GA is not as good as ECNL but stop with this silliness of ECNL-R being a top league in any way shape or form. As ECNL and GA both continue to expand it is simply a race to the bottom.

I disagree. The mid Atlantic ecnl-r teams would do well in the GAL mid Atlantic.

ECNLr is the old CCL which was slowly fading away on the girls side. It’s just the ECNL wants the whole pie($). I do not understand why they did not offer ECNL to more clubs. Now was the time to do it. Consolidate everything, come back in a 3 years and make some adjustments(kick clubs to the ENCLr).

I think their main objective was to move into the boys side. Though the boys side has a lot more competition and is less league dependent.

Well arlington was average to above average in GA but you think their 2nd team would do well in Ga? Does not make sense unless you think there is little difference between their teams?

How is this partnership going to work for VIVA girls teams? Some here have said that fcv second teams would play ecnl-r so where will the viva teams go, NCSL? Or is this going to be the case that VIVA will be mixing their players w st james (fairfax) players to form one team? VIVA already had their girls teams so not sure how this partnership benefits VIVA if their teams are going to ncsl. Thoughts/answers?

No. I think ecnl-r teams would do well in the GAL. Nothing about 2nd teams

VIVA doesn’t have a full slate of girls teams. Some age groups have no team and others are a mixture. FCV this year started to to create “South” teams based in Fairfax but only in a few age groups. So it seems logical that the VIVA girls teams will combine with the FCV South teams to fill out full teams. Nobody is going to a different league it’s all expansion. On the boys side FCV didn’t really have much so they can be FCV VIVA “north”

I'm glad you are happy to be in ECNL's B league. Your kids path to UNC is paved with gold.

The dominance of ECNL-R is palatable. Villarreal can't even field teams in the league across the age groups. LOL

You people are missing the point of ECNL-r. It doesn’t matter which league has better teams. They serve different purposes. ECNL and GAL are national leagues for players interested in getting maximum college exposure, showcases, etc. ECNL-r players are generally done playing after high school. Just because a player is in ECNL-R doesn’t mean they are inferior. Just that they are not likely to play in college.

This true. They have had no functional 08g team for a couple years. Last year the 4-5 08s played with the 07s, then in the spring the 08s fielded a low level NCSL team with mostly 09s. Heard the 07s lost a few players over the summer too, so that range definitely would benefit from the merger.

Yippee.

ECNL R is a part of ECNL. Yes, it is one level below, but it is ECNL nonetheless. Try to keep up.

No, it isn't. It is simply rebadged NPL and nothing more. The best you can hope for is if you win your ECNL-R division you get to play in the lowest possible bracket at one ECNL showcase. That's it. There is no promotion relegation between the two it is simply a matter of marketing, which is apparently working on fools like you, to have US Club soccer leagues under the same umbrella and nothing more.

ECNL-R allows for a B team league for existing ECNL clubs while providing the ability to limit travel by adding non-ECNL club teams so that a competitive local/regional league can exist.

ECNL-R does not provide a pathway into ECNL for non full ECNL clubs.

Way to contradict yourself. Not part of ECNL but possible to play in an ECNL showcase. Look at you stomping your feet like a petulant child.

From the ECNL website:
"ECNL Regional League
After a small but tremendously successful pilot program during the 2018-2019 season, the ECNL Girls Regional League platform expanded to include 6 leagues in the 2019-20 season which was suspended due to COVID-19.

The 2020-2021 season will feature 12 leagues, 4 of which are licensed leagues participating in regional competition. Each ECNL Girls Regional League is structured slightly differently, reflecting the unique needs and desires of the participating clubs, geography, and more."

The bolded demonstrates that ECNL-R is structured in the same way that the various NPLs were. ECNL-R is not "National" in scope. Each regional league acts independently and simply share the same letters, just as they once did when those letters where NPL. They are not only functionally separate from each other regional League they are functionally separate from ECNL.

Pepsi owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. They make different food. Sometimes you will even find a building that has both a Pizza Hut and a Taco Bell within. Yet they still make different food. They may have the same parent company and function under the same corporate umbrella they will always be different in their product other than selling Pepsi in both.

The "Pepsi" between these two leagues are nothing more than the letter "E C N L" but the "R" makes all the difference between the two.

Save your breath. It's not worth educating these fools. They are either trolls/baiting you, or they really don't understand (and never will). Let them keep shouting from the rooftops that the high and mighty FCV finally has ECNL now.

Woah! Look at Batman coming to save Robin! Pepsi and Taco Bell, oh my!

Only fool around here is you.

Question: Does FCV have ECNL? Simple yes/no question. (HINT: The question wasn't does FCV have a path to ECNL-R)

A top place finisher playing in the bottom bracket of one ECNL showcase is not a pathway into ECNL.

Unlike ECNL your ECNL-R is not guaranteed of playing in a ECNL showcase. You can't plan on it, bank on it, write College Coaches with the expectation of it. You are not functionally a part of ECNL other than rounding out the bottom of a single showcase bracket playing against mostly other ECNL-R teams and the worst performing ECNL teams.

Awww. Someone needs a binky. ROTFLMAO.

Nobody is crying nor do they need a binky.

Simple facts have been posted without any attacks. And here is another fact, Villarreal only has their boys side in ECNL-R. Their girls teams are not a part of ECNL-R. So, sorry but FCV girls will not be playing in ECNL-R much less ECNL anytime soon. These are just facts.

Whoops...

I stand corrected regarding Villareal, however, it still doesn't change the fact that ECNL-R is not a part of a Pro-Rel system within ECNL. It is a B team league for full ECNL Clubs and the A team for non-ECNL clubs. As a league it is on par with CCL, EDP and NCSL.

You’ve been having a bad day. Take a rest.
