spring 2016 academy league

Since UAL will not have an AP league in the spring of 2016 and will not implement the change until fall 2016....what are the teams going to look like in the spring?

Primetime will have an AP league.

so what teams play UAL if it is not AP?

Where will the age pure 05 teams play? I saw a note that primetime will only have age pure academy divisions from 06 and younger...apparently UAL and primetime are not options for teams that will be six months out from qualifying.

So current mixed year 05/06 teams will still play together this spring? Seems like a waste. That makes no sense six months out from QT.

Will any league offer AP05 this spring?

We will offer 05 AP on Saturdays at MG. I will have more info and registration link up this week.

Boys teams maybe, they don't seem as concerned about ap yet.

I don't think any league or game is a waste. Players just want to play and have fun.

It's out of character for UAL(CFBAL) to ignore the needs of their customer base. I suspect it will cost them major numbers. I get it though; we all have a boss. UAL has to be in line with LH I assume.

I suspect UAL will have an age pure division just like PT in the spring. Nicole is never one to ignore the desires of her teams. If her coaches ask for it I guarantee she will deliver it. She is one of the best without a doubt.

"Enforcing" the federation changes early is not the same thing as "offering" AP divisions. AP divisions is no different from offering platinum, Gold etc. or 9v9 vs 11v11 etc. trust me if the coaches want AP divisions I have full confidence Nicole will make it happen for them.

Last I had seen UAL required NTX Academy forms, and did not permit US Club rosters for league play. So how would Nicole pull off an AP05 league and allow AP05s that are currently select to play in it with what will be their future AP05 squad?

Now Primetime which does accept US Club rosters, can have an AP05 league comprised of current u10 academy AP05s and current select AP05s.

Nicole is the best, but she just may not be able to pull that off because of the technicalities involved.

I would be surprised if many AP2005 teams are planning to play spring with Jan- July 2005 birth players that are currently signed on select teams.

I didnt say teams, I said players.  Primetimes league could be used as a sort of incubator.

There are select AP05s right now that will be staying in 05 land,  no one doubts that.  There are AP05s in academy land that will be merging up with those players...

I doubt everyone will simply wait until June to hold some scrimmages, do the obligatory pre QT qualifier and expect that to make a team ready for QT.

I will never say never... but come on now.

Ok so your talking pie in the sky, gotcha

My recommendation is to have your academy coaches/managers talk to Nicole and explain what your looking for and see what she can do.  

That was my only point

and to clarify NTX changed the tryout period. So as soon as teams finish league play or state cup (whichever is later) all players are eligible to start shopping if they so choose to do so.

There is no doubt that this may-July is going to be crazy and I doubt an AP 2005 league is going to do much of anything to help with that

Ask and you shall receive.............UAL WILL in fact have an AP05 division! I have never ignored the consumers and not about to start now. You wanted playing format options - you got it. You wanted futsal outdoor in the summer - you got it..............I would never disappoint the customers of UAL, not now or ever. With all of the changes heading our way in NT, UAL will offer many choices this upcoming spring season to best fit all coaches/player's needs.
Look for registration to open the end of November.

See what a little forum chatter can do!

I am assuming AP06 as well?

But of course

Few questions.
Can AP06 players play up with AP 05s in AP05 divisions ?
AP05 players cannot play in AP 06 divisions. Correct?
Can AP 05s ( jan to july) and having no contract with LH teams play on AP05 teams ?
When is the registration starting ?

UAL 05 AP is not a viable option, because of NTX rules.

1. NTX does not allow U10's to play in a select league with U11's.
2. NTX does not allow U11 players with a NTX select contract to play in two NTX leagues at the same time.

There is no point in forming 05 AP league teams of just August through December 2005 players. That doesn't get them ready for next year, it just collects cash for the club.

05 AP is about mixing all 2005 players together. PT has said they will offer 05 AP in the spring. January through July 2005 players can play with August through December 2005 players for a true 05 AP team. Since they are US Club Soccer, teams can play with PT and in LH, PPL, or APL.

Any player can play up - but what's the point of the AP if you have players that aren't AP?
