Daughter is an '05, we were going to play in National Cup until they took a look at the schedule and realized they had too many date conflicts. Kind of bummed as our team also turned down the automatic bid to CRL; coach (prior coach) said no to CRL since we are ENCL - oops, may have spoken a little too fast. Oh well.Do DPL teams participate in State Cup? Seems like they don’t.

No Club can have 2 DPL TEAMS.And another DPL question - What happens when a DPL team (Team A) loses a coach? And the team wants to follow the coach to his/her new club? And that club already has a DPL team. (Team B)
Is a club allowed to have 2 DPL teams in an age group?
If team A follows the coach and they won't be a DPL team any longer, does that club need to fill in a team? Or will the remaining games on the schedule be forfeits?
You don't have to imagine too hard; a DPL team beat an ECNL team last weekend Surf College Showcase. Not bad for a plucky little team that won't give up.Wouldn't it be nice if every team, from Presidio, DPL, SCDSL, CSL, ECNL, DA or any other league I missed had a tournament where they would play and we could see which teams were the best. Or have each league send 2 representatives after their league cup and have them all meet in a tournament. Never happen, too much to lose for some leagues. Imagine DPL or CSL teams beating ECNL or DA teams. Yikes. Reminds me of when we have the AFL and the NFL before they merged giving us the AFC and NFC and a Super Bowl.

I completely agree the kids don't care.I think it's just that know one cares except the few posters here that want to declare who is the best team. I know the kids don't care.

My kid cares - not necessarily about declaring that she plays on the "best" team, but playing against the best competition possible, especially teams she normally wouldn't get a chance to play against. When she found out her ECNL team was playing some of the top GDA teams in last summer's Silverlakes Showcase, she was pumped.I completely agree the kids don't care.
We parents may actually care for other reasons than you think. How our team plays vs other teams gives me an idea how the team is developing. Having guest played as well, my daughter has had a chance to face DPL teams, Flight 1 SCDSL teams, and Gold teams from CSL. The opportunity to play different levels of teams gives us an idea how she is developing and how the team is developing, well beyond the final scores.
Or just bring a dick! But by that regard, aren’t ALL leagues “made up”?Being a bit of a jerk here- but why not? It’s just a made up league anyway? Can’t the clubs change the rules if they want?
Exactly. And if my kid were on an ECNL team with a coach we liked and was developing and that league got her on a stage in front college scouts I could care less if a random flight 1 or dpl team beat her team plus in this sport many times the score in a single game sample size doesnt always tell the truthI completely agree the kids don't care.
