What We Know
U.S. Soccer has asked that all 80 Development Academy clubs
make the move to a 10-month season in 2012-13 to ensure their players are
building skills and fitness while establishing continuity in their
training. Essentially, all clubs will
start their pre-season in September and finish with a Playoff/Showcase event in
June, hence the 10-month season. To that
end, we want to give each of you enough information concerning this change to
make an honest and forthright decision concerning your son’s soccer future as
the high school soccer season will no longer be an option should you make the
Academy roster. I have attached a
document from US Soccer (Embracing the Challenge) which discusses the move along
with a link to a video. If you have any
questions concerning the 10-Month Season do not hesitate to call us prior to
the tryout.
Division Realignment –
The newly reconfigured Great Lakes Division will consist of 4
teams from the Chicago area – Sockers,
Chicago Fire, Chicago Magic, and FC
Milwaukee; our travel partner from
the south, the Columbus
Crew; 2 teams from Michigan –Wolves and Vardar; and Indiana United. Added this coming year will be our old
friends from St Louis (Scott Gallagher
Metro and Missouri) and two clubs from the Minneapolis area (Minnesota Thunder
Academy and Shattuck-St Marys Soccer Academy).
Except for showcases all 30 games will be played within the division and
spread over the full 10 month season. Competition still doesn’t get any better than
this !
