Isolate them into their own league making it impossible for the parents to distinguish whether or not their kids are playing on a high level team. It's crazy with all the divisions in the leagues. SCDSL is the absolute worst. If a top Champions team plays a bottom Europa team, it could be a 10-0 slaughter but they all get to go home and tell friends and family that their precious plays flight 1. At ulittles, a score difference like that is more understandable but by U13 or so, if there is no parity in your division, something is wrong.

Galaxy teams do too across most age groups, both SB and SD
Both leagues have their issues- A team forms from a disbanded team of top level players. The coaches know they are going to be good. In CSL they start at Bronze/ If they are lucky they can play silver kill each team they play, dont develop much and spend another couple years working their way up ( they players usually leave as the competition isn't there. IF you have a Gold team and they lose several quality players (and cant replace with quality players) they are sacrificial lambs the next season.

You are confusing working the system with getting worked by the system.

Galaxydad - That's not the way it works. CSL tries to place new teams in the right bracket to begin with whether it be bronze or silver elite or premier, although there is a bias towards a team needing to perform its way up the ladder. Clubs can petition to be promoted (or demoted) and if they make a good case based on performance it often happens.
The issue for DPL was many of their teams failed to qualify for CRL through play in last year and those that played this year failed to get the auto qualifier for next year. Simple solution- protect these teams and give the founding DPL clubs their own CRL bracket where they play each other. No qualification needed...basically a free pass plus you don’t have to play the sister club teams and CSL teams that had been beating you all last year. Genius!
Yes, Was told the DPL will play in one pool for Spring and CRL as was last season will play in other pool. The winners will advance to play one another eventually in playoffs. Top team in each pool chance to play Regional Games for National Cup
Yes
Completely untrue. Very few DPL teams played in the “play in” round and choose not to play CRL. The ones that played CRL this year earned their spots from play in and/or the prior year results. Reality: there were few DPL teams did not qualify for CRL based on play in tournament.

Really? In the 02/03 age group Beach did not qualify for either and in the 02 LSGSD did not as well after getting beat up in CRL. Only the Legends 02 DPL has earned their spot.
Just to clarify, are we talking about the 18/19 Season?
18/19 season leading to 19/20 season. Beach had non Dpl team qualify for 19/20 in 02s. Both Dpl teams in 02 and 03 failed to auto qualify for 19/20 season.
Copy that! Thx
So here’s what I know. This was told to us by our old club director. He went to Cal South to meet with them to create this CRL academy league for DPL teams. This happened the year after they lost ECNL and had a lot of kids leave to other clubs. So it sounds like they knew more kids were going to leave the following year so he made this happen. The 2 division winners in CRL Academy will play the top 2 “regular” CRL teams in some sort of playoff and the winner advances to Far West Regionals. So because he knows that DPL is not only unorganized but also not very competitive (which is what he said in a meeting to parents after tryouts) he did what he could to get kids to stay. So this gives the kids an incentive to stay and play DPL. Plus the new expansion of the DPL league I guess makes it more appealing to some. Maybe there are more reasons to play DPL but I don’t know what they are.
