ECNL moving to school year part 2

In SoCal, the tryout will be Feb and May depends on the age group. Players usually do pre tryout practices for the elite team. So, how will the Q3/Q4 players do next spring? Ask to practice with the younger group before tryout and 3/4 months before the playoff? What will be the impact on the existing team's chemistry if a lot of Q3/Q4s show up and you are among the players on the chopping board?

I think most clubs would be wise to change up coaches across the broard to give them some cover when picking the new squad.

Clubs certainly have a balancing act ... If not done right, they'll be losing lots of existing players, especially at older ages not on top teams, who decide new teams/age ranges aren't worth playing anymore.
