Beach, Legends, OC Surf (WCFC), Pats will have teams play in GAL, DPL, ECRL. Most likely is current DPL moves over to ECRL.

absolutely enough talent in the southbay. coaches and players deal with a lot of bs at beach. now that they are not da, is it worth it for them to deal with crap? (coaches will privately tell you what they think about the mang) without da, does beach change its culture or do people jump now that da badge is gone?
What league would the top team be in?
Maybe more than one. ECNL teams in norcal also play NPL.
NPL gets more bench players, ECNL gets more starters. But same team.
Stop talking in riddles. what do you know? One minute you have the inside track, the next your asking for information from people in the club to share. Spill the beans. Get off the fence what’s the deal. Why is Beach so rotten?

Doesn’t seem to know I guess. Has tried to smear the beach on many occasions.
My friends at the 05 age group from Galaxy Academy are now considering moving over. (Not sure how many). Not sure how they come into play but have heard nothing but great things about VB (ex DA) and KP (DPL) coaches.
I’m sure most of Galaxy Academy will come knocking to Beach.

i think with Galaxy Academy players needing a home and some not wanting to drive they will more than easily be able to field. I just can start imagining the headache it will be to decide who plays where and what justifies what league is the best fit for certain players. Can be a head case.
I have said positive and negative things about beach. I have also been clear on some of the issues I see with beach specifically and club soccer in general. I do not think this forum needs to be, no offense to others, a personal journal. Not one of the negative things I have said about beach has been refuted by others. Also, based on merits, if the people that run beach were a terrific group of people, then I think they would be in ECNL. Clearly I'm not alone. I'm glad you and others had different experiences.
No offense, no defense...all good bro. Were all here for deficient reasons. Every club has good and some bad. This is time of trickle down soccer. Work hard, follow the coach and the path will be ok.
Top teams will play ECRL (former DA) then GAL & DPL. Older age groups might be able to sneak into ECNL composite division if teams are needed.
Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous?
Blow out a bunch of ECNL 2nd teams in hopes of getting promoted the following season? Maybe that's the logic? Weaker ECNL club 2nd teams are in for a real treat if so.
I guarantee that clubs with teams in ECNL and ECNL RL will move players from the ECNL team to the RL team so they can pound teams.
Will these leagues publish rosters and playing time like DA? I'd love to be able to track and see how players move between the leagues.
And I assume that the GAL/DPL league will be sanctioned by a different governing body (US Club vs US Youth) so players can play multiple games in a day without any issues. And then they can probably also play on SCDSL teams to help with "development" of their 3rd tier team.
I want to get back to playing ASAP. But for the sake of these people making up their own leagues for selfish reasons- I hope they all run out of money before we can start up again.
Most were there before the DA badge.
No you’re not the only one. I am just glad my kids put books first and are #1 in the high school class.
What would you suggest these teams do?
I hate to say it but unfortunately you are right. Just like ECNL teams did to help their second teams get in CRL.
Make the best of a bad situation as your team seems to be doing.

Have they posted any teams that got accepted to the new youth MLS league? I am trying to see what clubs are included in this new league.
Not yet. From what I hear it may be a little while since MLS weren't prepared to give all details on a academy league on US Soccer abruptly terminated the DA. They need to get everything organized and then will release lists of clubs I'd imagine. That being said, I'm sure clubs have been invited.
