I think so if the DA player is a " developmental player" which limits their DA games to six. Is that right DA guru's?
DA and ECNL

Yes but you need to be on another team with the same club to DP. Then you get up to 6 games. They can move you to full time after or your done with DA.

How many dual clubs (DA/ECNL) remain? And when will they have to decide which one they're keeping and which one they're dropping?
Surf and Blues.
Slammers DA will drop the Slammers and just be LAFC I hear.
Both of them have to decide after next season. So for the 2019-2020 season.

Is there a list of them somewhere? Curious to know which clubs remain dual rostered.
If Nationally is what you are after:

No, not as of right now. Some changes coming next year but not clear about what it means. Check with a DA club.

Rumor... has anyone heard that SD Surf not doing EcNL next season??

I've heard that for the last few months so I'm with you....is it just a rumor?
Surf may be dealing with an identity crisis? Really only competitive this season in u14 and u16 ECNL (throw in u15 and NAL) when historically the club was more often than not in the National Championship discussions. Is it easier to simply 'walk away' from something historically dominant in or stay and rebuild? I'm sure we will know sooner than later ....

The Rumor is becoming TRUE! Surf SD lost ECNL.
WARNING before anyone believes and acts upon this information, please check with Surf or ECNL first. Cream puff’s account was just started to ask specifically about this issue.
Makes me wonder who this Cream puff might be.
Cream Puff is on this thread right now so maybe he/she wont mind sharing the source of this information?

Rumors. That is what forums are for.
Speaking of DA, ECNL and tracksuits, here is a good one.
So Sereno merged with Legacy in AZ and now are called RSL-AZ. They got DA.
So during the first DA ID session the main guy at the club was talking up DA saying how great it is. He then went on to say how lucky the club was due to the fact they were one of the few in the nation that had both DA and ECNL. So if your DD doesn't want DA, there is always ECNL. Some parent asked about DA2/DPL. He quickly responded and said DPL is nothing, not even sanctioned, not worth the clubs time and effort. The club has ECNL after all and that is just a hair below DA.
Fast forward 1 week to the next ID session. Earlier that day the club found out it LOST ECNL. So the same guy is up there talking to parents. Now he is telling them ECNL is on the way out nationally, it is not terribly good anyway and the club is lucky that we have DPL, a league that is FAR superior to ECNL.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. In the process of talking up DPL as the pathway to DA, he goes on to state that they walked away from ECNL (vs the truth of it being taken away).
Someone should have asked him if DPL has a patch like DA and ECNL does.
