GA and MLSN picked better safer locations to showcase. Im sure ECNL got a pretty good deal and made a pretty good $$ chosing Kansas in middle of winter.

Parents, like me, paying for all of the mess while staying awful hotels that are mandated to me by ECNL, too. Oh, but give me an option to buy my way out of Event Connect's mandatory stay to play, I mean some one has to get paid. Players missing school, parents missing work for a dog and pony show in the freezing cold while coaches will most likely not show for those two 8 am 18degree games against teams they played last month.

Midwest showcases in Dec don't work....TEN, STL. I mean, come on already. GO SOUTH!

And why is ECNL RL having a showcase the same weekend there? And why are there ECNLRL teams playing in the ECNL showcase when they have their own Showcase the same weekend.

ECNL needs to be broken up.

Who would break the league up? What the actual **** are you talking about? Take your daughter to another team in another league.

I get the point of ECNL being broken up as not happening - but OP can have the frustration that it's BS for shorten games, stay and play, poor playing conditions, etc. and just because they have those frustrations doesn't mean they should have to leave the the team and league.

Games are shortened on the last day to accommodate travel. It has nothing to do with the weather. There are other options. You people should take your kids there.

40 degrees is no joke. But at least its not snowing

Laughing in GA 😄 🤣 😂

Do you even hear yourself? Of course a college showcase is designed for the colleges. That’s the entire purpose of it. The league exists as a college recruiting platform. I absolutely want these events to be designed for the colleges. What are you even saying?

It could be a heckva lot better, for the kids. That's what I'm saying.

What changes would you make to improve it for the players?

Better for kids how? like Disneyworld? I don’t get what you want to happen. I can think of lots of amenities that would make it better but then it would cost even more.

To make sure the field is in a playable condition and at the very least above freezing temp. Playing in freezing temp on an icy field is dangerous and irresponsible on the league part.

You are blaming the league for the weather? ECNL chose KC because that’s where ncaa chose to have their college cup. You really don’t know anything about this.

Ecnl got a great deal on fields. Like selling ice pops outside in winter. Not a lot of demand, prices go down. Hence st Louis and Kansas in December. Ecnl 1 parents 0

And yet all of us will be there again next year if that’s the location. That’s what a near monopoly allows.

Which is why you want a rival that's a viable alternative. Makes both better.
