ECNL forcing Brave & Union Partnership

While 2010 Beach may not be that much different than their RL team.

I don't think it's the same at every club. This is probably hold tru for 2011 Arlington NL & RL and very different for 2011 Wilmington team.

McLean 2010 is probably strong since there are no mclean players on Union 2010.

I've seen kids getting moved from RL to NL and after a season, able to snatch the starter spot but often than not, those kids who get moved up need time to adjust to the speed of play in the NL competition. Depend on the team/ club, speed of play between NL and RL could be significant.

I'm pretty sure and willing to bet the farm the speed of play between RL and NL isn't much different

Hate to break it to you, but you just lost the family farm.

+1.

Players can play faster (if that is the system) and decision-making is MUCH faster in NL. Are there kids that can run just as fast in RL? Sure. But they can't think, pass, and handle the ball as fast.

In talking to a DIV 1 college coach who went to ECNL College Showcases last season for both NL and RL in Florida, he said that you'll find a quality player in ever 3 games in a RL showcase. Some RL teams do field multiple quality players consistently, like Arlington and Pipeline, but they are the outliers.

He said for a NL Showcase, ever single game has multiple players that are quality.

The reason he goes to the RL Showcase is because ECNL schedules the Showcases for RL and NL back-to-back, which makes it convenient and not too costly, and he gets to spend a solid week in Florida during the colder days of January/February.

As long as he is looking in both, he will find a quality player. Quality player can even be on the street. You don’t have to be in ECNL to be a quality player. You just have to be at the right place to be spotted. Take South American or African players for example. All you need is a scout to go to the favelas or streets and you will recruit the likes of Ronaldinho and Vinicius. Remember 90% of the kids in ECNL NL are there because of the parents politics.

Lot of dumb in this response.

Nobody is dumb here. Everyone knows what goes under the hood at these levels and what some crazy parents do to get the kid on teams they can’t handle. There is no merit or anything for most. It is all Poli-Tiks

Much of politics and sweet donations in other places.

Is McLean playing ECNL R? I thought I heard they were not playing ECNL R for some reason.

MYS' green teams will play ECRL. For the older age groups, they will only have green and white (NCSL) teams now that they no longer have teams in ECNL.

Page 267 was way more interesting than page 268 has started.

Here’s another one. Are we there yet?

The bottom line. ECNL is pay to play and if you go the big pay way, even better.

So it looks like the 2009 boys will suck just as much next year as they were this year. Bottom feeders, I was hoping for better talent to be added, but it looks like the handful of kids they added are worse than the ones there before—time to get my money back and look for something else. If all us parents see it, how is this guy Tyler so blind? Keep no one and build from new..and if you add outsiders can we please get some real talent.

If you are reading this FXU coaches, having tryouts into mid April means you done a crap job of recruiting.

NVA isnt much better.. best 3 players left after new coach botched tryouts and offers.. as soon as they learned who he added they got pissed and left. Then 2 of outside club players backed out. Coach added no attacking players and kept weakest player. With the of the 2 best attacking players gone I suspect they will be right at the bottom with FVU.

You don’t actually seem like a guy whose kid got an offer.
My guess is if he did no one would mind if you and your son moved along. Last things anyone wants or needs.
If your kid is still going to tryouts and they don’t have an offer it’s probably time to move on. They have been giving offers since after the first ID session, those tryouts are looking for the last kid or two. With high school and the madness of this tryout season it makes sense to take a look at some kids who are registering new.
No one knows the makeup of that team except the coaches currently.
So nice try, hope you feel better and you’re taking your anger out on a forum instead of your kid.

Will the boys talk get us to 300? Survey says NAH!

What boys are sticking around to play for McLean? I heard most of the top McLean players on the boys side were heading to Arlington or other clubs, even at the youngest age groups.
