In the depths of winter, with less soccer to see in person, there's still plenty of soccer to talk about. This past summer of 2020, in a relatively new pandemic era, a contingent of youth soccer clubs in Iowa proposed a new league with the Iowa Soccer Association called the Club Development League (CDL). This podcast tries to provide a neutral overview of of the differences between the CDL and the previously all-encompassing Iowa Soccer League (ISL), which is now, effectively, the second tier of youth soccer in Iowa. We'll break down what we can with our basic research skills and hopefully, we'll have a chance in the coming weeks to gain some perspective from some of the individuals that are closer to it on a daily basis.
