It's called marketing. Of course they would want you to believe that everyone wants DPL.

Yep...marketing for sure. Probably over time effective marketing is my guess. I see a lot of interest in AZ for it.

Up until recently on these boards...the DPL would never happen.

Then it would never be sanctioned in So Cal...

Next point of contention on the boards will be...It will never expand. I am guessing it will.

The DA is going after ECNL. Clubs are looking for a way not to lose kids not 0n their DA team to an ECNL team. This is a pathway to accomplish that.

And no...I do not have a kid in DA2. But these developments are rather interesting to follow.
 
There are lots of questions and spin. Maybe ECNL and DPL at least from SoCal SW point of view has some appeal from a competition perspective?
 
It seems the DPL haters here have an agenda their pushing. Don't understand why they feel so threatened. Only reason they would be lashing out instead of wishing everyone the best.

It will stay in SoCal. It's not sanctioned by U.S. Soccer. They obviously want no part of it. Hell, I can develop a GDA here in Vegas, and call it Girls Development Association, paint it red, white and blue, and I'm in the money; Selling dreams to "B" level players parents.

Nice elitist attitude. So much scorn with how you use the term B level. I am not sure why you feel so inadequate but you should be wishing the success for all girls not just the 1%.

From an AZ perspective the competition is the appeal. ECNL for sure offers better competition vs just AZ...and it certainly appears that DPL will also offer higher competition vs just AZ as well.

Before you can be on the A team...typically you will spend time at the B level. B level is a valuable and important step on the way up....right?

Believe me I'm not threatened at ALL. I have no bones to pick. What's so harsh about saying "B" team? It's the truth....having a label doesn't make anyone any better or any worse. Whatever label you give it , it's a B team, meaning a player needs to work on some things to advance. As I have always stated, if you are good enough they will find you.
GDA is for the top 1%. That is who U.S. soccer is looking for.

Lets talk about the players you're calling "B" level: Let take the 02's, specifically Eagles and Real So Cal '02 ECNL teams. Both clubs will not compete in ECNL after this season and both clubs roster approx. 21 players including duals. 97% of those '02 players will not make '01 DA and it's certainly not because they are "B level players." It's simple math. Hypothetically speaking, lets say, there are 18 "A" Level" '01s and 18 "A level" '02s equally skilled in their respective age groups. How many players will be rostered on one 01 DA team? Simple math.

So, whether the '02 ECNL players competed in SCDSL, CSL or the new DPL, why would you consider them "B players" Furthermore, how many "A" players are there really in this ginormous soccer landscape? Development is what's most important. I would hope all youth players and their parents, despite the players skill set, are more interested in development than a badge on their arm or a made up bracket.

Lsat but not least, isn't it ironic DPL's founding members are the same DOC's whose clubs have never been accepted into ECNL - all these years they've been screaming about "exclusivity" and yet they created the DPL - a similar two headed monster and here we are yet again, closing the open market.

so kind and democratic of you as you bash children with disabilities, demean women, and troll girl's soccer forum posts to get as many stirred up as possible just to get a reaction out of people, so in your mind, everyone can focus on you and your brilliance- all the while pretending you are some type of elite soccer coach with expert acumen. Yawn.... Why don't you post on the boys side of this forum if you have something to offer.... oh, I guess you don't....
