FCV finds its way into ECNL. Loudoun’s days coming to an end

[Anonymous]

Great Falls now expected to be tops in the ECNL R league with Gus coaching there with Rado. They also are playing top level EDP at some age groups.

Yippee.

ECNL R is a part of ECNL. Yes, it is one level below, but it is ECNL nonetheless. Try to keep up.

Yes, in the same way that single A baseball is part of the MLB.

No, it isn't. It is simply rebadged NPL and nothing more. The best you can hope for is if you win your ECNL-R division you get to play in the lowest possible bracket at one ECNL showcase. That's it. There is no promotion relegation between the two it is simply a matter of marketing, which is apparently working on fools like you, to have US Club soccer leagues under the same umbrella and nothing more.

ECNL-R allows for a B team league for existing ECNL clubs while providing the ability to limit travel by adding non-ECNL club teams so that a competitive local/regional league can exist.

ECNL-R does not provide a pathway into ECNL for non full ECNL clubs.

ECNL-R is still a rank above the GA. GA is a rec league.

If it is then why haven't FCV GA teams moved to ECNL-R?

Way to contradict yourself. Not part of ECNL but possible to play in an ECNL showcase. Look at you stomping your feet like a petulant child.

Unlike ECNL your ECNL-R is not guaranteed of playing in a ECNL showcase. You can't plan on it, bank on it, write College Coaches with the expectation of it. You are not functionally a part of ECNL other than rounding out the bottom of a single showcase bracket playing against mostly other ECNL-R teams and the worst performing ECNL teams.

From the ECNL website:
"ECNL Regional League
After a small but tremendously successful pilot program during the 2018-2019 season, the ECNL Girls Regional League platform expanded to include 6 leagues in the 2019-20 season which was suspended due to COVID-19.

The 2020-2021 season will feature 12 leagues, 4 of which are licensed leagues participating in regional competition. Each ECNL Girls Regional League is structured slightly differently, reflecting the unique needs and desires of the participating clubs, geography, and more."

The bolded demonstrates that ECNL-R is structured in the same way that the various NPLs were. ECNL-R is not "National" in scope. Each regional league acts independently and simply share the same letters, just as they once did when those letters where NPL. They are not only functionally separate from each other regional League they are functionally separate from ECNL.

Pepsi owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. They make different food. Sometimes you will even find a building that has both a Pizza Hut and a Taco Bell within. Yet they still make different food. They may have the same parent company and function under the same corporate umbrella they will always be different in their product other than selling Pepsi in both.

The "Pepsi" between these two leagues are nothing more than the letter "E C N L" but the "R" makes all the difference between the two.

Save your breath. It's not worth educating these fools. They are either trolls/baiting you, or they really don't understand (and never will). Let them keep shouting from the rooftops that the high and mighty FCV finally has ECNL now.

There is no possible path for an ECNL R team to advance to ECNL. An ECNL team can win every game 10-0, and they will be in the bottom bracket of a showcase. They can win every game they play in the showcase 10-0. The next season, they don't get promoted to ECNL, they return to ECNL-R

sorry an ECNLR team can win every game. Point for purposefully confusing marketing

Nobody is crying nor do they need a binky.

Simple facts have been posted without any attacks. And here is another fact, Villarreal only has their boys side in ECNL-R. Their girls teams are not a part of ECNL-R. So, sorry but FCV girls will not be playing in ECNL-R much less ECNL anytime soon. These are just facts.
