The majority of the players in the Academy program are 15+ at this point most of them should have an idea of who can defend, who your midfielders are and who your forwards are. For defenders, playing against the best forwards is what makes them better and vice versa for the forwards. Same thing for midfielders with midfielders. And in my opinion the state will not achieve its maximum success or development until the best players from the state can play together and make each other better.
