I think they meant big day. May 1.

I predict things will mostly stay as they are. Teams that are good will be good. Teams that are not as good will largely stay that way.

Totally agree with this. I don’t expect any huge surprises as much as it would be exciting to see play out iber the next years season.

Only real movement, if any, will happen at U13-U14 ages. After that most kids are pretty settled into their teams and their team roles. So unless a player is really getting screwed out of playing time at their current club actual player movement steadily decreases with player age.

So, if you are on a team that is struggling and looking for and infusion of talent don't necessarily count on it. There are just far to many options that have already diluted teams across the area.

im not so sure about that. I saw half a team new to some ecnl teams over last couple of years.

Is it possible some of that is DA related? Or new ECNL club related?

What you need to watch for is the one or two impact players who may be leaving or joining a team. That's all some teams need to change their trajectory from a negative to a positive.

You will see movement of players looking to join better teams for purposes of showcasing. However, players on a good team at 05 and above will likely stay put next year. (9th grade and above)...but like I said earlier, look for the movement of a few key players.

Impact players are likely to stay put since their role is generally secure.

And good players in this area have more options in ECNL/DA than anywhere else in the country. Its no longer a matter of if you don't make first club for your team you play for second team. Many are trying out for multiple ECNL/DA clubs. Very few teams are done finalizing rosters for next year.

Yes.....IF they are on a good team.

You have to really pay attention to each individual age group.

BRYC has sent a first round of offers.

It impacts the MD teams next year. The "B" teams will play in ECNL II, which will mirror the same schedule as the ECNL I teams.

Main positive for clubs is more $$$.

Main positive for B team players is that presumably they will have more chances to play up with A team since both A team and B team will be playing same opponents on same day at the same location. For example, if A team has some injuries, illnesses or conflicts with its players not being able to play, then it is much easier for B team girls to fill in. Perhaps some clubs will even take a more academy-style approach to their rosters for A and B teams for games each weekend, but I doubt it.

Main negative for B team parents and players is increased $$$ and increased travel on away weekends.

CCL I and CCL II with much more travel. Asking B team families to pay 5-7k per child is a joke when their local competition is just good enough for 1.5-2.5k (including team fees).
