"However, it remains unclear how many of those top-end clubs will wind up choosing to put their top teams in the DPL’s new Girls Academy, instead of ultimately choosing the ECNL as the best long-term option."

Therein lies the biggest question at this point, or maybe more importantly, from those who choose to go this route, how many clubs will have one foot out the door behind the scenes while they serve their own self interests. Weird times indeed.

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.

You must be a beach or legends parent/coach.

The top beach players already left to Strikers and slammers ecnl teams. Why would others not follow? Only reason would be they cant make those teams.

As Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote, "The more things change, the more they remain the same." Play for a coach you like and a club you trust. Ignore all the other noise. Plenty of pathways to the next level. Simple.

Simple? Maybe up in Canada but down in Socal this is not simple. Are you serious or just being a jokster? Play for a coach and a club you can trust? Its so simple that those like me our fools for not finding the simple path of youth soccer.
 
Wouldn’t it be great if the clubs that don’t get to move from DA to ECNL said :
“We are bummed that we didn’t get the golden ticket. We feel that our players deserve to play in this league against the best players. But we realize that too many teams can have a negative impact. We respect the decisions made by ECNL. We will continue to discuss future options with them. We will always encourage our players to choose whatever is best for them. Our teams will focus on playing in our local club league (scdsl/Coast) and we hope to that our local league will have the prestige and competitiveness from 5 years ago. Our club is a founding member of scdsl and we will get back to the roots of why this league was formed.”

If you cannot lie to a flight iii family willing to pay that money, with a kid that could not make an extra team, tell them to spend years at flight iii developing so they can make the national team or goto college, and the only way is a da club developing that kid, then what incentive do some of these clubs have?

Yes, you are a fool. It is much easier in SoCal than anywhere else by virtue of the fact that there are so many more options. But once you go down the rabbit hole by club hopping to chase freebies, or best team (as opposed to clubs), or more “respect” of you and your daughter from the coach or club, you are screwed.

I like this way more everyday. I'm a gamer bro and so is my dd. My pride wants the "the highest soccer level out there" for my dd but my head says, "stay local so you can play local." Two more years of HS (((Yay!!!)) and then college will hopefully be better. I'm too honest and too competitive for watered down kool aid soccer anymore. I want the real stuff. It;s called Vegetable juice. Who serves this this? No fruity drinks with fake fruits anymore for the top top players. Top players need this and only this. A good coach does not feed your ego with sugar and gum drops.

Hey Fact, listen dude, I'm so on to you. I never chased a championship. Stop saying that. The USSF company changed to birth year. The Fact is, our family lived in Temecula. You all said find a coach right? The 04 coach for the new Blues was not an option. Playing up for Tad and taking Simone Jacksons spots was not going to happen either ((word was she was staying but ended up leaving, but who knew)). So what's a dad to do ETOL? Please Mr wise soccer dad who knows the law and does not share where his kid plays but he's on here 24/7 protecting something. What is it with you? I'm going to probably just have my dd play HS, how's that. You guys can have all this sh*t. Pay for this? Stop lying that I chased freebies dude. When they offerred my dd a spot, I said I needed to think about it. Then the freebies starting coming. Get your Facts straight Fact!!!! Nice try homes!!!!

My dd is on Strikers and that's not the buzz I'm hearing. Why would a great ((Beach 04)) team and their top, top players run over to Strikers? Or Slammers? The top top players are already being recruited or have already committed to a top school have zero reasons to jump ship. Unless Kicker knows something I dont?
 
@EOTL you are aware that the Docs and big time players in soccer are using this place as a marketing focus group for the country? We need good, honest feed back from the parents about how were feeling and if were willing to put up with this sh*t again in 2020-2021. Girls are quitting this sport left and right all because of people like you. I'm serious. You peg me to be someone I'm not. So, it's time for you to reveal who you are and remove the mask.
