Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAs a parent with a kid currently in the U12 DA program I can say that while not ideal, it's really not that big of a deal. Yes, some offside calls are missed, but the same can be said for games with AR's as well. It is 9v9 on a pretty small pitch. The concept is still there, and yes the boys are learning. Very happy so far!!!

True results don't matter at this age for the DA but they matter to the 11 year old kid the first year the DA progam has run this age group. Results matter to kids more at this age then any other the transparency of fair play is recorded in the minds of a 11 year old not in the results. I will have to say the training is intensive for this age group as well will see the burn out levels soon I am sure DA program needs to think of the age group and family needs at this age as well.

I agree with you that the DA program should re-think starting at u12. 11 is too young. But, it is the system we have. You choose to do it, or your don't. Either way, at this age, forget about the result, and help your kid become a better player.
