Top finishers in the 2017-18 DPL season will earn a chance to compete in the 2018 US Youth Soccer Region IV Championships, which will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to having an opportunity to qualify for Regionals, DPL winners who advance to the Region IV Championships will have their entry fee paid for by the league.
Competition during the 2017-18 DPL season will also determine which teams earn their place in the 2018-19 National League season. The National League provides an avenue for teams to play in meaningful matches against top competition from across the country for continued development. In addition to recruiting opportunities, National League teams compete for the National League title and one of four slots from each gender age group to the annual US Youth Soccer National Championships, the oldest and most prestigious youth soccer national championships.
