For HS age girls, I don't think any of the local ECNL clubs "take HS season off" entirely. I wish folks who have no idea would stop promoting this misconception.
Each club is different, but most continue the normal or slightly reduced practice schedule, and actively manage fatigue on those players that are playing HS. As mentioned above, there are also tournaments, scrimmages, and various other events going on.

Yes, ECNL parent here, and I agree with the above. My ECNL HS player goes to private school so doesn't play HS soccer in the spring. In the spring, the players who are doing HS soccer are on a modified practice schedule to prevent overuse/injury. The kids not playing HS soccer (or spring sports) train together on a regular (3x per week) schedule - they combine players across the HS age groups to ensure critical mass. The teams still play in two spring showcases and have scrimmages and a few ECNL games. And yes, U13 and U14 play through the school year. Kids who are 8th graders but on a U15 team due to birthdate can play down with the U14s for the spring (trapped players).

In general is their any resentment (if that's the right word) towards the kids that play HS and don't train with the club team as much?

If you have every seen a high school game in VA you would know the answer. The level of play is very low for girls soccer. The play is slow and the skill set shown is very very low. So, no, the ECNL teams do not resent the players that go play HS as they are not major contributors to the ECNL team in the first place.

HS soccer commitment is 6 days a week with 2-3 games a week during the week. Exactly how modified could it be and be useful. Your option is to race to a ECNL practice if the time works out, effectively having a double session that day and for it to be “modified”. It is a overuse injury factory.

I think you are exaggerating. Not sure what HS your child is at but schools around here (VA) do not practice 6 days a week. And 20 games over 3 months is not 2-3 times per week. On average the kids are doing something soccer wise 5 days per week (no HS soccer on the weekend). Pretty much the same workload as DA. ECNL players choose whether to practice with HS, or ECNL, but not both on the same day.

I said 23 games and the games run form Mid March until late May.

13 weeks with Spring break off so 12 actual weeks. Not including pre-season scrimmages of which there are usually 3. Some weeks may have one game but most have two and several three games a week.

And if the team makes post season it just gets added on. It is a lot, it is mostly bad soccer and then you have your showcases to look forward to. But, because the showcase is in June you never scratch your head about why you were paying your ECNL club for 3 months of modified practices if you could even make them.

Can you do us a favor? Please get a username so we can ignore your chronic gaslighting! You are nuts!

Have a DD at McLean and I would say that 75% of the team does HS soccer in spring. Depending on the HS some coaches require you to attend all of their HS practices and others are happy with your player just coming a couple days a week and showing up for games. I think if given the choice the girls would come to their ECNL practice over the HS one but that isn't an option for all players. We do fewer ECNL practices than in fall. Instead of 3-4/week it is usually around 2 and they are combined with multiple age groups so that there aren't just 5 players there. The hardest is for the MD girls who want to play HS soccer which is a direct conflict with the busiest time for our ECNL team. The MD players on our team do not play HS soccer.

I am speaking in facts. Go to your own school's website, look up last springs schedule and report back.

23 games is 23 games. Pre-season scrimmages are a thing and post season happens.

HS coaches will practice every day but sunday when there isn't a game. It is a short, intense season with a brand new roster every year so there is no time to develop a style or system of playing. Coaches are judged on winning so any shortcut to winning will take place. It is a bad training environment. The substitution rules play to the worst elements of run hard and fast and sub out for a breather and then go back in. Games are more HIIT workouts than they are soccer games. There are stretches of 2-3 games a week with little recovery. Some games may be back to back. Fun when 12 not fun at 17.

And all of this while still paying for that unused ECNL training. When the best thing about playing is ECNL is the ability to not play in ECNL who is gas lighting who?

So what's your deal then? Are you just trying to win an argument ... shame ECNL'rs into joining the DA ... have it out for the high school soccer system for some reason?

On average, VA HS teams play 12 -14 games during the regular season. The regular season is typically from March to May (2 months and change). It’s easy to use google and verify it.

So, on average, a HS ECNL player is playing 12-14 HS games a year.

During the same timeframe, a HS DA player is playing approximately 10 club games.

So, on average, a ECNL player is playing 12 months a year. 10 months with Club and 2 months with HS.

A DA player is playing 12 months of club.

On average, ECNL is cheaper than DA.

On average, the majority of DA and ECNL players will find a college team to play on.

Over use? I know girls in both leagues that have torn their ACLs, etc. Nobody has a monopoly on injuried HS kids.

Quality?
HS is a nice break. An opportunity to have a little fun and represent your school. It’s okay If you or your child don’t see value in it. Don’t participate and focus on personal training or play another sport.

The attacks on HS soccer are from DA parents, coaches, and propagandist to sway you toward DA clubs.

How many area players do you know of that play on other national teams that are not as good as their club team? I can easily name 5.

Should they not do it because the level is lower?

Only insecure people come on these boards and hate.

Your answer is very easy than, do not let your child play high school soccer.
But don't complain if others want to play.

It's really very simple.

I'm just presenting the "fine print" as it were of what the true cost of some of the benefits are.

Again, ECNL folks will say "ECNL is so great! Your kids can play High School Soccer!" Why isn't ECNL so great that you don't want to play high school soccer? It is a lot of money to spend for the "benefit" of modified practices with combined teams of whoever is available for 3-4 months of your un-reduced training fees.

Let’s us know when you’re done bouncing back and forth between this thread and the pipeline thread. We would like for you to read vs posting so you can educate yourself. You seem to be spiraling.

HS soccer is not 3 to 4 months. It’s 2 or 2.5 months.
HS soccer regular season is not 20 games. It’s 12-14 games
ECNL, on average, is cheaper

You seem desperate.

Why?

Why?

No, it is 3 to 4 months. 3 months with tryouts and preseason. 4 months with added post season play depending on far a team advances. These are all things that are on a calendar and can be verified.

Schedules are still up from last spring, search for a NoVA school and count them up. 20 games minimum. March to May.

OK, so do the players resent the HS players because, instead of coming and training with the other ECNL girls, they are missing ECNL practices and training with the HS team and, thus, not improving as much or working as hard as the "dedicated" ECNL players.

Lol. You have lost all credibility. Go educate yourself and stay off the boards.

[Anonymous]

99 percent of ECNL players are playing HS. No, the players that are not playing HS do not resent their teammates because most are not raging morons like the adults on this forum. If they feel so strong about it they can go play DA and and it won’t be an issue.
