By "rising U15 boy" do you mean pre- or post-mandate--i.e., what birth year? It gets really confusing since DA isn't adopting age mandate until 2017. I know invites went out for DA U16 (2000/2001) and U18 (1998/1999) but have not heard anything about the U15-only (2001) team. The 01 boy that I know got invited, his invite says U16. All the invites have gone out is what i heard, and the kids that were not invited back received an email. The confusing thing for me, regarding the example above, is that there was no 2001s/U16 ID session (as far as I know), so how would they receive such an email?

This is not for the younger kids that went to the ID Camp, this is for the older boys that have been invited to the tryouts (01 and up). I think its just a ATLUnited drawstring bag and a card, I wouldn't call it a swag box lol Ah, for the older kids, basically the GA United team... Hey...i talked to a GAU kid this morning, said he didn't get invite for tryouts. Said about 6 kids didn't but they have been told they may still get one. He said some invites are being handed out by hand. i'm not sure how many GAU kids across the board in all teams. I guess it wasn't a blanket invite to all

That is correct! and he said he's not the only one, there's about 6 boys in the same boat. Not sure if he meant 6 between both teams or just his team. I had heard it from a parent this morning so I went directly to the source and confirmed it.

Well, he could be U15 also if they have a separate U15 team as mentioned on the AUFC web site. Speaking of U15 DA, has anyone heard if there will be tryouts for that?

I don't think anyone knows except AUFC at this point .

I think its great that this is being done! I heard this was a necessary move since 2 local clubs wanted to get paid in order to recommend players. What a sad move on their part, their pockets are more important that the development of these kids.

This statement from AUFC seems confusing: The Atlanta United Academy will consist of teams in age groups U-12, U-13, U-14, U-15, U-16, and U-18; while the invitation said Who: Under 16 (2000-2001) & Under 18 (1998-1999) players.
Will they have a U15 age group or not?

2002s did have an ID session, so I am thinking yes to U15.

The 2002s for DA next year are considered to be u14s for next year, not u15s
