huge reason behind USSF creating DA, besides training players for the style of play they want NT players to play, is to train athletes to be able to manage games with the limited substitution rules of international soccer. In the DA games, NO re entry, 3 stoppages for substitutions, 5 substitutions max.
SO, with that it does not make sense to have a large roster, and 18 would be about the max. that would only leave two players getting zero minutes per game. With each DA team comprising of two year classes, thats not alot of spots, unless a team is willing to field a large roster and will have many players sit out each game. Think about that if you are with the Breakers. look at your 01/02 rosters, and your 99/00 rosters who is the top 18, or are you willing to stomach a huge roster and sit a third of your games? If you think DA is going to water down the ECNL, WHAT do you think that will leave the NPL? Good luck with that

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI've seen a few club presentations that are floating around the internet. All were priced about $2500 not including travel to games for 2-3 showcases. So there's some savings over ECNL not huge and probably not enough to sway the average middle to upper income soccer family - they'll chose based on best fit, not cost.

Not a tough one to figure out

Watching the stampede to GDAP team once YNT coaches prefer those Stars over the ECNL ones. Priceless.

Originally posted by UnregisteredI doubt they have any loyalty to FCB. That seems like a stretch. I agree they are trying to figure out where the girls want/can play. I'm not sure why there's a separate thread for this, though. Let's include in the DA/ECNL so we can see if we can get real insight rather than start with the club bashing.

Originally posted by UnregisteredMy NT pool daughter was told to get on GDA team from NT coaches. We are evaluating both options, but the uncertainty of the Stars GDA future concerns us, although we'd probably prefer it for other reasons. But thinking Breakers will have the stronger DA team.
