Curious how US Soccer will deal with the Rapids and Discoveries both having DA(U13/14). Also, will Boys ECNL make them give up one of the ECNL programs or allow the new group to keep two teams. Finally, will DA now be free or subsidized by the USL team, much like the MLS does...?

from the webpage -- looks like the intend to set up a north and south program for the u13 and 14s - then one centralized team at u15+
What are the National level options (DA, ECNL, NPL) for my child with Charlotte Independence Soccer Club? All national level programs (Development Academy, ECNL, NPL) will be run under the central management of Charlotte Independence Soccer Club. Teams (excluding senior girls) will have open identification sessions for all players who are interested in being considered for one of or more of these teams. Players should first sign up for tryouts at their HOME location, and then may attend any ID session that they are gender and age appropriate for.
National program teams will be either regionalized or club-wide. Regionalized teams will be hosted in the North (training in Mooresville and Cornelius) or hosted in the South (training in Fort Mill and Matthews). Club-wide programs will occur throughout the greater Charlotte area.
The U13 and U14 Boys Development Academy teams will be regionalized – with a North and South team for each age group.
The U15 – U19 Boys Development Academy will be hosted club-wide.
The U13 – U19 Girls and Boys ECNL teams will be regionalized with a North and South team for each age and gender.
The U13 – U19 Girls NPL teams will be regionalized also with both a North and South teams for each age and gender. There will only be North regional teams for Boys NPL.
The Independence North location will have girls ECNL, girls NPL, boys DA, boys ECNL, and boys NPL.
The Independence South location will have girls NPL, boys DA and boys ECNL.

What is interesting is clubs like NCFC and now Charlotte Independence will have 2 clubs competing at < u15, where as Atlanta United has 1......
Something seems wrong with that....... Granted Atlanta has 6 other clubs helping to fulfill those needs, but it's completely different when they are under the same "umbrella"

Do NCFC, Rowdies (TBU/Rowdies), or St. Louis FC (I'm sure there are others) subsidize their respective affiliated DA squads? Seems like that would be a big investment for a USL team. But maybe it happens.

I've heard of other USL type clubs subsidizing the costs. I have a family friend who's kid plays at St. Louis FC and I believe they subsidized. Another parent on my daughter's team has family who go to TBU/Rowdies. From what I gather, TBU does NOT subsidize but instead charges you for every single line item(field maintenance, volunteers, etc.)...FG

Granted Atlanta has 6 other clubs helping to fulfill those needs, but it's completely different when they are under the same "umbrella" I've always been intrigued by that too. Multiple locations pooling into one team. I'm closely watching the "alliance" between CF n SSA. I believe for the rising U15s for next year, the current U14 SSA coach is going to take that team. Does the current U14 coach for CF get a say or input as to who also gets to make the combined team? Does it matter if said CF coach is the head of DA for CF? How do the current CF players and parents feel about the decision being put into the hands of a coach from another club, who doesn't know them as well?

Only 3 clubs at 15 and up (only 2 w/ open tryouts). So I would think any coach is going to take the best they can see over the 3 days.

Sounds like potentially a good big merger.

Do you think any top u14s at NASA, Lanier, AFC players are being recruited or evaluated by UFA, Concorde and/or AU? Will be very interesting to see if any displaced concorde u14s ends up elsewhere. I think most will be happy and stick around to play ECNL.
