02 TEAMS: Where are you Playing the Spring?

by WRG 1/16/2012, 3:22 pm

Was curious if any of the 02 teams have made a decision on what league they will be playing in this Spring. Are most of the top teams returning to SDL and is anyone going back to EAL? Anyone know where these teams will be:

1. DTS;
2. Solar Dynamo;
3. FCD Snell
4. FCD Goncalves
5. LP Gerrard
6. LP Fagen
7. Solar Red Crushers
8. Solar Blue
9. DT Scott
10. Odyssey;
11. TFC Larry?

not sure where everyone is playing but I can tell you that SDL is terrible.....fields are unacceptable......two refs are rediculous......they are never in position and usually too old to run......offsides is a complete guess......Not worth the money......

Based on discussions with coaches and parents that did play SDL, there seemed to be consistent discontent with field conditions and officiating. We played EAL only (Sunday league) this past Fall so I cannot comment personally. Coach Dom runs a good league. We have no complaints at all with EAL and highly recommend it for a SUN league. In fact, we asked him if he could work something out for a SAT league. Field availability due to REC leagues are the issue.

While I don't have specifics, I understand many of the top academy girls teams made a move last season to an alternative SAT league hosted at the Sting complex. With that said, we would consider the league below for a predominately SAT-based league if there is enough interest from other 02B teams.
Disclaimer: We will play whatever league the majority of the 02B teams play on SAT for the Spring season whether it is SDL or an alternative.

From what I understand, LP Gerrard will play SDL this spring. Some/Many/All of these players will mix with other players and also play in UAL and PYL, but likely under a different team name, LP Paisley.

I heard rumors that SDL was going to a 3 ref system. Might check into that before leaving SDL. If the top teams leave, it will make the league a lot less competitive.
