From the looks of the game reports, it looks like the U14s are not even fostering their 11+7subs. And at all ages subs look like they are only being used after a game is under control. For example the U15 Surf v Albion game used very few subs probably since the game was close, both teams kept their best players in. Can we throw out the "D" in DA now. As has always been the case, most coaches care about wins not development.
Give your agenda a rest. The season just started and teams have only played 1 or 2 games. The sub rules are different in this league. Once you sub a player out they are done for the game. In this scenario it is hard to imagine you will see much subbing in the first half of the game unless there is an injury. In fact, subs will likely be limited and see limited time in any game. A better indicator will be are they rotating starting players. So after 5-10 games look to see if all girls are getting multiple starts more than the minimum 25%. If it is the same 11 every week and with the remainder getting the 25% minimum that will tell the tale.
Next year all DA teams go age specific. U15,U16,U17,U18.
So, maybe there will be an ECNL 1 team and an ECNL 2 team.On the boys side when single year DA teams hit the composite age groups, they typically move those players that can play with the older age group up, and then take the younger team and enter them into the top level of whatever league they are associated with (CSL Premiere or SCDSL Flight 1 - Champions) for the off year, some attempted to join Cal South's CRL, but a few of those teams were denied play-in opportunities probably because CRL knew they were only 1 season teams. I imagine the ECNL will take the team for a year, knowing it will lose that team.
So you got all this from reading the match reports. Damn your goodFrom the looks of the game reports, it looks like the U14s are not even fostering their 11+7subs.

There already is a few ECNL 2 teams!So, maybe there will be an ECNL 1 team and an ECNL 2 team.
Its a fact. I not only heard it in discussion with DA staff, but I'm pretty certain it's been written about as well. I heard it straight from US Soccer Technicla Advisor as too. So, I feel pretty confident about it.Any chance you have a concrete source for this, Kicknit22? I've been wondering about this and would love to have it confirmed.
It took me a while, but I did find an actual link that shows DPL game results. It's pretty well buried and I only found it by clicking on a link found on a blog. Anyway, they have results and standings, but not rosters, which I was more interested in. I wonder if it is a hindrance to college recruiting that these teams are playing in a closed circuit without any database of who is on the teams? http://dpleague.org/#

Eventually, yes. But that's a ways off. I've been trying to track down a couple of really good players who I saw play last year on other teams and I suspect they're on DPL teams because I can't find them on any ECNL, DA, SCDSL, or CSL teams, but I don't know because there are no rosters posted anywhere. Seems like a simple enough thing to have a roster posted. If I were a parent of a kid on a DPL team, I'd want that info out there and available to see.Doesn't matter. No coaches are coming out to league games anyway especially during the college season. Eventually as these teams play tournaments their rosters will be on Got Soccer.
