ECNL moving to school year not calendar

BY: fine
SY: fine

Delaying: not fine. Total cop out joke if they do that. Pick one and more on.

If they are going to delay - chickenshit type move - but if they are going to delay, then they should put an exception in for trapped 8th graders now

As the parent of a kid with an October birthday, I agree, total chicken shit. My kids is already on a top team in his age group, I have no idea whether he'll stay up, or move to the top team an age group down. I could see pros and cons of each so I really don't care, what I dislike is the uncertainty. Just do it or don't.

More than likely clubs will have the option to delay based on what each league decides. That is all being worked out behind the scenes. But ECNL will start asap.

No shot they delay. Makes no sense. Clubs can adapt quickly as it’s just moving some kids around. Some people act like it’s a huge undertaking. It will take some time for teams to gel and get better, but no time to implement the change.

ECNL will start in 25/26, with a possible limited SY change in Spring 25.

Socal league will start in 26/27, but clubs have an option to switch SY in 25/26 while playing up.

IMHO, clubs who delay changing to SY will lose trap players, so it's not a wise move.

A delay and my kid moves from club to a league that doesn't delay. Absolutely terrible choice for families and kids.

The problem would be if all or most leagues in a state decided to delay. The. You are stuck with what’s around you. Smart teams will start right away and play up if they have to and it will end up being the same thing anyways.

No one has agreed upon anything in this whole thread faster than the unanimous agreement that delay sucks.

Which probably means it’s exactly what they’ll do.

That’s because most clubs and leagues only care about their bottom line.

Nobody wins from a delay other than lazy club directors who don't want to do the work now.

i'm already planning a day of "working from home" the day they announce this so i can get my popcorn and read all the forums on this when they do something as dumb as delaying the start - it would be the only thing everyone agrees on and the one thing everyone will attack them for

GY wasn't part of the survey, it is not being considered, you are projecting a fear.
