Also, what exactly is the point to consolidate the best 36 while throwing away the other 100. You trust the system to be free of politics and fair. You believe all kids will stay the same?
Are you will to throw away talent song your kid can beat Real SoCal?
I posted the original. Why is narrowing the elite clubs to two “throwing the other kids away?” They would still play on non ECNL teams and have the chance to compete for ECNL positions on those teams. By the way, the next tier would be much better in that scenario and it would be much healthier for all involved. And what’s wrong with fielding local teams that can compete nationally? That’s how I’d define elite, not the watered down s show we have today.
My lord. Kids play within their Division which is based on region. There is a one time national playoff in the summer.
Competing nationally for youth soccer and other youth sports is stupid and is for one thing only..to monetize youth sports. Hardly ANY of these so called national superstars in these country club, fancy, "national leagues" will be pro or will ever get anyone to spend a dime to watch them play.
This is about marketing a product to affluent families, not about soccer.
