And its not, "Same will happen to NE". The NE has been this way from years.

And no, no new area clubs will be added.

And no, they are not splitting

And no, they are not becoming regional

And no, to whatever BS you will come up with next.

for years lol. the ignorance and bad information around here is hilarious.

The NE added 3 teams that will be in the "South" region. Additional teams will be added to the north very soon. The travel will stay within the regions, lessening the longer travel for the southern and most northern teams. THAT has not been happening for "years".

The whole point of splitting the division to limit the travel kinda means they will not be playing each other.

Welcome Stafford to your elite league.

+1. Maybe they can rename the northern MA division ERNL and call it a day. Everyone here should be happy with that because lots of big CA clubs are fielding ERNL teams, therefore it’s still “elite”

How would it work? I know the NE is divided but Bethesda still plays the MA and CT teams.

Maybe wait and see if this NEW NEW league lasts longer than the last one or even lasts a year before criticizing what the league that didn’t die should or shouldn’t do. Just a thought.

ECNL was created in 2009 and survived the full wrath of the USSF and won. I think we all know what league will still be around and thriving. Just a though.

Same will occur in the NE- awaiting the announcement for the new North teams.

So, that means a couple of possibilities:

Larger clubs like Richmond and Loudoun will add their B teams

ECNL RL clubs will be included so you get to play CYA, PWSI, VSA, Stafford or other NPL teams.

ECNL will add more clubs. Only Beach FC remains as worth adding.

D I L U T I O N.

LOL you mean like more team similar to the ones in the DMV? I know let’s just have a max of two ECNL club per state! One will be in Richmond and one in the DMV. If you are picking one clubs for the DMV it would be BSC(not in Va but in the DMV). They have a strong girls program and the ECNL wants their boys team. No D I L U T I ON! Would you be happy with that?

The poster is right to a certain point.
North and South will play each other once and there division South and North 2x if the virus continues to make travel hard.

North Division:
BRYC
Loudoun
McLean
NCFC
NCFC youth
Richmond United
VDA

South Division:
Charlotte independence
Charlotte soccer academy
Carolina elite Soccer Academy
South Carolina united
NC Fusion
Wilmington Hammerheads

They will ALL play each other once the only difference is the North will play each other 2x and the South will play each other 2x. And this only happens IF full play doesn’t happen come the fall due to travel under Covid.
And yes this is happening at this point and as we get closer to the fall season they will look again at the schedule.

GA is still the weakest conference and league. They can try to spin this how they want but the above is truth.

ECNL was created in 2009 and survived the full wrath of the USSF and won. I think we all know what league will still be around and thriving. Just a though.

ECNL currently has 96 clubs. They have added this spring but they are not included in the count. Of those 96, about 10 to 20 are top notch. The rest are just soccer clubs.

As ECNL expands, and it will expand, it will simply be the largest national league but the quality will be closer to a National CCL level.

So, much like DA faced with MLS clubs ECNL will have to tier their league or the top clubs will begin to grow restless pounding on undeserving clubs. ECNL will then either have to kick clubs out, (lol, never), or tier to the top 40-50. If they don’t tier those same clubs, who don’t need the patch, will just form their own thing and splinter off.

The cycle will repeat. The leagues need the mega clubs more than the mega clubs need the league. When PDA’s B team is still a top team in a ECNL division how patient will a club like PDA be pounding on FC Bucks? The mega clubs will eventually splinter off and do their own thing and invite the clubs they like to follow along.

That was how ECNL was built and why it was successful and capped around 50 clubs.

If a North/South division is created in the mid Atlantic they will have to back fill with more clubs. As currently scheduled HS prohibits any flexibility between MD and VA games other than Jan/Feb/Mar games before VA spring HS starts. And nothing is more predictable and fun than February soccer.

ECNL is watering itself down.

Why are those NC teams being placed in the north? Isn't it better for them to play the teams in the south?

I do not understand this argument. As it’s the same as when ECNL added teams over the last two years. It’s an argument for arguments sake. Will this new league even survive until next summer? Who knows.

Add to it this area is too watered down so honestly, stop. Just stop. Clubs from this area strike no fear in top clubs from GA, CA, TX, NJ. Find a spot for your kid, start training more than the wall balls these local clubs think suffice and pray it works out.
