DA vs ECNL vs everything else

[Anonymous]

What some people don't understand is this fact.

Next year, a kid who is a young 03 will be looking to join a combined age group team. That young 03 could be almost three years younger than the oldest 02. Its a tough hurdle for a younger 03 just to make a team full of older 03's.

If you look at a lot of "good" teams, they are typically stacked with kids who are on the older end of the age group. They were the kids that benefited from the age change. The younger kids skipped an entire year of soccer and are now looking to find a way.

USGDA does not to make its own U16 group in the DA...but they wont.

They still train as DA...just playing in EDP for the time being.

So this will take the place of the NE Pre-academy league? http://www.nationalpremierleagues.com/northeast-pre-academy-league

Pre-Academy League is part of US CLUB carding system - same as ECNL. EDP used to be part of US CLUB as well until this latest news. They are now part of USYSA and thus a competitor to both ECNL and Pre-Academy League.

This is just a rebranding of the Eastern Regional League (ERL) and a parking lot for younger age payers in combo year for DA to stay on the pitch. Now it will have DA teams along with the ERL type teams all jumbled in one big mess.

East Brunswick, NJ (May 9, 2018) –As a result of interest from several girls U.S. Soccer Development Academy clubs within the East Conference, eight Girls DA clubs in the US Youth Soccer East Region have gotten together to form the 16U US Youth Soccer National League Atlantic Development Player EDP Conference. This conference gives these clubs a chance to participate in a competition with parallel scheduling to the DA that will culminate with a playoff and a chance to participate in the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series.

The following U.S. Soccer Development Academy clubs have committed to playing in this conference for 2018-19:
•Arlington Soccer Association
•Cedar Stars Academy – Monmouth
•FC Fury
•FC Virginia
•Oakwood Soccer Club
•PA Classics
•Washington Spirit Academy - Baltimore Armour
•Washington Spirit Academy - Virginia


The 16U US Youth Soccer National League Atlantic Development Player EDP Conference will be part of the US Youth Soccer National Leagues program, which is launching nationwide in the 2018-19 soccer season. Teams in this conference will now have the opportunity to advance within the National Championship Series through league play, as well as through their local State Cups.

The 16U Girls team that wins the 2018-19 league season will advance to a playoff against other top tier champions of fellow National League EDP Conferences. The winner of this playoff will advance to participate in the Eastern Regional Championships and have the opportunity to win their way to the prestigious US Youth Soccer National Championships. Participating teams will also have the chance to advance to the Eastern Regional Championships via their local State Cup events.

In addition to Atlantic Development Player EDP Conference play, as an added value to participation in the conferences of the US Youth Soccer National Leagues program, participating teams/clubs will be invited to compete in a series of US Youth Soccer Showcase events that are to be scheduled in 2018-19 and beyond.

"The timing was perfect for our gap-year athletes," Cedar Stars Academy - Monmouth Girls Director of Coaching Charlie Naimo said of the Development Academy division. "Through the US Youth Soccer National League EDP Conference, we will be able to provide our members exclusive competition with our partnering DA member clubs. On behalf of the DA leadership group that has come together to form this division, we are all very excited to shape this division into an incredibly competitive environment.”

“I am extremely excited and honored to have the Development Academy clubs participating within the US Youth Soccer National League Atlantic Development Player EDP Conference,” said Jen Marcella, EDP Executive Director. “This structure will provide the academy clubs the opportunity for their 16U age group to play in a very competitive environment.”

Oh boy! B teams travelling hundreds of miles to play other B teams. How fun!

So this will take the place of the NE Pre-academy league? http://www.nationalpremierleagues.com/northeast-pre-academy-league

No, read the press release. It is for U16. Now could this then develop into a regional pre-academy league for the GDA clubs? Maybe, but for now it is being set up specifically because the clubs would like an attractive option to keep those girls on who do not make the combined U16/17 team.

This will, in all likelihood be a one year only thing until ussf splits out u16 and u17 next year. It is merely a way to keep the bottom half of this combined age group in the system and paying dues. Where is moneygrab guy.

Name one club that has or had both DA and ECNL where ECNL wasn’t the B team? You can’t because it doesn’t exist. Tool indeed.

And why would USSF split out the u16/17 age groups next year or in the future? Combined ages have been a part of the DA since it started.

If I hear one more VA resident complain that their are too many quality clubs with quality training for girls I might just blow my top. Seriously, you folks have access to ECNL (McLean, Loudon, VDA and BRYC) and DA (Arlington, WS and FCV). Folks in MD are struggling. Bethesda is the only club serving MoCo and NW Washignton. WS is a logistical nightmare (practices at SoccerPlex and in HoCo/BaCo. MUFC serces everyone else. If not for the disaster that is the AL bridge, most of us would check out the VA clubs and some do but stop your complaining. You have so many options it is insane and I am tired of the complaints.
