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.

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/#

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.

Yes heard similar info, the application's for next season 18-19' are coming out soon,maybe next week and they will have the final info.
The only twist for the boys I heard that was being considered was composite U18/19 only. The current U18/19 is for and 00's & 99's so if U18 is the last AG in 18-19' those 00's won't have a AG to play in since U18 is 2001's for 18-19.

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.

I have seen local coaches come out during the fall. Especially if they only have one game that weekend. My player's coaching staff came to several league games before and after she committed. Coaches want to see a player in their normal team environment. A ton can be learned about the player, her interactions with her teammates, coaches and you can glean info on the parents. National rankings are nice but any good coach likes to see if a player passes the eye test. That's how you find diamonds!!

The game reports have rosters.

It looks like they played 6 subs. That is pretty good for a no reentry game. Not much different than in any other high level competitive game. Jeff's a good coach though.
@Mystery Train was referring to DPL, not DA. DPL hasn't published their rosters.

The DA teams have rosters (some teams didn't post them until the first weekend), but seems odd that DPL teams (which are the DA II teams) don't.
Yep.
ECNL, ECNL 2, EGSL, DA, DAII, DPL . . .
As if club soccer needed more confusion.

The DA Game Reports are really cool. I love how they list the roster (FT versus DP; rostered versus non-rostered; starter versus reserve), the substitution times and the positions (not all teams list the player positions). I do have a question for the forum......when a player receives a yellow card, it lists a code for the offense. Where do you get the legend to those infractions? Here is a link to a game report with a yellow card listed: http://www.ussoccerda.com/sam/standings/ss/view_game_report.php?eventId=4143765&teamId=4005180
As for the DPL teams/rosters....the DPL website is quite poor (dpleague.org) and has very little information. There are no rosters or game reports, but it looks like the same website service company (not sure what to call them), Bonzi handles the DA and DPL sites. The other item I would like from the DPL site is the coaching staff. Just curious how other organizations are handling their DA/DPL rosters. As an example, Pats 03 DA/DPL teams are both head coached by DR. Just curious if other DA organizations are using the same structure.

As with most things in life there are always exceptions. 04 there is little to no difference. 03 I would assume there is and the ECNL teams will remain competitive. 01 and 02 the Bakers have made sure that ECNL is King over and DPL and arguably a DA who knows. We are beating a dead horse- two years before any full shake out noted and by that time who know what additiobal surprises their will be.

I think it would be cool if here in So Cal, the DPL teams played the ECNL teams. I think the ECNL teams would be stronger top to bottom, but without playing it out on the field, it's all conjecture.

It is really interesting to see which DA clubs are consistent in receiving a yellow cards even at this early stage. No surprises there.

Wow. That graphic is . . . uh, "aspirational," as my CEO would say.

I think these teams are not playing tournaments, most are being forced to do SilverLakes Showcases and National Cup. I think Vegas Players Cup might be the only real tournament they enter.
I agree that time will tell, but the issue is that these DPL clubs (at least some of them) aren't waiting for time to tell. They are already claiming parity with ECNL. To make such a boast for a newly-formed local league obviously draws scrutiny. And the fact that they've hidden their rosters only draws more suspicion. Heck, even CSL bronze teams publish their rosters.

Its a new league. Give them a break. You are reading too much into things. My viewpoint is that for some DA programs, ECNL is their second team (maybe not the case for the Blues). For those without ECNL it is DPL. Maybe this was what LA Premier meant when they developed a diagram (why don't you seek them at and ask them?). Until all of these teams play a lot more games including against each other there is no way to know which second team program is better locally. Clearly the established ECNL clubs without DA are far superior to DPL and likely at least on par with DA for now. And I don't believe there is any intention to hide rosters. Probably more a function that it is a brand new league with limited resources and they just have not gotten to that level of detail yet.
I may very well be reading too much into it, but I highly doubt that the real issue is those 10 major clubs simply lacked the financial and administrative wherewithal to post team rosters to a website. Further, by my count there are 69 ECNL-only clubs nationwide and only 10 that are dual DA-ECNL. So if LA Premier's intent was to convey that ECNL teams are generally B teams then that would be even more misleading.
