They are waiting to see how many accept of the former DA teams into a 1 year Regional league, if enough accept this will be seperate from B team regional league. This league will have cross play in the fact the winners of their respective regions can qualify for Champions Playoffs.

So, three leagues for 2020-2021? And they are referring to two of the leagues as ECRL or ECNL Regional League.
 
I'm guessing there will be 2 in ECNL. Main top division and ECRL for the B teams and maybe select club 1st teams. Then, GAL and DPL as the "competition". Local leagues will always be there but won't add those for discussion. Don't worry folks, a 3rd league will pop up before May! The "The girls elite premier diamond development academy of soccer" GEPDAS!

"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.”

What is the 3? ECNL, ECRL (a.k.a ECNL regional) and DPL? There is GAL to within DPL, then Coast Soccer and SCDSL. Great :(

I've been trying to make sense of the landscape based on what I've read on here and heard from others. Here's how it maps out (I think...):

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.
