Soccer
No that is just not true. It’s middle school and high school soccer. College will be faster vs anything they experienced at their club. Also the speed of play is not that high in the ECNL or exDA clubs. It is not something that is emphasized or selected for in youth soccer in the US. The big difference in ECNL and exDA vs other leagues is the physicality and speed(physical speed of the player). Speed of play depends on technical skills and the vision thing. You either have it or you don’t. This is why those great athletes the coach says they will develop rarely develop. |
I love both of these posts. My DD is also GA and planning to stay for reason 2, plus the fact that it’s hard to break into a new starting lineup at a new club in a big recruiting year. It’s not like ECNL *wasn’t* the club’s first choice, it was, but we’re gonna play the hand my DD was dealt in the way that seems to minimize the bands and maximize what she wants to get out of club soccer anyway — the chance to play in college. I kind of don’t care about anything else. |
Minimize the BADS! |
Based on these numbers, the top talent has moved to ECNL. Out of 20 top GDA programs 17 went to ECNL, 2 to GAL and 1 is undecided. |
20 is a convenient spot to cut it off, also 2 of the 17 are GA clubs and who knows if their A team is in ECRL (not ECNL) or GA. GA is less than half the size of ECNL overall too. |
Where do you want to cut it off then? at 10? 20? 50? 75? 100? You can cut it off at any of these spots, and the comparison will still be the same. A majority of the top ranked clubs(wherever you choose to cut it off) are skewed to ECNL. |

| Why does everyone not like Bobby P? We are considering FCV for our child. Am I missing something other than his beinf tough which we are okay with. |
|
^^^As Long as your child is one of his favorites you are in good shape-otherwise, be prepared to be ignored and marginalized!
Some girls peak later and that is not who he cares about... |
You're going to need to like (or at least tolerate) kissing his ass and being surrounded by a *lot* of other parents who enjoy the same. If you're into that sort of thing, you'll love it there! |

I love uneducated soccer parents
Check out UMD Men's Program and what club the most amount of players come from...Baltimore Celtic National League players Don't need a league to be recruited...Just cause you play in ECNL, DA or GA...means squat My daughters team is EDP and has a winning record against ECNL/DA(GA) teams in tournaments/Showcases Any good club that has a strong culture of developing players and communicating with college coaches will have their players move on to play and get a education! |
This is true. There are some exceptions, sure. Pipeline (who is now in ECNL) and Celtic and Mo Rush (or at least until recently when KL left). But it is the exception, not the rule. |
Name the team and who you beat and at what non ECNL / DA (GA) tournament. |
