What is considered to be Flight 2 these days? Are MLS Next, ECNL and GA only considered Flight 1 from a team standpoint?
SCDSL now to be called SoCal
- Thread starter Gkdad1
- Start date
Depends on the club and league, flight 2 is loose term for the 2nd to 4th team in a age group in general. Lines can blurr somewhat and some club don't have flight 1 teams so the top team could be a flight 2.
For Next flight 2 would be the EA league or something along those lines.
For ECNL flight 2 could be ECRL for some clubs but not necessarily that cut & dry. If a club only has ECRL that could be their first team and not 2-4. NPL might be flight 2 for some clubs.
GA could be flight 2 or not depending just like ECRL.
In a tournament flight 2 or not the top bracket can be mixed depending on the number of participants.
In CSL, Presidio, Socal leagues flight 2 equivalency comes in different shapes & forms.
spring will be nothing more then local as possible friendlies. It will be back in the Fall.

I see only schedules for the next few weeks, complete schedule with dates/times/locations not out yet. I think future field locations will depend on Guidelines and City parks opening.
I'd say it's a good idea to expect last minute and frequent changes.

Some clubs have fields locked down already, a lot don't. I agree that there will be shuffling around happening.
If all of the sudden your opponent disappears then that team dropped for various reasons this Spring. We were told Albion Temecula and Albion North (San Marcos) dropped there teams from Spring Only due to their philosophy that is it to much to soon after such a long lay off and High School for the older kids.

I heard a few teams from the FC Premier decided to do this as well. My son has something like 25 games in 2 months between HS and club.

ultimately,...it means the end
CSL not going anywhere, there season is on and they will continue to be a option for LA county and other teams. Might not see some of the mega clubs affiliates any longer but they have plenty of clubs and teams involved.

Anybody know how SCDSL spring league will be split up for 7v7, 9v9 and 11v11? I initially thought 2012's and younger are 7v7, 2011/10 are 9v9 and 2009's and older are 11v11.
But looking at the SCDSL spring 2021 ref fees and it looks like 2011's and younger are 7v7, 2009/10 are 9v9 and 2008's and older are 11v11 - https://scdslsoccer.demosphere-secure.com/_files/RefereeFees2021Spring.pdf.

From what I see on the SW NPL schedule, Albion North G04 team is playing in that league, they are also still showing on the schedule for SCDSL that seems excessive to have the team play in both leagues this spring especially as their players are likely also playing high school soccer. I noticed San Clemente Surf G04 are also showing up on both league’s schedules.
That SW NPL league seems to be super disorganized. Or they are trying to be super accommodating of schedules and making lots of last minute changes.
How much does it cost to license some sort of scheduling program?

2009's are 11 v 11 for the spring. Problem will be that many teams dont have enough players for this format.

of course it is - for now. Give it a year or two.
Remember CSL used to be the place to be! That has not been the case for quite some time - and with this new development, CSL and Presidio will be completely irrelevant.

Yep happened to my DS team. Lost a few players during COVID, and now cannot field a team for 11 v 11... but the team fees, coaches fees , and league fees are still due!
