Have a friend at TFA. Mentioned 6 plus months ago there was talk of a deal with TFA and LAFC regarding players. LAFC would take the players that typically age out of TFA because they did not have older age groups, rather then the team leaving and going to multiple clubs. In return LAFC would offer some other resources and supports, not sure what those were. Wonder if this scenario is still in play.The youngers play local and you don't play Vancouver since they are not in the SW.
Yes Ussda is expensive and so is travel. Finances may had something to do with it but I don't think it was a primarily factor for them.
In any case TFA is reporting getting or think they will have u16/17 age group for 20-21 from the latest I heard this week.
