DPL's Vision
We 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.
Triangle United and our DPL girls program are excited about our partnership with Duke University and their Sports Sciences Institute. Players in the DPL girls Program have access to some of the best Specialists in the World. The FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence at Duke Sports Medicine will be conducting Sports Performance Assessments for DPL girls teams.
The testing will include assessments of: Flexibility, Strength, Power, Speed, & Agility
