Quote: With the USSF Development Academy, unfortunately the USYSA series is irrelevant. It's so watered down with the top teams and players gone. However, for those interested, the USSF Academy playoffs are 150 plus miles up the road in Greensboro, NC next week. Not a bad day trip for top youth soccer for the boys.
I don't think the title of this thread is benefits of USSF Academy vs USYSA. These players/teams have worked very hard to get to regionals and once upon a time your kid belonged in this watered down league too. Please take your negative comments and start your own thread. Good luck to your team in the playoffs.
Apologies again to everyone. Really was read the wrong way. Best of luck to SC club teams at USYSA Regionals! Got no dog in the fight, just a soccer fan of all levels wanting to see the game develop the right way. Sometimes an objective opinion is just that.
LMPITYTW, stating an opinion is what these forums are about. If the truth hurts, again, I do apologize. But, this is an opinion based medium and all did was state one person's opinion. Maybe a good time to leave the kitchen.
