ECNL moving to school year part 2

[Anonymous]

Everyone freaked and said I was a liar. Just SMH and the anger that some people know things and tried to share.

I thought US Club did come out with an official announcement, along with the reasons for changing from 9/1 to 8/1?

I think GA is switching BUT I wouldn't trust anything these updates without a link to something official OR at minimum give us some fuzzy picture of meetings minutes!

Thanks. I was thinking the reason GA is holding on the announcement is to wait for the decision from MLSN . If MLSN decide to go SY, then they can appear to be on the same front. If MLSN decide to stay BY, then at least GA gave it a chance.

Whats interesting is the militant SY poster is a boys ECNL parent. Or maybe a boys ECNL coach. You dont run into these types very often. Boys teams are more fluid than girls teams. This is why MLSN works so well. It just recruits talent from all the different leagues around them. Because of this you dont usually see boys parents emotionally tied to a specific club or league. Add in that puberty can completely change what boys are like on the field.

Since we know your kid is a boy playing in boys ECNL. What do you think you'll gain with SY? MLSN already has biobanding and for what its worth most top players are playing up 1-2 years. These are the ones that will play professionally or get college scholarship offers first. Your kid playing down because of ECNL switching from BY to SY wont become a superstar.

If the top players are already playing 1-2 years up then why is there a forum of parents concerned over an age change to SY why would anyone care? If your kid is ECNL or MLSN changing really wouldn’t matter because their kids are elite?

The answer to the question is it definitely matters because even amongst ECNL or MLSN the majority of player are not at the level to play up and be as effective. Especially when all players are talented and the skill difference is usually very small.

So now you change the age groups and introduce 6 months of older, bigger, stronger players on average which makes it even more challenging to get on the field.

Which is why some parents are hoping GA/MLSN stay BY because they don’t want their kids playing against even older players because that makes games more difficult and competitive in a soccer landscape that’s already ultra competitive.

Um….because the vast majority of parents are on the outside looking in, and think that the SY for rec + ECNL change will benefit their kid in such to such a drastic degree that they’ll then be on the inside.

What about the kids that are at the top level, that are Q4 kids? They exist and will have a distinct advantage IF they decide to play in the new age groupings.

You mean the kids already on the inside?

I don’t know a single parent or kid from top teams that 1) cares about the age change 2) wants the disruption it will cause to their kid, team and development.

Any benefit that accrues will be to the u-littles. The kids (parents) on the outside won’t get the result they think they’ll get. Know why? Because the 18-20 seats are already filled age group after age group. The only change is where you draw the line between which age group they’re in.

Of course there will be some kids that bounce off (there always is) because they’re on the bubble. Spoiler alert…bubble kids are in all birth months, as will be the kids that replace them.

Some head in the sand Q1 parents will get quite the surprise then.

Someone already asked the DCUM admin about this and they confirmed that 70% of posta were the SY guy. I'd assume its increased to 80% since creating the new thread.

I rolled over in bed this morning and Trish was already working beside me with her coffee and said these posts are a load of manure

Just in case in the last minute ECNL/USYS has one more trick up their sleeve : 8/1 + 30

Could ECNL go to 9/1? USClubs said 8/1 but do leagues still have the ability to choose what date they want to use? I do not believe ECNL has actually said what date they are using have they?

ECNL hasn't outlined the specific details yet but they have said they want to do SY. They could choose whatever date they want but US Club sanctions (maintains player paperwork) for ECNL and many other leagues. If USYS and US Club have said 8/1 then ECNL will 99.9% chance be 8/1.

One thing that will be interesting to watch for is if ECNL puts a rule in that Aug birthday players arent allowed to play a grade down in school. Which would be the same thing as 9/1+30 just addressed in a less rigid way.

Why do that? Unless you’re going to roll out GY?
