Yes, perhaps in that very narrow scenario but those are few in number. Also, those are the same very competitive players who choose to play up as they understand where and how they are developing the most. Coaches on these teams are also not encouraging these strong players to play down.

Wishful thought for your mediocre player to survive is good for mental health.

Mediocre players aren't on top ECNL teams. If there are, maybe ECNL isn't as good as it thinks.

Exactly. ECNL players on top teams are not mediocre. The messages here get so lost in translation.

Most ECNL teams only have on average 4 late born Sept-Dec players. So you would just swap them out for players within their own club. So it does come down to are late born RL players better than some current Q1/2 ECNL players . Also will GA Q 3/4 players now consider going over to ECNL?

My guess is we will probably see about a 50-60% Q3/4 players on rosters of 18 once this goes into effect.

Yeah good way to put it

In PreECNL, perhaps and more so the younger you go -- although I imagine parents freaking out even more at those levels. All those playing 11v11, however, RAE is not much of a factor AND at the highest levels, top players already play and practice against the age above. Still, there'll be movement like there is each season as clubs and players seek perceived advantages.

I don't think this will happen, but it it did, it sure sounds like an opening for GA if it stays BY. Those Q1/Q2 players would have to go somewhere.

ECNL definitely going to SY. The rumor is GA will stay BY but have biobanding for girls. But I don’t think GA will get the top Q1/2 players. The top players will want to play against the best competition. But GA will definitely improve getting some solid players who may be looking for more PT in a BY system.

Obviously some RL 11s will be better than some ECNL 12s. But overall I do not see this huge wave of RL late born kids taking ECNL roster spots.

It will mostly be ECNL or GA late born starters who will get roster spots on newly configured school aged teams.

If your current ECNL team has 4 Q3/Q4 players, then statistically, after the SY change, there will be around 4-5 Q1/Q2 players staying. The rest 14 players will be older Q3/Q4 from older NL team, GA, RL and other clubs. For the 14 players to be removed, 4 Q3/Q4 will go to younger NL team, and 10 Q1/Q2 will go to RL. So we are talking about as many as 50% current NL players will be removed. Those parents will freak out.

That is why ECNL can not do hard cut off next year. This will cause a huge disruption on existing team. They will have a transition plan.

This wrongly assumes that q3/q4 are THAT much better than q1/q2 players. Maybe when they were playing 7v7 but not 11v11.

The parental freak out will come when they realize these magical Q3/Q4 roster spots don't materialize after reading your comments up and down this thread.

This is true we are all just assuming Q3/4 2010s on average are better than Q1/2 2011s. But if RAE is real then more than likely they may not be more technically skilled but will be bigger and faster.

I’m not saying they are better but if they are as good and bigger and faster that will be an advantage for the Q3/4 players.
