Girls DPL?

I just wish the DPL players and parents stop calling it DA. It is nauseating to have to continually explain to parents that they bought a load of crap.

Now the newly minted DP to DA crowd is especially how shall we say "cocky"
Do these people not know we see their league?!
 
And if ECNL makes clubs choose then all the B teams (minus the Bakers) are then placed in either the DPL league or yet another league of the powers that be and the clubs like Sharks will stay ECNL
When does ECNL announce new clubs? I assume that IF they were going to make a club choose, they would do it prior to deciding how many and where new clubs are needed.
 
It only started when posters started claiming, ecplicitly or implicitly, that DPL was a superior league. Your issue should be with them.

Please learn how to spell "explicitly" (lol). Also you seem to have forgotten how this topic started. This thread started as a good discussion about schedules and then usual agitators started dumping on DPL.
 
Meeting- there is a meeting.
I think this time they are serious about making clubs choose because the team quality has gone down so much. I know of only two clubs in SD that applied apparently. I am sure they would be more.
All hypothetical. For every person who claims someone in Richmond said no more DA and ECNL some alt club guy gets in here and says no no no.
Also the DA has supposedly yet to fully decide about the 03 age pure. It was dual band except the frontier division and now suddenly it may be age pure. If they do that DA retains control anyway.

Thanks. I had just looked up the meeting date. You are right.
 
ECNL is only more attractive than DPL, SDCSL, or CSL if you happen to live in the limited area they serve. Otherwise its not a sane option.
 
Let me modify my statement. This is only if your DDs goal is to play college soccer. Which girls get more looks from college coaches, DPL or ECNL players?

I agree that ECNL is a much better platform for college exposure. My comment was obviously about drive time eliminating the ECNL option for a huge section of Southern California.
 
I can also tell you that while I never had the chance to witness ECNL in the past, the quality of play I have seen in my limited exposure to the DA so far beyond anything in DPL, SCDSL or CSL.

I have witnessed many ECNL games when it was the only closed national league and from the couple GDA games that I have witnessed the current version is just watered down. Now instead of 8 teams (plus Beach and Carlsbad) that are dividing up the top talent you now have almost twice that amount. In the prior incarnation of ECNL you would see maybe one or two weaker teams in the Southwest region and those teams still had a few elite players on them. Now there are a couple of teams with a higher number of elite players on it and most have only a couple of elite players on them.

The number of elite players hasn't changed significantly. The number of "elite" teams has only multiplied.
 
As expected. Nobody in their right mind can argue that.

SCDSL was a league created for the "B" through "Z" teams of the ECNL clubs. CSL has been a hollow shell since the ECNL clubs pulled out. I would expect GDA to be better than that. What the heck is DPL?

I somehow missed your obvious point. My brain is fried from all of GoldenFjord’s memes. You’re right about ecnl needing to expand in that area.
