BRYC is re- labeling their 07B academy team as pre-ECNL. Kinda weird that they would have a U15 ECNL and U15 PRE- ECNL. Can anyone explain the thinking behind this?

Probably just lazy naming convention kept from prior years--I wouldn't read anything into it.

Don’t sell it short. You get all thr ECNL resources, travel, showcases etc.

“Stacked” seriously? What ECNL resources do you get? Only one team per R league gets invited to the lowest bracket of one ECNL showcase to play against the other ECNL-R and a few of the worst performing ECNL teams.

Other than that you get a patch.

It is just a league on par with CCL, NCSL and mostly EDP. There is no more demand to play on a ECNL-R team than there is a good EDP team. If you’re not on a ECNL team then the team/club you are on is just circumstance and proximity.

Enjoy your CCL scrimmage fests ok?

Ecnl-r has its own showcases and playoff systems now too.

This is interesting. Maybe BRYC is using the PRE-ECNL label for the team that will play in the ECNL-R league. If so they should just name it the BRYC ECNL-R Team so it would like BRYC 07B ECNL, BRYC 07B ECNL-R, BRYC 07B Blue (3rd team) or would this make too much sense?

Oh good grief folks plenty of other clubs use the same naming convention.

OMG with all the ECNL-R crap on the site lately. Somebody is new to this.

"Pre ECNL" has traditionally been used two ways.
1. To label a U11 or U12 A team in a ECNL club.
2. It has also been further extended to U13 and older ECNL club B teams.

The ECNL-R designation should replace "Pre-ECNL" as a B team designator.

The first designation for younger age groups is really the only proper and sensible use for it.

Every time this comes up, “rosé all-day” pops up like clockwork, bashing kids.

Aim high, PP!

Sounds like a nerve was struck. Comments like these wouldn’t be posted if you didn’t insist upon how great ECNL-R is for multiple pages and play down the accomplishments of those kids on the ECNL teams. In other words, you can dish it out but you can’t take it. Anyhow, the kids are great and I am happy for all of them. It’s the parents on this board that need to wake up.

“Play down” the accomplishments? When was that written? Starting early today, again?

Take the day off.

But BRYC already has an ECNL U15 team, and their other u15 team is labeled pre doesn't make sense to be a pre at u15

Um, look at the bolded.

Does it make sense? No, but this is how clubs use the letters E C N L to make something seem like more than it is. Parents believe it. Just look at the uptick in ECNL-R discussion lately, as if it is a thing. US Club soccer literally just changed the name from NPL to ECNL-R and BOOOM! parents suddenly believe their kids are really in ECNL or worse. It was literally not much more than a branding exercise and now people are acting like they are in a national level league. It won't surprise me to see clubs extend the brand down to "pre -ECNL-R" soon.

Ecnl-r has its own showcases and playoff systems now too.

If ECNL-R team does well, it gets to play in the same showcases as the ECNL teams.

There has always been a national NPL playoff and championship. This is literally nothing new that ECNL has done for ECNL-R.

Of course not because NPL teams never had to drive that far because they are not in ECNL.

Ecnl-r has its own showcases and playoff systems now too.

So one ECNL-R league winner at each showcasing age gets to play against other ECNL-R league winners and the poorest performing ECNL clubs at one showcase.

As far as the actual ECNL-R dedicated showcase are concerned both overlap each other by 2 days.

The ECNL-R showcase is 2.5 hours away from the ECNL showcase and the Arizona showcase is also at two different locations nut at least still in the Phoenix area.

Good luck with coach attendance in Florida. Arizona may not be that bad but ECNL is not putting the Regional teams at the same location.

Except the VA NPL website is still active:
https://www.vapremierleague.com/

Were you seriously this excited about these exact same clubs and teams two years ago when they were called NPL?

[Anonymous]

Pre-ECNL? Lol. That is just setting the hook on the parents. How about just calling it "academy" or "U9 Vipers". Let the kids play and see who makes it. The best league will change by the time they hit U14 at the rate we're going.
