| I have a DD whose upcoming U12 team is in this new league. I was told ECNL starts at U13. Anyone with knowledge know when this Regional ECNL league starts? |
It isn’t new, it is just NPL with a new name. |
| I realize it is still the NPL teams but has been given a new name. Does it start at U11? |
VPL goes from U-11 to U-19. The ECNL RL press release doesn't say if they are taking the entire age range but i would imagine that is the case. The open cup starts at U-15. |
| On ECNL website it looks like Ohio and Texas have regional leagues too. They don’t start until U14. Not sure what Virginia will do. Anyone know? |
It would be great if DA and ECNL and all of their leagues DPL, ECNL2, Regional ECNL etc started at U14. |

| This is hilarious. So glad my kid is a HS Senior and I can leave this mess. Ten years ago Division 1 NCSL was the level of competition soccers teams aspired to reach. All these new leagues are a salve to parent egos and a money grab. |
I also think it's designed so that the 'rival' club from the next town over is in a separate elite league and you don't have to take a beatdown from the neighbors... |
Good luck at junior college! |
Yep. Go to a club where you participate in a real state cup championship. Not a place where (as people say ) plays in a quote unquote State Cup with 8 teams.
