League Play 06

Hey Tech
Sorry to hear about your daughter.
My DD had a similar injury a few years ago. Bursa expanded in her knee like a balloon, I thought she had dislocated something but was confused how she could still walk on it and said it didn’t really hurt that bad. Diagnosis was repeated impacts on the knee inflating the sac with fluid. Our options were to drain the knee or let it go down on its own. Due to her age and the trauma of draining we opted to let it heal on its own. She was out for about 3 weeks and was told to wear a knee pad for a month after. She found comfort in the knee pads and ended up wearing them for a couple years by her own choice. We found a nice option for her knee pads that might be of interest to you. There is a special elbow pad for basketball players that made for great padding as well as almost zero restriction on running and mobility. I believe they were under armor, but I’m not positive.
Hope for a speedy recovery to your DD!
 
Blues 5-0 and 6-0 over Arizona Arsenal and Phoenix Rising this weekend. ECNL league now takes a break until the end of March. So far in league, Blues is 11-0, with 43 goals for and 0 goals against. LAFC Slammers right behind with only one loss in league.

Blues and LAFC Slammers definitely the best two teams in ECNL.

Having seen them both multiple times, they have a similar style of putting together combinations going forward. Good skills and footwork. Only difference I saw was Blues attacked up the wings more so versus LAFC who were more up the gut.

It's hard to imagine either team tripping up outside of when they face off again, but ultimately that's why they play the games.

Thanks for the tip, I was looking up one specifically for goalkeepers from Storelli that peaked my interest because we've had good experiences with their sliders goalkeeper shorts and their shin guard holders. If you can recall which ones she used and can DM me that info, I'd appreciate it.
 
Albion 1
SD Surf 0

Well played first half, both teams moved ball well. Surf hit one off the post, Albion scored on header off a corner Albion just missed getting 2nd at end of 1st while Surf had a nice cross opportunity go for not. 2nd half was a bit more physical and a lot more fouls and not as clean of a game. Surf had some decent shots but nothing really dangerous. Overall 2 well matched teams.
 
Looks like the ECNL league is a two horse race for 1st place. I know the LAFC team is coming together from a major core of the old CDA Salazar team and girls from Newport along with some key elements of girls from top ancillary teams. The fact that they have come together this fast speaks volumes of the level of players and coaching they have over there. Salazar has always been a great developer of players. Good luck to all moving forward.

Tbh, the league is not very strong. It’s a shame that all the top teams in SoCal aren’t playing against each other in league play.

Ain't that the true. If we were all given a pen and a blank paper two years ago, and were asked to draw up the most fxxxxx up structure possible for girls' leagues, I bet none of us would've been creative enough to come up with a scenario where Slammers, Blues play in one league, while Surf and Legends play in another.
 
A question for you 2006 DPL experts :). If your team traveled to Arizona this year, does that mean next year those Arizona teams come to SoCal to play your team instead? I thought I read somewhere that SoCal teams travel to Arizona every other year. Thanks.
