Unless all the teams that don’t get into ECNL in California (Thorns, Placer, Earthquakes, Galaxy, city FC, Legends, Beach, etc) decide to turn DPL into a California League. No my choice, but a real possibility.
Say bye-bye-bye to Girls and Boys DA
- Thread starter dreamz
- Start date
watch the players all leave for ecnl clubs.
Start their own league so we can begin the cycle again.

Girls can't be too far away from being announced then...
Not everyone can do the hour plus commute to train with all the ECNL clubs at the OC Great park.

In a nutshell the above highlights the disfunction at US Soccer. US Soccer has not officially announced anything, but ECNL has already announced some DA clubs now going ECNL in the boys division. One moves fast, the other can't chew gum and walk at the same time.ECNL Boys Announces 6 New Member Clubs in Southern California for 2020-2021

Beach did the PEP warm-up and then had quite a few ACL injuries. They actually had more ACL injuries than in the past.
I can count at least 6 ACL injuries over the past year.
Top teams will stay together with the top top players. Good coaching is key. Plus, why leave?
Older teams will stay together and kick ass in Cali. Those are good teams. Plus, they can sell "no traveling outside of Cali." So funny, the same crew that forced all this travel and thought it was awesome. ECNL will poach the stud 12 year old and younger. It won;t be as easy now though. Soccer biz has changed again in socal. Beach & Legends will be just find. Plus, we can all play against each other now and HS Soccer will be cool. No parting though.....lol! Advise to those who control Surf Cup. Make it a tier one premier tournament and let's get back to some tough competition. I'll pay double for pure competition. I need that badly in my life right now.

Players will tryout for the ECNL teams. Beach players can tryout for Breakers or Slammers depending which way they want to go on the 405.
Legends players can got Arsenal or Blues. Teams will look a lot different next season, if there is a season...
Interesting that RSC is in seeing that Eagles is very close to them and players go back and forth for those 2 clubs.
Leadership...Leadership...Leadership. It will make or break any organization.

According to the official ECNL site, the last "Breaking News" article came out on April 1st. Nothing on there about Surf being accepted into the league.
Does that also mean that RB gets his job back?!?
Players / Families put up with a lot at Arsenal because they were the "only game in town / ECNL", but Legends still held it down despite of that. Don't see that changing, because not much has changed in the IE. Arsenal is still poorly run, we'll see if they can capitalize on on some momentum.

Blues already has ECNL so their DA team will likely move to that spot

Many NorCal DA people are going to have the same kind of logistics issues with ECNL.

Why would ECNL allow a club to have boys ecnl but not allow the same club in on the girls side?

That press release is self-serving garbage regardless of who wrote it and whomever approved its release is presumably still employed there. If you don't see that they released it today, ahead of the anticipated US Soccer announcement, with a "No, no, THIS WAS OUR IDEA ALL ALONG!" tone, then wear your Surf hoodie with pride. Surf fields good teams, as do many other DA clubs. But the way they run their club needs redress. And they are not alone. Maybe all clubs do. The Albion press release after the disaster at Albion cup was worse. Soccer clubs could do with a little more attention to character and modeling the traits they purport to teach kids and a lot less to marketing BS and self-aggrandizement.
