It was always sanctioned under USSSA, https://www.dpleague.org/about.html, and the DPL teams could play state leagues/cups etc.

It was also sanctioned by Cal South so that they could play National Cup. Moving forward it was only going to be sanctioned by USSSA and the GAL announcement said they will be sanctioned by USSSA which means no National Cup, CRL, USYS National League or anything USYS driven.

Folks putting their DD's into GAL need to know it will be sanctioned by USSSA which basically means no State Cup, no National Cup, no anything. They will play in a league. Throw in a showcase that won't be attended and won't expose their players to any real competition out of fear that the parents and players will realize they are paying a lot of money for nothing. DPL was going to switch to USSSA sanctioning next year and hadn't figured out how to tell the parents there was no carrot so be prepared. If you are ok paying a lot of money for local games and a showcase somewhere with no ability to play any real national competition then GAL may just be for you.

Parents need to be aware too that college coaches will be cutting WAY WAY back on recruiting travel this year. College coaches will go where they can get the most bang for their travel buck. That's going to be ECNL events and a few major showcases nationally. A GAL showcase isn't going to be on anyone's recruiting list as it's unproven and won't showcase the best talent pools. Just another

If you believe ECNL is doing something wrong as it relates to safety, by all means propose solutions and support it with professional studies. I’ve been doing that for years, whether it’s studies about the pill or the dangers of so many teenage girls being required to play full 90 minute games without substitution.

Yes. I am gloating about GDA’s demise. It was a terrible platform from the start and only got worse from there. I will miss GDA mafiosos arguing over whether it snows in CO in April, only to have them staring in disbelief while standing in a foot of it after wasting $1000 just to get there; who claim that GDA is “winning” based on its policy of banning HS soccer, and within weeks of 14 clubs just abandoned GDA because of it. The knee injury issue is of course somewhat tragic and uncomfortable to discuss given what happened to the biggest GDA mafioso and science-denier’s daughter and I would prefer to let the guy move on, but you keep bringing it up.

I’m hearing a lot of chatter about beach and legends and what I’m hearing is that they were not given any kind of guarantee that they will be brought into ecnl ever and that if ecnl can screw them over more they will. Surf, Real so cal were allowed in immediately so I feel answers were given pretty quick. Beach and legends are big clubs with good teams and players but I just don’t know what kind of future they hold for players looking to go to college. Plus like some mentioned, ecnl is an “all-in” league. So if they do pro/rel does that mean you have to perform well across the board in every age group? Seems like a beach and legends are getting the short straw here. Feel bad for the families. Time will tell.

Coaches know where the talent is that meets the needs of the style his or her school plays. If a coach wants big, fast, rugby style soccer she/he knows where to look. If the coach wants fast, skilled players he/she knows where to look. "Play it and they will come." There are over 344 D1 soccer programs, 265 D2 soccer programs, and 441 D3 soccer programs. There is a place for every player that wants to play regardless of soccer style. As always, grades matter!!
 
Is LA Galaxy the MLS club keeping the teams that were playing in the girls DA and if so where are they playing and if not are they becoming another club or just left on your own to find a team?
 
EJ and Fact

Fact: Listen you came on here playing the victim despite you using the system as well to get a free ride

EJ: No, my dd is the victim and I'm the sucker dad. The system actually used me with the free stuff. You we see when the facts come out fact

Fact: and join a team that was already on its way to the top, probably bumping players that helped make that team what it was.

EJ: "Was" is good word here Fact. The team before the new 04 team of 2016-2017 was mixed with 03/04, half had no choice but to move up because of their age went up with 03s. Yes, it was a very good team and my dd scored two goals against them in the Semi's of State Cup. In Fact, she beat that team all the time with her goals from passes from one the great CM who I believe is on her way to Penn St. Awesome teammates & coach with the Blues before all this. No one is perfect and my dd had 100% good reasons to leave and it had zero to do with a freebie dude.

Fact: So you cannot play the victim.

EJ: Oh yes I can

Fact: You have not learned anything so i just gave you a quick reality check.

EJ : I have much more reality checks coming today Fact

Fact: I am a big part of my nieces lives and love them like my our kiddos.

EJ: I am a big part of my dd life if you haven't noticed. I love her so much you should know that by now too

Fact: I also spend a great deal of time with them at soccer, help coach soccer and ref soccer.

EJ: Yes, I know you're a coach and are involved in soccer obviously and you care so much for others too

Fact: So f' off.

EJ: I took the "f" off and can see what a Class Act you are Fact
 
EL & Coach EOTL

Coach EOTL: Those who could most benefit from advice tend to be those least willing to accept it.

EJ: I never asked you for advice so please stop trying to help me

Coach EOTL: EJ is one of those parents who constantly screws things up for his kid and lacks the self-awareness to understand it

EJ: Thanks for letting everyone know more about me. I can see how honest all the Docs have been and have been so good to us. Just look at how the USSF company treated me and I'm the one screwing things up for my kid. That is the funniest thing I've read from you. LOL :)

Coach EOTL: Regardless, I’m not going after his kid;

EJ: Oh really?

Coach EOTL: Once you go back to blocking me and ElleJustus checks himself into psycho soccer parent rehab, I promise to lay off.

EJ: I;m not going to rehab ever coach, so lets play every day.

Coach EOTL: You will find peace only after you stop blaming others for where you are and recognize that you cannot control other people.

EJ: You don;t know me very well

Coacg EOTL: Soccer clubs, leagues, and coaches have always, will aways, and should always make decisions they believe best serve their own interests.

EJ: Coach, you nailed it with this quote of yours. That's what is one of the big problem imo. Non profit seeking it's own interest. They were serving themselves their own interests and when a business ((non-profit)) does that and does not put the customers interest first, it will fail. Trust me on that coach.

Coach EOTL: I am going to give you some advice

EJ: Funny how people ((coaches)) have all this advice for everyone. If someone doesn;t ask for advice, it's more about your ego and pride and what a coach thinks is best and 100% your opinion. Plus, your advice is really putting me down because you're protecting something that means a lot to you. it's obvious. I'm also protecting something that is way more valuable then a business and has way more value. It's a human life. It's a fragile little girl trying to make it on a planets for of people like you.

Coach EOTL: No college coach needs a headache like you,

EJ: Last I checked, I'm not playing. Also, go call her coaches outside of Surf and see what they have to say coach. All the D1 coaches who would like my dd to go to their school and play for them can call everyone single one of her coaches and they will all say the same thing about me except for a past Doc and one coach.

Coach EOTL: And no club coach will recommend a kid with a parent who is a headache like you

EJ: Man, I heard that from three Docs that I believe are really bad. That quote right there is all about Power & Control. The same coach talks like that to 16 and 17 years old girl and many feel trapped. Some have actually taken their own life over coach abuse.

Coach EOTL: The best thing you can do for your daughter is stay off this site and stop attending her practices and games, because you will inevitably screw things up for her even worse then you already have.

EJ: More advice and all I can say is, "Fat chance I leave this site. I just got my stimulus check and just went Platinum.

Coach EOTL: The same holds true for any of her extracurricular activities.

EJ: Ok, thanks for more advice. Sounds like your trying to silence me for some reason.

Coach EOTL: If you were worried your daughter would not even make the team ((Tad's new 03 team)), the soccer dream is over.

EJ: The dream was over a long, long time ago and is was more of nightmare dealing with all this for three years from a company that took off and let us deal with their aftermath.

Players can be registered with more than one org like this instance, e.g. I've seen ECNL players play in local state leagues, generally as guests when a club wants a result (maybe) and they can do that as the player can be registered with both USYS and US Club at the same time. There was nothing to stop the clubs continuing to have their DPL teams in both the DPL league & local - that's their choice, not a DPL league restriction.

He needs a hobby, or some attention at home. Would be a gift to everyone if he just stopped posting.

What I know is that LA Galaxy has not announced their next steps.

I am hearing the local club next door is trying to recruit their 05 studs that play up.

ECNL GIRLS ANNOUNCES NEW ADDITIONS TO THE ECNL REGIONAL LEAGUE - SOUTHWEST FOR 2020-21 SEASON

ECNL Regional Leagues are operated and managed by the ECNL to insure professionalism, standards, and exceptional experience RICHMOND, VA (April 21, 2020) – The ECNL Girls is excited to announce the addition of four new clubs to the ECNL Girls Regional League - Southwest for the 2020-2021...

I guess it’s their only way in for the following year I suppose
 
I’m guessing this was some type of compromise struck with the local ECNL existing member clubs? We’ll let them in next year and give you a one year jump on recruiting.

Curious if this will be be used in other ECNL regions as well.

No. They would never make that public. My guess is after this announcement so can is final. Nor cal is still having discussions on what to do. Not sure on rest of the country but after nor cal decision, I can see everything being final.
Poor B teams having to play beach and legends A teams.

No there is not. I think that the clubs see this as their only chance for a way in. Theres no promises it works but I can see why they would go this route given they were not accepted to full the ECNL, I think it is the best move as the teams from Beach and Legends will do well enough to warrant consideration for the 21-22 season

Absolutely not, keep dangling the carrot. I wonder what the landscape will look like in a year from now. I was sure that West Coast would have gotten back in ECNL for the girls. They have arguably the most respected coach in the West. Maybe Surf not happen with them pulling out of their deal and threw their weight around? And the only weight I am talking about is control of fields for large tournaments.
Funny how Beach and Legends have to prove themselves when they have over and over again. Unlike Sharks and Rebels who cannot get good teams together last year despite being the only ECNL in San Diego. I wonder if they don’t do well this year, whether Surf will have an excuse to get rid of them and once again control all of SD ECNL. I wonder if Sharks and Rebels will continue to play favorites or actually try to prove themselves to retain ECNL by recruiting the best players?

interesting how quiet Albion and Carlsbad families have been on the forum lately. I truly feel sorry for Carlsbad whose teams seem close nit and the Albion boys teams who also appeared to have good chemistry in many but not all cases. Wonder what Ginns is planning, a lawsuit as he threatens when things don’t go his way.
Finally, has any club taken deposits for next year? Albion was notorious for doing that 6 months before the start of the season.
