Not enough money in the world to be a board member of anything. Been there, done that, never want to do it again. Dark alleys and spy gear are more appealing to me these days.

Should I get my spy gear domestically or out source it? Like to China or the Russian Federation? Dang, maybe Trump can help me...:D

With the deadline of CRL playin being 4/24 does anyone know if any of the DA2/Reserve teams applying for CRL.

Any Cal south registered team can apply for At-Large Play In as long as the team has properly registered and rostered players on an Activated Team within the Cal South Online system.

Notice how the original GN article has disappeared like every thing has been previously referred to as DA2 has. A replacement article with some more different info likely in the works

You can call a team whatever you like, new ones may have a tougher time getting accepted into Play In with no track record. Existing ones need to meet the player retention criteria or they are considered new also.

Changed the verbage and added a nice shouting bold quote at the end

Funny things with these teams promising to play in some yet to be founded league division, plus crl, nt cup, showcase, high school it becomes just another club deal that doesn't follow the da manadate of fewer more meaningful games.

Do as say not as you do... just rename this the rainbow unicorn division of the Starbucks league and put out another revision already. Players must be grass feed and drink frappes to qualify.

Editor's Note.........

For more information visit www.dpleague.org or email info@dpleague.org


"Editor’s Note on Saturday Morning: This article was updated to clarify any confusion between the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and the new Girls DPL League.

While the youth soccer clubs may consider their teams playing in the DPL as the second team to the U.S. Soccer DA teams, any references to Academy II have been removed and the term DPL substituted to simplify and clarify the goals of all organizations involved."

"Simplify and Clarify"??? Are you kidding me? They are STILL calling it a league and it's not. The gossip in the alley last night was that they got yet another warning from US Soccer about what they are calling this circus. Don't these clubs worry that at some point US Soccer is going to get pissed about all of this monitoring they have to do with the group and just yank DA status from them? I mean, SoCal already has too many DA clubs, let's get rid of the pesky mosquitos in the group and chop the conference down by a few and call it a day. US Soccer isn't going to keep accepting what they are doing without some sort of consequence. Look at the fake website with the fake name. Same colors as US Soccer. Same fonts as US Soccer, Slightly different logo but enough to confuse the average consumer. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's still a duck no matter what you try and call it. Quack, quack, quack.....

Duck = League right? DA2 teams will still need to play somewhere.

Why do you even care? I talked to a US Soccer Coach today that is coaching a DA team for one of the DPL clubs and she said US Soccer is embracing DPL. Relax.

I'm super relaxed. You should hang out in the dark alleys more often. It's way more relaxing than being on the sidelines these days.
Embracing is not sanctioning. Here is the EXACT quote from US Soccer:

"We understand their is confusion in the marketplace. Taking the league names and concepts out of the discussion, we believe that clubs and leagues that seek to provide standards, consistent with the Academy and focused on developing players is positive. From training requirements, to simplified calendars, appropriate training to rest ratio, substitution rules, and roster management designed to provide appropriate playing opportunities, these are all beneficial and focused on player development."

That just means if they actually have a division, a bracket, a bible study group or a training session in the parking lot at Starbucks that US Soccer thinks it's positive as long as they do things consistent with the Academy. So why does everyone think that makes them special?

You hit the nail on the head......Stay tuned for more info on Monday.
Next up, revolt from the Coast league members although they are most likely trying to do some background politicing before the news hits the press but this is where I think they end up.

This directly from the LAGSD website:

"The DPL is designed to mirror the full DA to help prepare aspiring players for the transition to the DA. This is a three-day per week training program that also allows players the flexibility to play high school soccer."

How can you say "mirror" the full DA in one sentence and then the next sentence say "three-day per week training and play high school"? Doesn't that directly conflict with the Academy platform of 4-day per week training and no high-school? How is 3-day per week training and playing high-school different than what teams are doing now?

I gotta go. I have to clean my spy gear for a super secret meeting behind The Stag & Lion tonight. I'll report back with what I learn.

I hope that wasn't verbatim. Maybe THEIR priority should have been school!
