2018-2019 DPL Season

Actually DPL get decent exposure. Silverlakes, Players and Legends are good showcases right?

I am not arguing DPL is better vs ECNL. Just saying that this year DPL looks lots better vs their first year.

And no they don't mirrir DA rules. Seems much more similar to ECNL rules

Went out and watched a DPL game last weekend. The setup looked basically identical to ECNL game day set up. The only difference was that the home team was filming the game. Apparently all games will be uploaded to Hudl.

FYI: I like ECNL. I like their platform.

But can’t anyone apply to Silverlakes, Players, etc.? Do they catch a break for being DPL?

Our ECNL games have been recorded for awhile. I think that’s a positive byproduct of the in fighting between the leagues.

Point taken. Surf would be the exception to the rule. If I were a Surf parent I would be pissed with the switcharoo they pulled. There are some individual teams without any designation that beat up on all the patched teams. But @JoeZ came with the “probably more strong teams within the DPL. ” Um NO!

Regardless of patch find what’s right for your DD.

None of the responses to your post ridiculed the kids for where they play. My sense is that they are suggesting that (as has been said by others), DPL appears to be an acronym for Dumb Parents League because DPL parents that post seem to be fooled by the marketing telling them that DPL is on the level of ECNL.

Believe what you want. Good luck to your player this season. But don’t hide behind the kids after you wake a sleeping dog and get bit.

Did you stay up all night thinking of a come-back Dummy? Your commentary makes absolutely no sense. Still amused with anyone who promotes such negativism towards any league. - go back to sleep and dream up another cause.

Stop trying to pretend you’re the adult here who’s taking the high road. You sir, are the one who started it, so own it. Remember your comment above?

And since you are making it a fight between DPL and ECNL without mentioning Flight 1, Discovery or Premiere, are you assuming DPL is better than these other leagues?

Calm down Sarge, try and let the angst go so you do not become polarized with hatred and anger like Fact . Take a deep breath through your nose and exhale through your mouth like you were taught.

Certainly anyone can apply.

As it relates to recoding games it has not been league standard. Our team Livestreamed everything last year. But that was parents doing it.

I’m not interested in any fight between DPL and ECNL. let me put it another way that maybe gets the point across. When looking at ONLY the SoCal teams in DPL and ECNL, the top 1/2 in DPL are strong teams and the top 1/2 in ECNL are strong teams. In SoCal both are strong. On a National basis ECNL is the by far top league.

The only one pushing an agenda is you. Is that not your quote, or is it fake news? You didn’t own it and you didn’t answer my question. Everybody else is just reacting to you.

You couldn’t help yourself and had to throw in that dig. Who has the agenda?

Try to break free of FACT and escape that rabbit hole filled with negativism.
No one wants to read any more nonsensical negativism about the DPL, ECNL, ..et al.. it just doesn’t matter and is not productive. Trying to defend FACT’s negativism is even less productive.
If your kid is still playing enjoy it while it lasts!
 
Is a Keeper allowed to play in a full game with a DA team (DP or PT player not FT) and on the same day play in her own teams DPL game?

It is my understanding that DA does not allow 2 games on the same day. I have not found the DPL rules anywhere. As you probably know DA & DPL have 2 different sanctioning bodies. I would imagine that it is a gray area that is up to the club. With all of that said, my daughter recently played for her club's DA team and the coach brought in a different goalie to play in her team's DPL game.

DPL for league games only allows 1 game per day. Double fixture weekends are OK as long as there is at least 18 hours between kick off times.
 
What you talking about Willis?
I see some Oct 28th cancellations. But the rest of their games still appear on the schedule. Some with "TBD" for location.
There are quite a few TBD games across the clubs in Spring.

If a PT keeper plays in a DA game, they would not be eligible to play in any other game on the same day. For example, for PT players, they could play in a DA game on Saturday and then a DPL game on Sunday. For DA, they would not want that same keeper/player to then play in a DA game on Monday (3 consecutive games/days).
 
DPL Rules allow for a loaned keeper to play in 2 games per day. There is a GK Amendment for this. Meaning if the GK is borrowed they can play for their DPL team and an older DPL team, or their CSL/SCDSL/Other and play a DPL game as a loaned player - 2 Games in a day. I would think it applies to a scenario where a DPL keeper is brought up to play a DA game (same age or older) and has a DPL game same day. That is what the rules read and how I interpret them. DPL is not DA as so many have mentioned, and not run by DA, so from a DA perspective the DP has played in one game. It seems like quite a gray area, and I would confirm with club administration. Is somebody really going to complain or attempt to flag a club from borrowing a keeper for a game due to a injury, etc.? Probably...but it would be a better game with a "real" keeper versus a field player subbing in.

I guess I still don’t understand what DPL “provides” that Flight 1 or Premier/Gold do not?

Nothing! And mediocre skill-level teams at best (not all but the majority!) Total waste of money for families and the players don't get anything different from training. RSC charges more for DPL season but some teams only practice 2x a week and no scrimmages or extra training days when teams have weeks off. DPL is crap and a money grab the the DA clubs bought into.

I think it really depends on the club. At RSL or as they call themselves Utah Royals they train 3 days a week. The fees are less vs what they charged last yr when in ECNL. Roughly $800 less.

The top DPL look pretty good. The bottom teams are weak.

At least in my DDs age group the same holds true for the ECNL teams (top teams are fine and the bottom ones look weak). That division is not as strong as last year.

Dilution is taking a toll.
