

ChargersU12
I dont know about you guys but from what I hear the Clearwater Chargers U12 boys are pretty good. They won presidents cup which is pretty much state cup for the younger ages, with a convincing 1-0 win against kendall in the finals. They are also number 2 in the state and 50 or something in the nation if that gives any consolation to the Chargers.Comment

LOL! What butthurt troll doesn't want to admit is that he has posted waaaaaay more than 50 troll comments about the Chargers since they cut his kid a few years ago, probably more like 1,000+ troll comments! That's what really needs to be retired here, your butthurt trolling!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

u12, so yes some 11 yo and young 12 yo. Your point? These kids are the State Champs! You knock Chargers, but when they have a state champ, you want to dismiss it as them being 11 yo? LOL! Props to them for having a good young team in the club, one that will most likely fill many DA spots in the near future. The STARS of tomorrow! You trolls can't handle it!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
