DA coming to U9?
https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/inside-double-pass-the-best-kept-secret-in-youth-development-is-coming-to-America
This is the link to an article on the Double Pass corporation US Soccer hired to consult on the state of US Soccer. The article is long and discusses what the firm did for other soccer nations and some plans for US Soccer in the future. It is always interesting to see what is coming and I found this quite interesting:
"And while an overall strategy is not yet in place, work has begun. According to the academy directors contacted for this story, five MLS clubs and a handful of non-MLS academies are involved in a year one pilot program. And per Double Pass's recommendation, U.S. Soccer will soon mandate that all Developmental Academies begin at the under-9 age group (The current system begins at the U14/U15 level"
From other sources it looks like DA will go to U12 next Fall ( 2016) but it may go even younger soon thereafter.
