    The brand is big with PDA, but they only has a reach into some colleges and not the others. I would say once PDA establishes a pathway into a college - they will keep sending in players into that college.

    The home area is the entire NJ and parts of Penn and NY, and they do recruit "stars" but not "superstars".
    What colleges would you say they have a pipeline to?

      Rutgers, Columbia, South Carolina, Duke.

      Not sure with duke since the assistant coach moved on.

        Pipeline to Duke? Stop. Duke recruits from the top of the pool. No one has a pipeline there. Columbia is as much about academics as anything else. Rutgers ..sure. The rest..just no

            Is PDA planning to move one of their ECNL slots to PDA South? Or will they continue with PDA Blue and PDA White?

              They will probably just award themselves a third ecnl slot to give to South.

                It will be interesting to see if any of the white teams are even competitive. The only one that stands out is the 2003 team. We should all do a slow clap on an awesome money grab. White teams make MF look like a solid program.

                    Nope they would never do that as they view those locations as feeders to the real deal teams.

                      Truth! As long as you can write a check there is ECNL or DA team waiting to take your money!

                        If there was a chance that Rush/SJB would start pulling players from PDA South, I'm sure they would find a sweet spot for a ECNL team in the south. As they are not yet pulling in any players, there is no competition. PDA South will most likely going to one of the tiers of the ECNL playoffs via ECNLR.

                          Agreed, and unfortunately the system (which has become a pure business) only condones the pay to play environment and rarely provides any real quality development. When it comes to PDA their A teams are worth it if you get to play; the rest are typically not but that varies by age group so do your research!

                              Soccer is played in the rain. If your player needs dry conditions, she will have to find another sport

                                Stick to baseball or softball if you don’t like rain
