So Google is your North Star for truth and accuracy. Do you have a real source to reference? |
Another person who loves to argue for the sake of arguing. You got stats from a reliable source? Post it up. You’re the one with doubts. |
Not nice folks Do better |
Only time parents complain is when team does not get into higher bracket. Those same parents when placed in higher bracket will then say this the tournaments of tournaments. |
First time here, eh? Get thicker skin. Your kid isn't getting recruited. |
It's always crazy second team parents posting this stuff for a reason. Or subpar first team parents from clubs that never perform well so the parents are never happy no matter what happens all season. |
Some parents like it when their kids are placed in lower brackets. Gives their team a better chance and looks great on their social media. “MY KID’S TEAM WON 2nd PLACE AT JEFFERSON CUP” *post doesn’t mention they were in the 10th flight |
We’re in an entirely different orbit. One that makes me laugh at you. ECNL is a joke. |
Truth |
"We"? Your KID maybe, not your flabby middle aged self. Get a life. |
ngl this was funny

This wins. |
| Speaking from the girls side. It’s still a strong showcase. Does it compare to ECNL events? No. But the fact that many top ECNL and GA teams still compete in it make it an attractive showcase for schools to recruit from. (It also doesn’t conflict with any of the main ECNL or GA showcases). So. If your team is in the top 4 flights and playing in the prime field locations, they will get good attendance from college scouts. |

Yes, it’s becoming less relevant.
And Strikers have annually become more brazen in their bracket manipulation, that everyone from NY scouts and D1 coaches to parents and players have begun to see it as less of a national event than it used to be. |
