The current 00/01 DA team is pretty much all 02s playing up, with a few 01s. I think the dynamics will be similar to what you describe, but there aren't many girls left in the club to make up that oldest team once most of the already committed girls head back to CUP.Would the dynamics be any different than the current 00/01 DA team? The DA had tons of girls go to OE 01's and 02's and more that went to the the CDA and their teams are still doing well in DA.

Kind of stinks for those 02s... they gave up high school soccer to get beat up in the oldest DA group that doesn't go to most of the showcases / events. That U18/19 team plays about 2 games a MONTH and are done at the end of May. For the ones that are already committed and just want to play soccer, what's the point??
Is the DA even worth it anymore? After two years have we seen enough to know that is has been a massive failure?

I don't see that the DA is a failure, but I would argue that the trade-offs are questionable.Please quantify your accusations of what you believe shows they have failed. IS it all the National Youth Teams call ups or what?

Regarding your question: have there been any call-ups this year? Seems like once Tiff left, there has not been any mention of CDA kids on the USGNTs. U17 roster was just announced for the 2020 world cup... none on there.
Well..... I imagine that the older CUP girls teams are going to be STACKED as in days of old. Am guessing that many of the 2001 & 2002s that have committed already are not going to deal with the DA anymore and go play high school.
I would put money down that the top 2002 CUP team will win USYS Nationals next year.
The oldest U18/19 DA team at CDA is going to STRUGGLE.
Can anyone clarify what the high school age girls Cup team structure will be? Looking at their website they list a Director and Associate Director for Cup GOLD for the high school age groups. Then there are Assistant Director positions for CUP North and CUP South for U14-19. So does that mean they are following the structure set up in the younger age groups with “North” amd “South”? Does that allow them to have more teams labeled CUP and appease parents who may have had players pushed back down due to CDA players returning? Is CUP Gold going to be separate in order to maintain the atmosphere of what CDA Premier was? maybe I missed something but this does look like a change...

As with every club I am sure its the same at CU / CUP. Depends on the numbers that show up and the talent level tat shows up. If there is not enough talent then CUP won't just form a team I have noticed over the years. Seems like they are one of the only ones that does it like that.
Dude for real.
Remember I posted this a few months back...
"Since only the 14's played in the fall, look at this show.
CUP Gold / Bottom half of National league Premier 1 with a losing record
CUP North (aka CUP Black) / Dead last in National league Premier 2 with no wins and 1 goal for 35 against. I've never seen a CUP branded team that bad, and I've seen a lot of CUP teams the last 10 years
CUP South (AKA CUP Black) / Dead last in National league first division 2/8/0 with -25 goal differential
CU SE 1 / 1 win in Buckeye State
CU LM 1 / Only 1 win in Buckeye Elite
CU SM 1 / 1 win in Buckeye Challenge 2"
So seems they will form a CUP/CU team with no talent just for the money. Or am I missing something.
I'm not sure National team invites or bust is a good evaluation of the success of a program.
We saw a few National League teams this year and I was surprised at their competitiveness. If your kid is in National League, ECNL, or DA, they're getting solid exposure and training. It's likel arguing who'se uglier, Kim or Chloe Kardashian.
State CUP seems to suggest that CDA and CUP Gold are still at the top of the food chain at the state level.
Even ignoring injuries, the 03s are going to be down significantly in numbers as well, since all the current 02s on the team will have to move (up or out).I heard they are not going to have enough players to even make a DA team in the 01/02 age group. Lots of girls not doing it next year.

Better look again at the teams records.. I think you may be wrong... Just a quick look shows CU LM Elite 4 wins 2 losses, CU SE 3-3 and CUSM 2-2 I dont have time to look at the other league but you sure can.
That was after last fall.
Didn't bother looking now, saw all I needed to see.
On a related note KD looks good in OP ECNL Black and White...And this just 18 months after the P sisters jumped the sinking ship. Interesting huh?

I suggest you look at the U14s this year then... You are way off base.

Looks like there are ALREADY some faces on the OE and the OP ECNL rosters that are currently playing with the DA. I wonder what happens if US Soccer finds kids violating the DA's "thou shalt not play for any other team" policy?
Yeah you're right.
CUP south
OSSL 2-7-0 / 10 scored 30 allowed
NL GLC 3rd div 3-3 / 9 scored 9 allowed
CUP North
OSSL 1-8-0 / 6 scored 37 allowed
NL GLC 4th div 1-5-0 / 6 scored 12 allowed
I'm going to go out on a limb and say one or both of those teams should be regular CU teams. That CUP North team is a combined 2-21 in 2 leagues fall and spring with 13 goals scored and 84 against. Like I said been around CUP for 10 years +/- does that sound like a CUP team? Sounds like a CU team that should be playing 2nd level or lower buckeye teams. AKA a money team.
