Thought this was interesting... I looked up the club teams who made it to 2007 US Youth National Championships last year, U-15 to U-17 boys (Yes, I was bored) Anyway, 2/3's of all teams who made it are now playing Academy and 2/3's of the crowned National Champs are also in the Academy.

I only searched the ages who would now be playing U-16 & U-18.

The other 1/3 happened to be from Texas & Arizona, which may not make alot of sense for them since they have plenty of talent right in their back yard.

Redcard

Do you have a son playing for the Bridge Academy? If so, can you tell me how it has been on this Academy as far as money goes. When the team travels, do the parents also travel or does Bridge rent a bus or something?

Has any players been contacted by Coaches interested in them? Are they being seen by other academy staff?

Justwant,

Yes I do, and the price seems to be about the same as it has always been. So far they haven't rented buses but they do carpool and share rooms (very much like in ODP) Several parents do still travel and help out with rides.

I can tell you there have been college coaches at just about every Academy game so far and yes, several players have been contacted by these coaches. (In all fairness, there may be just as many college coaches at other league games at this age, I don't know)

Also I am pretty sure each game is video taped for the Academy use. Somebody else may can enlighten us on who reviews the DVD's of each game, sorry I can't help you on this one.

Bridge verses CASL academy, scores anyone?

"CASL United U-15/16 opened their Development Academy campaign with a 4-1 win on the road in Charleston, S.C., where they took on Bridge FA in Atlantic Conference action."

This was taken off the USSF Academy web site. Has Bridge been playing the weaker teams in the Academy and now they will be meeting their hardest teams?

On the Field


Where did you get the scores from, I cant find them on US Soccer websites. How did the older boys do?

http://www.ussoccer.com/teams/acad/index.jsp.html It is on the front page click on the more...

I copied and pasted the schedule from the schedule page.

Thank you

Sock Monkey,

You can get all scores & news sent directly to your mobile phone if that would be easier for you.
