2018-2019 DPL Season

Well I have our clubs schedule for practice and games and we have that week off for now. DA has the Florida Winter Showcase shortly after. I guess some teams could choose to entire a DA bracket.
 
So this add pops up for DPL slippers complete with the logo:

Revive Light Therapy DPL Slipper - Arthritis and Foot Pain Light Therapy (Large). Only $110 on amz.

Not the real da slippers but heck if you wear these part time before midnight you never know you might turn into Cinderella.
 
You’re adding afterthoughts that aren’t a part of the discussion in order further your Hateraide for DPL. .Dontou have some sort of daily “shit on DPL quota” you must meet?

I said nothing about the tournaments, we are talking about League Play. I just weighed in that during League Play, I find it to be an advantage of ECNL, DA and DPL that they play teams from outside the “Bubble”.

But you have to pull it into DPL specifics and twist it into a negative. To fit your anti-DPL commentary. I could see you holding on to the gate had your kid been wronged by their system, but you’ve admitted that your kids have aged out. So why? You used to bring value and comic relief to the forum. Now a Days its just DPL sucks this, DPL sucks that.... I kinda miss the old Fact.
I get a kick out of the DPL haters.

I will try to summarize.

- It will never happen. No club is going to offer something called DPL. etc etc.
- What? it is only 9 games? What kind of league is that. Leagues need to play more than 9 games.
- It is only 9 games and the competition sucks. Why bother?
- This year...rumor of fall and spring. What? now these players can't play in other leagues? That sucks. Now they are in a closed circuit.
- Now announced fall and spring 24 games including some nice showcases? Well that is not good. Playing the same teams all year (like DA and ECNL). So they can't play in other So Cal leagues? That sucks. DPL is terrible.
- Only a couple of showcases? (conveniently forgetting that these teams can sign up and play in other events outside what is currently being considered).
- Oh and as always...the DPL teams suck for the most part.

I may have missed a few in there. But that kind of summarizes the progression of the criticism of DPL...usually by the same few people as well.
It is the usual few haters and the perimenopausal FACT hating on DPL. These people hate for personal reasons.

Some of us weren’t given a choice this year with this DPL. When you look at the SW ECNL teams and then the DPL teams, candidly there is some very good competition in both, probably more strong teams within the DPL. We shall see....

Significant upgrade in the DPL program this year as well. Same fields setup as DA with Trainers and video services at every game.

DA did hurt the DPL and ECNL players who planned to guest, like my daughter did last season. Now unless becoming a rostered PT player and give up HS in the fall season not possible to play however in the spring we shall see what is possible.

Seriously, there is no comparing ECNL to DPL. Let it go and enjoy your league. I thought that argument had already been settled.:rolleyes: DPL is just a fancy term for B team.

Overall, ECNL is better. No question. On an individual team level, there are DPL teams better than some ECNL teams. Think of most Surf B teams (DPL) compared to most Sharks A teams (ECNL).

My memory may be faulty but didn't surf teams handle the sharks last year? And last year those surf teams in ECNL were the B team. And up until 2 months ago those surf teams were ECNL until the sudden change to DPL.
 
So, I see the DA website updates scores, stats, cards, etc but the DPL site only shows. scores & cards. Anyone know if that's as good as is gets, or if they'll eventually follow suit?

Which proves my point that adding the initials DPL does nothing other than costing more. They are the same team they were last year regardless of the patch.
 
Serious question- Now that DPL will include many of the same features as DA games, trainers, video etc. how are clubs passing that cost on? As we know DA is costing clubs a lot of money and some clubs did not want the single age band due to cost, so now with DPL costing more who is footing the bill?

That's what he's saying. SD Surf's DPL teams are a rare exception in that they're better than many other clubs ECNL and DA teams. But families are obviously not happy about the lack of exposure compared to those leagues.

Not sure what the cost factor is here. Club fees are the same for ECNL vs DPL. Only difference is more travel costs and team fees for ECNL. Also doesn’t matter if they came from Scdsl, csl, DA, ECNL or some other league - Still not clear why people, especially those out of the game, want to ridicule whether a kid wears a DA,DPL or ECNL patch.
Why not be happy for all of them and wish every one of them all the best.

Hahaha. Hey maybe next year your daughters club will be DPL

According to some others same applies to ECNL. They are both good though candidly I do prefer the national exposure with ECNL. Just have to do ID camps when missing East Coast showcases.

You are warped. I never said anything negative about kids.
Prove that club fees are the same for ECNL and DPL.

Just another one of your feeble attempts to make yourself
feel better about your kid playing DPL. If she has a good coach, gets playing time and enjoying the game and her team stop your nonsense.

Point taken. Surf would be the exception to the rule. If I were a Surf parent I would be pissed with the switcharoo they pulled. There are some individual teams without any designation that beat up on all the patched teams. But @JoeZ came with the “probably more strong teams within the DPL. ” Um NO!

Regardless of patch find what’s right for your DD.
