Overview
DPL, Development Player League, is an elite national all-girls soccer league. Member clubs are divided into geographic regions. Clubs will compete amongst the clubs in their region. FC Arizona will compete in the Desert Region among Del Sol, Arizona Soccer Club, FC Tucson, Phoenix Premier and RSL.
The mission of the DPL is to develop the player and empower the person in a purposeful and memorable environment. The goal for FC Arizona is to provide a higher level platform to compete for our girls program.
“[DPL] believe through superior experiences, players will be able to showcase their talent, discover collegiate opportunities and create community around the game. We are a standards driven national league connected to the Girls Academy that will encourage clubs to compete and grow, maximizing the development of their players. By creating a cohesive framework in line with the most dynamic organizations in the country, where nothing is given and everything earned, we will raise the bar in youth soccer…together.”
FC Arizona will be joining this league in 2023-24 and fielding teams from U13 to U19.

League Play
There will be a total of 16 league games for ECNL (last year there were 24).
There will be 2 local ECNL tournaments so this will minimize the amount of extra travel. This will also allow us to look to schedule the Arizona ECNL games on single game weekends, which will significantly reduce the stress on players and decrease risk of injury often caused by the double game weekends.
Travel
Travel will change significantly. Instead of 5 travel weekends to California/Vegas there will only be 3. One to New Mexico, and two to Colorado, with the Utah clubs coming to us. Then next year there will only be two travel weekends – one to New Mexico and one to Utah, with the Colorado clubs coming to us. The only negative with travel is the distance to Colorado being further than California and likely a flight, but the significant reduction in travel weekends should offset this.
Team Travel
Team travel will be up to each individual team. There will be options available:
Families can travel individually
Van rental with team chaperones
FC Arizona bus
This will be determined before the season, and be a team decision.
What is the “ECNL” (the Elite Clubs National League)?
The ECNL is a national youth soccer league founded in 2009 for the purpose of providing the highest level of competition and the best developmental environment for American youth soccer players, as well as an identification
program for identifying players for US Soccer Youth National Teams. The 2009-2010 season was the ECNL’s inaugural season. The ECNL was founded by clubs throughout the country based on the belief that elite player development in the United States needed a structure that would reduce the total number of games on the schedule and increase the number of meaningful, quality games. The ECNL sets forth a vision that provides a clear path to that goal: a national competition schedule and a national identification program linked to that competition, and an organization in which best practices in player development can be shared throughout the country.
What does moving to the ECNL mean for FC Arizona and our players?
Competing in the ECNL will afford us the opportunity to continue our club-centric model in a more competitive development environment and offer a stronger competition model for player development while offering a proven college track path.
Why should I play in the ECNL?
The ECNL was formed with one driving purpose: to improve the developmental environment for elite soccer players.
In order to accomplish this, the ECNL has several specific objectives:
1. increase the frequency with which the top players in the country have the opportunity to compete against each other;
2. decrease the number of uncompetitive games for the top players in the country so that these players can train more frequently;
3. increase the collegiate recruiting exposure for top players;
4. provide an alternative identification program for these players to be identified for US Soccer Youth National Teams.
Every member club of the ECNL is dedicated to accomplishing these objectives.
By coming together into the ECNL, ECNL member clubs can help to make the changes necessary to accomplish these objectives far more quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
