    It helps keep your overall negative goal differential at a respectable level.

As for the balance of their next level teams within a club they can 'pay to play' in any USYS or US Club league that will take them, since only the best players & squads in the club get into the DA. As you mention So Cal best's (which happen's to be our nation's collection of most elite clubs, teams & players) are in the DA.
      Many of the top shelf ECNL clubs are not doing too well so far in the league play.
      Power house Real Colorado ECNL lost more games in the first weekend of play than all of last year. This new dynamic should make the lower shelf ECNL clubs much more competitive.

        Lower shelf ECNL clubs = Crossfire Oregon + FC Portland

            ECNL has gotten worse, but not that bad. Both clubs should be above .500 this season though.

              That’s bad. Hopefully it gets better.

                Yeah they should really have a five goal cap in each game. That can’t be fun to watch. 425 goals is mind blowing.

                  Doesn't sound fun.

                    That’s too bad. California kept all their top teams in ECNL and so you get the scraps. Hopefully they boot any team that concedes more than 12 goals per game. Otherwise it will get even worse.

                      Isn't Surf in California?

                      How about Slammers (now LAFC for DA)?

                      There DA teams are their #1 team.

                      So Cal Blues is mixed only because some of the players are scholarship HS players and are required to play HS soccer.

                      I am not a fan of what US soccer did with the DA because they basically split the talent this year.

                      What you are saying about California keeping all of there top teams in is incorrect. Just take a look at the teams and roster.

                      The argument that DA and ECNL people are having is quite stupid. In most cases, players did not really choose. They went with whatever their club went with. I don't think most people sought out DA or ECNL. They are looking at clubs.

                        Those 12-0 beat downs can be a learning experience. Those awful teams can spin the experience in a positive light. And it’s probably really fun to pound a hapless team 15-0. Just a long as nobody taunts the losing players.

GDA is far from the highest level of girls soccer in the USA, in Oregon it's actually 4th behind ECNL, OYSA, and Rec.
                          The most important thing is for the kids to have fun. Everything else is unimportant.

                            That can’t be fun. That’s a lot of balls being pulled out of the net.

                              It’s amazing anybody thinks this is ok. It’s sad and hopefully they do something about it.

                                US club league did nothing after CU and FC got hammered week after week by much stronger clubs...as a result many of those stronger clubs left for the DA this year.

                                They did do something..
