Statement from USYS regarding the Developmental Players League (DPL):

In a statement from Lesle Gallimore, Commisioner of the GA: “The DPL and the GA are focused on the development of female athletes, providing clubs an opportunity to showcase the talent and potential of their players. While the general philosophies of each organization align, after careful review of the needs of each league, differences have arisen. Accordingly, the DPL and GA have mutually agreed to terminate the existing Memorandum of Understanding. At this time, the DPL will move forward as a standalone league, not tied, tiered or linked exclusively to any other platform. GA clubs are permitted to enter the DPL as an option for their second level teams, should the DPL deem their quality to be appropriate. Furthermore, the GA will consider the results of games in the DPL as an indicator of competitiveness and readiness for future opportunities within the GA. Although the GA considers the DPL an Elite National Platform, the GA does not recognize a sole entity as the exclusive pathway to the GA. Both leagues, boards, and members are committed to supporting each other in an unofficial capacity as good stewards of the Women’s Game.”
