Vast quantity of skilled players in DA LA. Started at these leagues. They are good as introduction for the soccer environment. Lot of raw talent. Like a street soccer on big fields.

These leagues are probably the best to develop lils. Rec is terrible. Thin San Juan Cap has a decent sized league that plays in south oc

Negatives: Many families live for the games, its the highlight of their week. Super passionate sidelines that get out of hand. Leagues operate outside formal US Soccer structure ... inadequate to no insurance for all participants (referees, coaches, players, etc.)
So was I. It's like the parent/family/friends' NFL+MLB+NBA+PREMIER LEAGUE+LA LIGA. See MWN's post (#16) above. The players primarily engage in individual play, and have fun.It is obvious the player care. I was referring to a spectator viewpoint.
