Elimination of Dual Age Bands?

Did DA eliminate the dual age band for 2003 and 2004, but keep the dual age band for 2002 and 2001 players? Is anyone able to confirm?

Pretty sure that is correct. It looks like the oldest group will be the dual band because you have juniors mixed with seniors.

Makes sense for HS Seniors to bail out of DA restrictions once they have their college commitment sewed up and realize they are not going to be National Team prospects, no matter which flavor of Koolaid is offered at practice.

Things have changed. They now offer Gatorade at practice.

I was hooked on the extra strong 04 DA Cherry Flavor back in June of 2017. In fact, I was one of the first to get in line to receive my packets of koolaid. After drinking too much on a few occasions (coaches telling my daughter she is so close, the NT scouts love her, keep working harder, give up HS sports, give up social life, dances, beach days ect) I decided to enter rehab. Now I only drink vegetable juice (find a coach who tells it like it is).

Are you saying that the prospect or potential of YNT invites is being used as a recruiting and/or customer retention tactic?

Some clubs sell the potential of YNT.

To be fair, some clubs oversell no matter what league they play in. For example....how does Murrieta Surf get away with calling teams USSDA Pre-Academy?

Clubs oversell because it’s what parents want to hear. I have literally heard it all!

I've heard second hand stories about this, but this is the first time I've heard someone willing to admit that it factored into their decision process. If you don't mind answering... what made you enter "KoolAid Rehab" so to speak? :D
