    I’m still laughing about GAL. And now this. This is so bad I can’t even get my head around it. Let’s take C team level players, slap a new name on the league, make them drive even further, and charge even more $!

Otherwise just enjoy watching your kid.
      I agree. Find the OP on this post pretty lame. He responded to himself with "hilarious" when he realized it lacked humor. I rank pretty high on the soccer snobbery scale, but for anyone's kid to be "top tier" there has to be a middle tier of player who want a competitive platform. Good luck to these clubs and this league. I hope the experience is great, and if the kids have a blast and play well, they can choose to pursue whatever acronym is tops when they get to HS.

        This is SOL's attempt at saving a dying club with no teams/coaches that can compete at a high level. Desperately looking for a life preserver!

            Anyway, didn't Bayside come out ahead of Stars White at the Stars Cup?
            Many NPL players are better than the current ECNL players. They don’t play in the ECNL because it’s too expensive, and the travel is too much. The E in ECNL isn’t elite, it standS for entitled. NPL now DPL works for most families in MA.

              So is NPL gone? Where is NEFC’s second team playing?

                Just because you can’t afford it attack the kids who play there as not elite. Classy.

                  Seacoast United Maine - enjoy that ride to Maine to play teams that were in the NEP championship

                  Seacoast United NH - 07 and 06 fall season had both second teams finish in second to last in NPL A division. Seacoast NH depth is horrible, they can’t field good DA/GA teams either

                  Spirit of Liverpool/Best FC - charity case if I’ve ever seen one. These two clubs combined don’t have two good teams at 11v11

                  Aztec - what a fall from grace...not too long Aztec was managing/coaching the Boston Breakers u23 and reserve teams and now they are competing against SPOLBEST??? Lol

                  NEFC North Shore - Aztec 2.0. There is not enough talent on the NS for two clubs at an elite platform...which is why these clubs are in the DPL...

                  GPS Mass - Playing home games at MCI Walpole.

                  Liverpool - enjoy that drive up to Maine. What a match that’ll be.

                  Bayside - what did they do to deserve this??

                  South Shore Select / Bolts - the LL BA relationship just keeps getting better. SSS second teams have always been trash. Don’t worry though, pockets keep getting lined, hers your $300 credit because we love our families but we’ve raised our fees $600. Green Lions and Strikers United partnerships are going to have to be called upon just to fill the rosters. Can’t wait to watch the South Shore Select Bolts Green Lions Strikers United play SPOLBEST!
                  Did this really need to be a new thread? Who gives a sh*t. Why are you degrading the kids on these teams? Call a team “Trash”? Ya ok. Cause all this really matters in the end game. Tell me the team your kid is on so I can go watch a game. Trust me the level of play will be “trash”.

                    It’s all BS, on every level. I see talent across the board in every league and all teams. The OP created this just to blow his own horn. Every team listed in DPL including Bayside and Liverpool has talent. The put downs are insane.

                        Sadly NEFC is losing out because they are in bed with SURF and GPS. NEFC won’t be going anywhere this year. We left. Too risky and too much money for that gamble. Surf made lots of exciting promises but it’s going to fail and let families down.

                            NEFC is a broken mess.

                                Pretty good assumption made earlier from someone else that you are a ECNL parent. Some of your points are valid, and some do not make sense. DPL will be a strong league, and the closest comparison is NPL. . Your assessment of SSS second team(honors) is correct, but can they use their Academy team to play in this league? The answer is Yes- The secodn SSS team will play in the second teir and will not do well. Aztecs and Bayside 07 & 08 are some good teams, have seen them both in tournaments and they can compete well with anyone. Aztec Mass and NH could beat any team in Mass
