I don't have anything to say. Just wanted to give "surfertwins" something to disagree with or "dumb" for me for since he lacks the balls to post anything himself.

I hear LAFC Slammers will go back to DA once their ECNL contract is up. Slammers has this in place before LAFC took over. Any truth to that? It kinda makes sense since LAFC is an MLS DA, weird for them to play against their own. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
Sorry to break it to you, but as female I don’t think Surfertwins has balls.
And why would they do that - didn’t have they just leave the DA last year?

I think everyone on this forum has heard the following from a coach or Doc or a big monster parent who is close to the big DMs in this arena, "I hear for next season...……" Don't believe anything and get everything in writing. Most coaches (not all coaches) will tell you what your itching ears want to hear about how good your dd is. My biggest mistake in the past was trying to get a head of everyone about the DA. I was first in line to receive my packets. That was a huge mistake. Odds are the coach your talking with won't even be the coach next year. Don't pay up front either. Don't buy uniforms until the very end. Trick coach and tell him your kid has to play CM and start or you will look around. If he/she says, "Yes" leave. If he say's, "You can leave" then stay and tell him/her you were just testing to see how they run their roster. Always a Silver Lining in this mess and you won't find that out unfortunately until the season starts.
Are there “ecnl contracts”? seems that it’s a year by year thing. (At least it appears that way. With so many clubs making a switch each year.
Does LAFC exist on the youth scene outside Boys DA and the Slammers affiliation on the girls side?
Would be funny/interesting if they took over the LA Galaxy affiliates.

Slammers & LAFC is super confusing. All I remember was "Slammers Alvarez." Now I don't know who were playing anymore and who runs what. I do like LAFC teams so far for the girls side. Very well balanced and strong. They belong playing with the top dogs in DA that's for sure. We play both versions this weekend. I will ask the few people who still like me what they know and I will report back to all of us here if rumor has some truth to it.

This is false. Got LOTS of friends there. Slammers are fully committed to ECNL. You can read what the Khoury’s said about choosing it over DA, or could ask around to see that it still rings true. They’re concentrating on trying to win a national championship as last year they failed in the quest, though their 2005 lost on overtime.

That would be one back and forth and then back again situation for LAFC. They would lose people with that decision. I spoke to a reliable source and he said no way in hell they make that move. However, he did say he was wrong when they went all in ECNL with two teams so he said take his news with a grain of salt. Buck you might be right though.
