DH has officiated games for that league as well as CCL, NCSL, EDP.
He believes NPL to be above the mentioned. However, my DD’s club is making a switch and ditching EDP and NCSL to play exclusively in NPL. Should I be worried and leave to another club or not? One thing is to make a few extra $ on the side running around with a whistle and another the development of your child. |

I would put the leagues in this order: CCL NPL<=>EDP NCSL |

So you place the one league without promotion/relegation on top? |

ECNL/DA
NPL/CCL 1 CCL2/NCSL ODSL |

There is no DA (period). There was no ODSL in the fall. EDP and NCSL top divisions have some decent teams. |

like CCL has some clubs who don't belong there anymore |

I'm not sure what league your kid plays in has anything to do with what league your husband should ref more frequently. Honestly, your husband should not ref the same league that your DD plays in. |

for girls, NPL is strong at U11 and U12 - before many of those players all move on to ECNL or GAL.
Starting at U13, NPL for girls is roughly equivalent to CCL 1 and the top half of NCSL division 1 |

| actually I would say that starting at U13, CCL 1 has stronger teams than NPL. |

| All the leagues are fairly equal dont buy into the BS. There are quite a few boys NCSL Division 1 teams that will consistently beat local ECNL teams. A few ODSL teams that joined NCSL for the fall actually held their own. CCL falls right in line with all the other leagues. Focus on where your child will develop as an individual player the most. Find the best fit for her I promise you The league differences aren't that big of a difference. |

I'm placing the leagues in the order I believe reflects the relative strengths of the teams that play in them. That doesn't mean there aren't good teams in the other leagues, nor that every CCL team is better than teams in the other leagues. Nor does it mean that I wouldn't much prefer promotion / relegation leagues for all teams in the area. I'm just basing my opinion off the play I have actually seen. |

Sorry but this isn't true. The leagues are not fairly equal. The best CCL teams are good and would doubtless beat some ECNL teams as would the best NPL/EDP teams beat some CCL teams and the best NCSL teams would beat some NPL/EDP teams. But there no NCSL division 1 teams that would stand a chance of beating most of the ECNL teams, and very few that would beat even the worst ECNL team on a consistent basis. |

| CCL is a joke. Would not compete with EDP or ECNL or GAL. |

Not for the first time, and not for the last time: those who talk about leagues generally don't like talking about their club, those who talk only club don't like talking about their kid's team or their kid, and those who talk incessantly about their kid's team often cannot talk about their kid. Enough with this nonsense. |
