DPL Pilot is not sanctioned and is not DA. DA players cannot play on DPL Pilot Teams. 2 different Leagues. DPL Pilot teams will play in 2 out of 3 DA showcases as Guest Teams. The Frontier League is Sanctioned and DA Pilot.

I know and agree with you. Just being sarcastic as many on this site have been led to believe it is USSDA sanctioned. Albion even called the team USSDA-DPL 03 Pilot.

Your agenda is getting old. Almost no one here believes either DPL or the DPL Pilot has any sanction by USSDA. I think we are all clear on this topic so give it a rest.

I bet however that next year DPL pilot program is sanctioned by USSDA like the FDL pilot program is currently.
GDA lost some clubs this year. They may next year if they don't make some changes. Clearly these girls in the DPL pilot program are important ($) to these SW division GDA clubs.
Some Clubs and Coaches are still telling their Team's and Prospect's that the DPL Pilot is in fact "Sanctioned" and runs "Identical" to DA with really "no" differentiation between the both other than the name, single age, and 1 less Showcase. So, definitely a valid topic to still be discussed! Until we all see the "official" roll-out of the DPL Pilot I believe everything is still up for discussion!
Well said & Agree!
If you don’t have a kid in it, why care so much. If you do, put on your big boy pants and get some answers. Nobody is being forced to play in the pilot league.
I would say that is a Club problem not a DPL problem as I don’t see DPL as an organization making those claims. However, as FACT regularly points out, some of those in the DPL leadership are the same individuals you refer to above that are making such allegations. This seems to be more of an issue in the SD area mainly due to the ECNL presence there. We don’t see much of that “posturing” in the LA a county area where ECNL has zero presence.

Man, you can't find anything better to do today than discussing a rumor about what may happen a year from now? Watch some World Cup matches instead. Spain vs Portugal was a beautiful match. Much more entertaining than discussing DA/DPL/ECNL endlessly.

Diane Scavuzzo of GoalNation is incorrect - receives information and immediately releases info before fully fact checking. Not the first time she's released bad info.

In her defense that article is dated April 20th and Blues was on the list of teams on the DPL website at that time.

No one disputes that Blues was originally part of the 03 Pilot Program and then kicked out. The question is why? It cant be because of a lack of talent of the girls remaining on BH's Pilot team because they are being recruited by the other Pilot teams remaining in the program. This decision was not made with one iota of a thought for the girls and their families impacted by it. The decision appears to be motivated by animus towards BH/AR or the Blues. The decision to kick Blues out of the Pilot program after they were originally a part of it speaks volumes about the legitimacy of the DPL (who made the decision) and the Pilot Program itself.
According to this just-released map, Surf DID lose ECNL for the coming season. http://www.eliteclubsnationalleague.com/2018/07/03/the-girls-ecnl-announces-2018-2019-membership/
