| ^^They get to charge more for essentially a B team with fewer costly restrictions like B licensed coaches and other similar expenses. This is about the bottom line and it is watering down ECNL. |

The clubs that had both DA and ECNL (PDA, Stars, ETC) AND have opted out of DA, are allowed to field 2 ECNL teams.
One team will practice 4 x a week, play 10 months out of the year, profession video review, trainers, and NO high school soccer. Essential, they've adopted the DA format. The other team will play 6 months out of the year, three practices a week, and be allowed to play High School soccer. |

Ok. There is no substance in his post. He's like a homeless mut running the street looking for a pat on the head. |

How do you know this? On the face of it, I kinda doubt that is their plan. |

The club’s plan in 2018-2019 for the 2005s will be to offer 2 ECNL teams to players. Both teams will be on a 10-month program, that will include conference games, ECNL Showcases and friendly weekends vs top clubs spread over the entire year.
The club’s plan for the 2001s-2004s will be to offer 2 different team options to our players. The first will be a 10-month ECNL program, that will include conference games, ECNL Showcases and friendly weekends vs top clubs spread over the entire year. This team will be selected based on ability first and then the willingness of the player to commit to the 10-month calendar. Players on this team will be allowed to participate in other high school sports, just not soccer. This year round program has been a formula for success for our elite players for the last 5 years. The Michigan Hawks will also offer 6-month ECNL programming for players, for those players that would like to play high school. The only difference for this group will be that they will play their conference schedule and showcases in the fall and winter, finishing up in early March, before high school starts. There will be an option for a spring showcase team for these players on the 6-month team that choose not to play in high school. |

Oh you're back! I missed you. Did the DA offer finally roll in when the ECNL girls turned it down? |

This is interesting in that ECNL as a league, today, only offers a fall league schedule for high school age kids (U15+). At least in our east coast conferences that's the way it is. There is still activity going on with practices still occurring on a non-interference basis, and some showcases during the spring HS season. It's more like an 8 month season, with a heavy club load in the fall and a lighter club load in the spring. So it would appear that these dual team clubs are going to find some sort of additional options during this HS period for the top team to include tournaments and friendlies, and players can still do HS sports but not soccer. That sounds kinda hollow, because with real 10 month programming, there is very little time for such a thing. Then they have 6 month programming for ECNL second teams, which presumably has no activity during spring HS season. I don't think that's going to be a real popular option, at least I don't see the attraction. |

Does everyone notice that this clown hack actually never contributes anything to the discussion. Just a loud mouth homeless mut barking at passing cars.
