ECNL moving to school year part 2

[Anonymous]

My son’s coach at a large and top Texas ECNL club told me the club is already populating teams for next season in advance of the transition. He said the tricky situation is when an Aug - December kid is doing well on his current team but there may not be enough room for him in the higher level team in his new age category. For example, a good ECRL player that may not be able to move up to ECNL next season. This type of player would just stay on his team next season and would technically be playing up.

I assume the club will have the August - December boys train with teams of different levels in the spring to finish populating teams prior to open try outs in May.

You folks racked up 193 pages quickly. Just curious, I assume MLSN is not going to remain in the wild be the only BY after GA announced.

Any details on when they will announce either way? I thought it would come by now.

No official news yet. Just rumors and one person responding to their own posts saying the rumor is true. But, with nothing to back it up.

Q3/Q4 players will surely train in the younger NL team at least one month before the tryouts, as the Q3/Q4 outside players will do the usual pre tryout practice in the NL team. But if Q3/Q4 still play in their original team for the Spring season, does it mean they now have to do double training?

MLSN Academy plays up this season and gets beaten by older p2p MLS1. Will they remain the same next season or they prepare for the SY change for p2p MLS1?

Thats an interesting conundrum but if the good ECRL player Q4 kid still cant make the ECNL team in his new age group, why not play RL in his new age group? Why stay with the RL team a year up? Do we think that is better from a player development perspective?

We are GA team with a star August player. Our coach already let her parents know she will have the choice to stay with the team or "playing down" next season.

I believe thst you're lieing but whatever.

its interesting that your "coach" is giving you the option to play down. Almost like they dont want to be the one that screwed over a players future.

That what I thought , "Mr August" is the same poster "Captain BY"

When presented info contrary to his beliefs , the first reaction is to call the other liars.

Just like when he called basically anyone who shares SY info liars before.

Mr August = Captain BY = Mr Ugh… no doubt at all. It is so telling and for their sake I hope it is an AI bot. Otherwise what a miserable existence.

I am pretty sure this poster has a GA Q1/2 kid. You can tell from his posts he harbors a deep resentment against ECNL (on a thread titled "ECNL moving to school year" , no less)

As "Captain BY", he would

1, Lash out at anyone who shares new SY info, calling them liars.
2, Call Q3/4 players losers for eagerly awaiting to move down
3, Suggest wild , sometimes non-sensical BY development , eg, NCAA going pro and (somehow) goes BY , MLSN/GA starting their own BY ecosystem, from U7 all the way up , NWSL partnering with GA to form NWSL next , etc.

Then after the BY battle was lost with GA going SY. He has to channel his energy and anger somewhere , so he became "Mr August"

1, August kids moving down from their grade are cheaters. And for whatever reason, the clubs won't allow it.
2, Cheerleading for MLSN as the "pro pathway" and they could still stay BY because they "can do whatever they want". This comes from being GA parent, with a big chip on his shoulder , against ECNL.

I am fairly sure this poster is a certain user from Socal Soccer message board, from the similar arguments and the writing style. Except on the Socal board, as a registered user, he has to actually make coherent arguments and cannot insult people left and right. On DCUM, he became totally unhinged. Anonymous forum sometimes does bring out the worst in us.

Waiting for your reply in meme. lol

That’s because it is them. And they have been anti truth from the beginning.

I think you're less anti truth and more pro moron.

That’s exactly what someone who can’t admit they were wrong this whole time would say…. Lash out and attack.
Just say I was wrong you were right I’m stupid you guys are smart.

Dad of a GA Sept kid past trapped age most likely. He said she was Sept, "plays up" and she is on the older side because he feels that anyone who disagrees only has a younger kid and he feels that he knows exactly how college recruiting works and is worried his girls team will be blown up. Clearly doesn't want things fixed after girl went through trapped year, seems jealous and envious of ECNL, wants his girl to be able to play down a year and be the oldest. Just overall selfish logic to always try to helicopter the rules to advantage his girl. Probably responsible for 300-400 pages of nonsense. Girl showed him how do link memes a bunch years ago and is like the nerd that thinks reciting an SNL line for the 100th time is funny. I would chip in for one of those serial killer profilers because learning the background of how someone could go off the rails so much would be fascinating.

My money is on late July bday, kid is an average starter at mlsn. while he lobbied for GA to stay BY it was more thinking it would help MLSN keep from switching, which he really can't seem to let go of now. if GA was the motivation, he'd be off these boards by now as that is a done deal.

Definitely a GA player. Was anti SY so makes me think has Q1/2 kid. But are saying their September born player is awesome and will play up but at the same time is afraid of Aug kids playing up.

I think they just have some screws loose either way.

This is a possibility. But its always been a possibility because nobody has an issue with players playing up.

The more obvious problem situation is Aug birthday players in BY playing with their correct grade. Will these players be forced to play on a grade down SY team?

Could go either way.

If players are older and the team is winning most likely they'll keep everything as is.

If the playera are younger it will be like every season when teams are shuffled after tryouts.

It won't go either way. All players (with rare exceptions just like now) will play in their new age grouping. Just like now. Excepting of course for small-time clubs. All of this talk about about players deciding to play up, or coaches talking about keeping certain players up (or teams up) will all disappear as evals and tryouts roll around. It is just lip service to keep parents calm and from coaches who don't even get to make the decisions.

My daughter’s coach (MVLA) told us they plan on allowing current Aug-Dec players within the club to stay up. However that will be something they determined fully after tryouts.
