SCDSL league season seems real short: 9/10-10/30 each team plays 10 games this age group with a chance for some playoff games? Yes the other younger age groups have their games posted for November 2016 so the schedule appears to be complete.

10 game, < 2 month league season o_O

Is there going to be a B14 Showcase Event instead of the playoffs or in addition? Something on calender for B14 Showcase but dates are not correct:

The 2003s get playoffs, no showcases, that has to be a typo. Source, our TM forwarded the league email to me.

"Playoffs occur in the 2003 and OLDER birth years. Every flight will have playoffs this year. You will notice in Flight 1 in these birth years that there are 2 divisions – Champions Division and Europa Divisions (Europa is by geography). This is done this way for playoffs."

"ALL SHOWCSE GAMES WILL BE PLAYED AT THE SILVERLAKES SOCCER COMPLEX IN NORCO. Showcases are for birth years 2008(b), 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 birth years only. League games are NOT scheduled on showcase weekends for each age group. Showcase schedules will be posted, at a minimum, of 2 weeks prior to the showcase for each age group."
 
Does anyone know if they will mix the champions division with the Europa division for playoffs...or will they be completely separate?
 
You might as well add Silver Elite teams if you're gonna include Flight 1. Unless of course it's specifically based on Champions not Europa.
 
When are the final team rosters supposed to posted on the SCDSL web page?

Rosters in dsl can be public or private so may not see them for some teams. The player pass can be used on game days also so players could be brought in or switched around taking in consideration max numbers.
 
Trophies given out for correct predictions each week.

If the game is not listed in the thread yet go ahead post away with your pick(s) and some background info on the game.

I think you can find the team info from the player match report when you click on the "vs" of the team matches. Just seems a little sneaky
 
My Predictions in parenthesis:

9/3 DA
L.A. United Futbol Academy U-13 (4) vs Strikers FC U-13 (1)
LA Galaxy U-13 (3) vs Nomads SC U-13 (1)

9/10
OXNARD UNITED (2) SC vs TFA - S.E. LA MACARTHUR (0)
ALBION B03 ACADEMY GARTON (1) vs LAGSD B03 ELITE/RITCHIE (1)

Strikers FC - South Coast B03 (1) vs Laguna United FC 2003 Blue (1)

9/11
CDA Slammers FC - HB B03 Godinez Black (4) vs West Coast FC B03 Kirsch (0)

Nomads had a pretty good Surf Cup run, so it'll be interesting to see how they stack up against Galaxy.
 
Strikers 3. Laufa 0. Close game until half. Laufa has some talent and should be a good test for the rest of the league.

Strikers did better in the final 3rd, on set pieces, drawing and somehow avoiding fouls & mistakes while LAUFA has better at passing and pocession.

Does Strikers play 4-3-3 or out the back like like ussda recommends? after reviewing the video noticed they only connected about 20 passes 2nd half compared to 85 or so for LAUFA.

The Strikers coach was quite anger with ref crew, even though most calls went his way and had to be asked to settle down may want to review

After looking at the DA games for the first week the scorelines didn't look close in any of the games, maybe 2nd week will be different?

Saturday, September 10 2016:
Strikers FC U-13 vs FC Golden State U-13

What other games this weekend look interesting in CSL or SCDSL besides what's already been posted?
Real So Cal 0 - 1 Santa Barbara, maybe this is a unexpected result, after that I can't believe there's a 5 goal difference between Pats and GSA.
 
Can WE keep Boys Development Academy teams in their rightful section? Yes, WE already know that other than GSA all other clubs are basically their Flight 1 teams, but let's try to keep things in perspective here.

Might not connect many passes in your eyes but sure puts in 3 goals like nothing

Nothing but a PK, free kick, hail Mary shot.

Look they can play long ball all they want only connect 20 passes 2nd half, and only play out the back 2-3 times the entire time but that's not what ussda wants or recommends.

There are no standings or playoff In this age group for a reason.

There are video reviews and respect initiatives for a reason also, da is not win at all costs or let's get angry at the ref crew and try to threaten them, confront them at the end of games, etc. Strikers coach is going to get his feedback and it may not be nice.

No and where talking about the da league not about some butt hurt from a summer tourment.

DA is not a tournment or you're normal club league, they have mandates on formations, style of play, respect initiatives, etc. You can try to follow them or not?
