No doubt.

Things are becoming more real and people want the details.

I know a lot of people here are anxious for plans but as far as I can see it theres just nothing to say. US Club said it would be 9/1 in 26-27, thats a long way from now.

That's not true. US Club said the registration system would not change until the fall of 2026. Whether there are "transitional rules for USYS or USCS teams in 25/26 is something nobody knows.

Can't wait for posts from the SY+ Leo& Virgo parent.

I'm not replying to my own posts.

I do think SY+60 is the way to go. There must be others that see its logic as well.

I appreciate all the crazy spam posts fighting against SY+60. The more you go insane the more parents are introduced the the SY+60 concept.

You liking vanilla ice cream and getting mad that other people like chocolate by constantly replying to your own posts on SY plus sized will get us to 2,000!

I literally stopped posting last night and now theres a bunch more posts about addressing the trapped players that still exist under SY with a single date cutoff.

You on the other hand post like crazy saying the same thing about how great it is to put your head in the sand while responding to your own posts.

Come on, we all see it.

ECNL has no intention of solving the "All" trapped players issue. The CEO already said they try to reduce it the most by placing the cutoff to 9/1. Live with that and move on. Don't post 100 times and behave like a jerk.

But what about all the August kids who started “late” and now will miss club soccer their senior year because no more U19?

don't start late? go play U23?

Fine what about an August kid whose school is 8/1 so they are right where they need to be but now they can’t play club senior year? You don’t see that as an issue they will address.

I think ecnl is pretty straightforward - 9/1 as of 26/27. There may be exceptions like GY for showcases and allowing trapped players to play down during high school season for 8th graders. I don’t think anything surprising will come from them… but I could be wrong.

Still waiting for information from GA and mlsnext. I’m also curious if futsal will change. No real reason for them to change other than everyone else is. A lot of club teams play futsal together in the winter. Will be interesting to see what happens.

My point is ECNL admins won’t even acknowledge that to their club directors.

All seniors should be allowed to play and shouldn’t age out before finishing high school. I imagine accommodations will be put in place for this. Birthdate and age range for competition matters much less at 18/19.

If it was straight forward they would have no problem saying that. My buddy is an ECNL director on girls side for large ECNL club in California. He said after the announcement was made he emailed asking about the change and what the plans are and got a response that ECNL “would assists” he sent a follow up email as recent as last week asking for clarification for next year and 26/27.
No response.

He thinks something could be coming down the pipeline because ECNL is usually quick to respond to his questions. He’s not sure if ECNL/GA are in some sort of stand off of who will announce what first like a game of poker.

That’s interesting. I had assumed they weren’t yet acknowledging it because it is still 24/25 and they don’t want to take away from this season and the next. Could be that they don’t want to announce anything and have GA develop a better plan.

The ECNL final is on 7/20. I hope we will know something soon after that.

Bearing in mind CA tryouts are in Jan/Feb - so this must be resolved for ECNL at least relatively soon.
