Ok, other than money and finding those 120-160 kids why would US soccer do this?
I think Janet Jackson says it best:

So it wouldn't/doesn't benefit US Soccer to get kids into college, just on a National Team?I think Janet Jackson says it best:
I'd say that applies in the 2004 and even the 2003 age groups. However the olders I would think still look at ECNL in favor of DPL.
I wonder if DPL would exist if ECNL had been more inclusive and offered their league to all the DA clubs in SoCal, or at least spread them out geographically. If that had happened, I'm not sure we would be having this conversation. Instead, six out of the seven SoCal ECNL teams are located in South OC/North SD. That's about a 75 mile stretch with five DAs and six ECNLS!!! (Plus one DA2/DPL ) Looks like the soccer players in that region are well-served. Time will tell if there are enough of them to go around.
Agreed!!! That or more geographically diverse.IMHO, DPL would not exist if ECNL would be more inclusive
Where? Vegas or SD or wherever else Albion is situated?Albion completed tryouts for 01/02, anyone care to share?
No Vegas tryouts. Doesn't happen here until after Memorial Day @GoWest .Where? Vegas or SD or wherever else Albion is situated?
For our older girls...ECNL, DA, AYSO. who cares....once the recruitment process is over, I just want my girls to play the game they love, improve their skills for college, and stay healthy!!!!
No as DAII is not sanctioned or really even recognized by the USSDA governing body. I foresee these teams playing Flight I or Gold in their clubs respective leagues.Does anyone know for sure if DA II will be enforcing the same strict substitution rules as DA?
The only population numbers that count are the number of children between the ages of 7-17. That would provide a more accurate assessment of the number of potential players. Then you need to look at how many play soccer as opposed to other sports or no sport. That would give more accurate numbers to compare.LA county has 10 million people & is underserved for the girls, north LA even more. SD has what 3 mil and half of orange 1.5m so let's say half the population (4.5m to 5) for 12 teams.
