The disctinction is that many like Lampchop are being mislead into believing it is sanctioned and possibly paying more for a false
name and false bragging rights.

Now I have heard it all. Just sad.False name and bragging rights are much better than what most people are paying for

I agree with that. Just saying sanctioned or not fdl or dpl do the same thing

Multiple DPL players have moved up at our club.
What age group? Are spots opening up on DA team because kids quit DA?

01/02. It’s a combination of things as far as I can tell. One or two girls left earlier in the year and some injuries. The original team is basically the ECNL girls. The DPL girls that have moved full time probably should have made the team from the beginning since they are all playing a lot and are doing well.

TMK - Only 1 kid has quit DA at our club and she quit because of pressure from other players (she didn't belong). Another 4 were replaced with DPL players and offered DPL but I am sure they tell others they 'quit'. 3 moved to ECNL teams, 1 DPL, and other ???. Only one stayed with the club.
Well isn’t that special. Players doing the coach’s job to make another player feel so unwelcome that she quits; and all because they have decided that she does not belong. You must be so proud.
People like you are what ruins sports for kids.

The kid sucked and the other players were tired of it. Was it your kid?
BTW - she quit just before getting the boot. Coach probably happy.

All for players telling teammates they need to step it up. But to alienate a teammate and force her out. Wrong! On all levels. No matter if she sucks or not. Agree with Fact. Nobody should be proud of this outcome. There are players on my DD's team that aren't super strong and get minimal time, but they are still part of the team and very encouraging kids and they deserve respect. Off and ON the field. Let the season play out and if they don't make DA, so be it. Give them the opportunity to prove themselves or not. That's the coaches job to decide.
Only cause you have a particular distain for A few of the “track suits” that started the league

Who alienated a player and forced her out? Stop making up stories like a snowflake. Some kids go to the sidelines and cry when asked to step it up by their peers. It is up to the coach or the player to decide. In this case the player decided and made the right decision.

If I were the coach, I would be happy too. After all, I am here to win, not teach. Development? Not my problem, that's someone else's job? Why the hell would you sign up for the Delusion Academy if you weren't WNT quality?
What's the alternative in SoCal? With the exception of a few teams, ECNL is pretty bad this year. Mine has to give up the option to play HS soccer to play with better competition. Mine would ask, why the hell would you choose to play against inferior competition?
Good luck with that chip on your shoulder. It tastes salty.

So back to DPL stuff. This coming year it appears that the DPL clubs will offer a full schedule of games...ie home and away vs a rather limited schedule this year.
Does that make DPL attractive in comparison to ECNL in the SW area?

@Kicker my comment was directed at this lame comment. Based on his other comments, I don't feel he made this statement jokingly.
I have no problem with DPL other than it is another league that waters down teams and causes more travel. I would have been happy if there was only Presidio and CSL. To make more money and maintain control, adults are using kids.
You are right thou that I do not like the tracksuit wearing used car salesmen. Although Duggan had a hand in creating DPL, I believe that LAGSD is trying to do the right thing, i.e. develop players. They have moved up DPL players and a lot of their teams have always been homegrown. On their website they call the DPL Pilot "DPL Pilot."
However Ginns is a crook. He also had a hand in creating DPL and is the one that was using the name DA 2 until US Soccer put a end to it. Now he is calling the DPL Pilot "DA-DPL." Based on my conversations with coaches and parents, Albion is the one that is actively telling DPL players that they are part of US Soccer's DA program. This is just plain dishonest
I believe you said she was forced out by her teammates snowflake.

I would say my answer is a qualified no. The vast majority of DPL players will not get a chance to move to the DA. So for those girls if they can make an ECNL team it would be a much better option. For the very few girls that realistically have a chance to get moved to the DA, then if playing DA is their goal the DPL offers a better path for moving up within a season. But this is a very small minority.

Simi, did your player get moved up to DA this year?
