LOL. What rules? Players can move if they want. Before you go, ask your DD what target schools she is considering. The schools will help inform if or where to move. |
Such misguided advice |
You looked it up but didn't read it. You can change clubs as long as the leagues are different. Happens all the time literally every single year. |
Head over to McLean or BRYC. They have a great track record. Also, after covid- try the individual college ID camps. |
There's a whole thread dedicated to the ECNL rules. You can also see them on their website. An ECNL player cannot move mid-season to another ECNL club. Simple as that. From another league, that's fine. Don't fill this with trollish-FCV-style posts. Thanx |
So authoritative. Actually players can move from ECNL club to ECNL club mid-season with the approval of the clubs on both sides. Rare, but it happens. |
True. A player can absolutely move mid season. But, as pp said, if you are trying to make a move within a league (ECNL to ECNL) you will need a waiver. Otherwise, you are good. Look for a club with a smaller roster. It will be easier to get a spot on that team. If you go with a club with 20+ on a team, your player will have to be VERY good to get a spot - and that will be hard coming from a CCL team, as the speed of play is slower in general. |
Fact Check: Not True, CCL is a very good league. My Club is based in Virginia and we usually have 2-3 Division 1 signings per year. We also usually have a couple of Division 2 signing along with numerous Division 3. Just because a person had a bad experience does not mean the leagues is "shitty". Just sounds more like ignorance. |
We live closer to BRYC than Mclean; will try that. I saw the record isn’t impressive but I’m sure DD will help. Additionaly, ECNL just seems to be more serious of a venue. Our club does nothing to better the girls besides a basic practice and that’s it. Coaches are good, plenty of friends, but it’s more of a social gathering. One of the people running it even has a relative playing for a different club so why shouldn’t we? |
Thank you, not the PP but I’m glad you gave some evidence. This is the problem with CCL clubs. A couple girls might play Division 1. |
| Why would you want to leave CCL? |
| I would not be so quick to change, you are more likely to stand out as the best player on a subpar team. It is all about getting notice in-front of the right person. |
Because by the time you hit U15, it’s not a serious program anymore. 7, 8 players at a practice. Half the team prioritizing other sports, activities. C.C.L. is a great environment for players of varying skills and abilities that do not have ambition to play beyond high school. But if you are a girl and a soccer player, ECNL is the place to be and the GA not far behind it. |
| It sounds like the only way to the next level in CCL is thru ID camps. |
This is the same only poster that hates the CCL and keeps posting over and over his/her dislike of the CCL. That is why anonymous posting is useless. |
