VPL State Cup

[Anonymous]

Anyone know how BRYC's U13 ECNL got entered into the VPL State Cup? They aren't VPL. Thanks

[Anonymous]

It is open to outside teams who want to participate

I believe it’s the umbrella ECNL falls under (US Club Soccer). I could be wrong.

VPL is part of US Club as is ECNL. So as PP stated, that is how.

[Anonymous]

As weak as Vpl state cup is not sure why they would want to enter, but any US club affiliate is free to participate.

OP here. Thank you. I didn't realize that ECNL was US Club Soccer.

VPL is part of the money grab. The state cup and nationals they operate is as weak as you can get.

A safe bet that any household where “moneygrab” is in frequent use probably doesn’t see much under the tree come Christmas. Yeah, everybody’s out to get your precious money, pal. It’s all rigged. Glad you are smart enough to have dodged that bullet.

The point, idiot, is that VPL is a lame excuse for a state cup and basically worthless.

Pretty safe to say that all nonprofessional tournaments are meaningless to everybody other than the participants. Do you know or care who won the women or men’s National Championships this year? If so, why? Do you think those are really valuable or meaningful to anybody else? That doesn’t mean the participants should not enjoy it or think it is worthwhile to themselves. I love the petty hierarchies people try to establish based on their children’s (or, more accurately, their children’s’ teams’) accomplishments on a pitch. Priceless. Yes, bow down to the kids and parents who don’t play in these state cups. Maybe your kids will win a scholarship to a completely mediocre college after investing more than the cost of tuition in ECNL or DA travel.

Doradus and LeeMV tried to carpetbag the under 17 boys and got beat handily in the semis.

The point is that US Clubs Soccer is creating another money grab. There are three main leagues: DA, ECNL and US Youth Soccer. VPL/NPL is an inferior league and fake national title with zero credibility. It like Supr Y. It is worthless.

Except that it's fun for the kids, but why should that be taken into consideration. Someone already posted this but I'll repost the question....what in life isn't a money grab? What?

Because you’re paying more money to play what is essentially a league tournament. You’re not playing against any new teams, just the same teams in your current league.

They are soccer games to the kids and are no more special or memorable than any other game they ever play. Stop acting like these tournaments are some spiritual, life defining experience that the kids will remember for the rest of their lives.

^^^^+1000 and would include that NPL knows that there are suckers like parents on this board willing to buy a trophy for their kid. e don't need another national tournament. Its like Super Y. Stop the non-sense. We need to consolidate the leagues we already have not create a fourth national league. It is just stupid.
