I was just talking about this with a club board member yesterday and the impact it would have on the soccer landscape. It would be an interesting move as most kids are not going to be called for international duty and this aligns well with the NCAA.

That’s all I can say at this point.

Youth cancel member spilling it on a random forum lol.

I’m not sure if it’s the same person but someone posted the same thing on the new college soccer truths X comments.
When I looked them up on X it did say they worked for both of the organizations.

Why haven’t other leagues mentioned anything.

is ECNL the spokes person for the rest of the leagues? Seems like they are putting this news out to get people to want to switch.

ECNL will benefit the most from the switch. Why do other leagues want to promote the change? MLS Next will lose quite a few late birthday bench players who can start in ECNL after the change.

Yeah. Right.
Leave Bethesda MLS Next for Potomac ECNL lol

All the words are just politically correct to justify their move. The decision has already been made and will be announced in Nov., just before the tryouts.

This is nonsense. They cannot do it alone and right now no one else wants to move. In any event this is still under study. Do not expect an answer until mid-next year at best.

They definitely can do it with US club soccer. Which has already agreed and it is out of ECNL hands and us club is handling things at this point. However they have said they do not want to do it without the majority. But we will definitely have answers soon. One way or the other.

I’ve heard from someone at the So Cal soccer league who is governed by US club it’s definitely happening. They are just going through all the official channels but behind the scenes it’s already decided.

I don’t think that statement was made by college soccer truth, for shits and giggles. They don’t have the votes.

Some ECNL clubs will suffer from this as well. Parents can’t handle change

I knew an ECNL club already started age group training to prepare for the change.

🤣

I'm laughing and... and a local coach is already pulling some of their older 2013s to try to figure out if its the secret sauce after the first weeks of the season. Not a new or unique strategy

They just ran a simulation in Subbuteo, and it worked out so much better. They have the data to support a complete changing of the system. All the 4th quarter Subbuteo players were 75% more likely to get recruited, the 3rd quarter players who were safe from are now in jeopardy. But this move was never really about them so it doesn't matter.

I heard that they are going to a hybrid birth and school year model where clubs will be able to maximize their profits by exploiting families in the most flexible ways possible. Should start Nov 1 and new rosters have already been drawn up...I've seen them...all of them. I heard there were big cuts for your dear kids!

I also just had breakfast with the ECNL presidents neighbor, and he said that he heard from the neighbor on the other side that the president said that he thinks he will be rich soon. Exciting stuff.

I just read about this on another big soccer forum. It's spot on!
