ECNL moving to school year not calendar

[Anonymous]

The actual problem with your projections is a ton of the Q3/Q4 kids that should exist don't, so there isn't a magical well of 1-1 replacements. Even if they dip into RL there will still be a shortage.

Well it looks ECNL is already losing top clubs and players to GA (BY) in this area. ECNL might be poised to become the leading rec and regional league.

But clubs won’t tell you that you will have to figure it out.

I think most clubs will do it. Minimal cut, but let all capable Q3/Q4 join. The roster will be 25 or more. Bench BY parents need to be realistic.

The truth if you're being honest ... Bench parents need to be realistic

Right? The whole “Bench BY parents” is so stupid and petty. It’s based from jealousy and ignorance mixed with a toxic hope that an age cutoff will make their own child’s outcome better.

👏 the only thing that makes a kid’s outcome better is for that kid to want and work for a better outcome 👏

No, the reality is as soon as SY starts, the team will be 70% Q3/Q4, just like the current 70% Q1/Q2. On the top team, everybody works hard, so your reasoning is pure stupid. So statistically speaking, if ECNL team does not increase their roster from 18 to 25, those 7 bench Q1/Q2 will be cut.

All hail the q1/q2 doomsayer! Actually, that's likely true in about 3-5 years for all age groups as the youngers reach 11v11, but it won't be right away, as much as you apparently would like it to be.

Obviously dim, even those Q3/Q4 in the RL team, they literally played up all the time. When the NL younger play against RL older, it is always RL older win. Q3/Q4 RL will replace Q1/Q2 bench.

Well, even RL older isn't just Q3/Q4. It includes the entire BY. I've often seen top BY players play up on these types of teams and have no problems and often score a goal or 2.

My whole point is bench Q1/Q2 will be replaced by Q3/Q4 RL. Top BY player's parents will not waste time here to argue among insecure parents that their kids will lose the NL spot.

Neither would top Q3/Q4 parents.

Wishful thinking good for your mental health.

Putting up with trash talk is part of the game.

ECNL will fight back. We should see some aggressive transition plans soon, together with some new ECNL clubs from GA.

ECNL will definitely make a play on adding quality boys/girls clubs. MLSN will continue to be top league for boys but the girls side can take pretty much any club they want.

What we will see is ECNL and MLSN looking for full membership by 26/27. So teams will either be ECNL or MLSN/GA.
Will girl clubs leave ECNL so boys can stay MLSN?

We will see in the next 2 months. I bet there will be a MLSN club move to ECNL for their girls program.

I’m no expert on boys clubs I’ll admit that. But it’s just hard to image an ECNL girls club leaving for GA so boys can goto MLSN. Unless they have no local ECNL competition around to take players.

But any clubs with 1 or 2 local ECNL teams will definitely take the majority of players.

Is ecnl the chicken or the egg? Is the club strong because they develop strong players or because girls join to wear the patch and play high quality competition.

I’m hearing there are 3 clubs in my local area (within an hour of each other) alone with ECNL offers for the girls if the boys leave MLSN for ECNL as well.

There is a strong chance a socal MLSN club will switch to ECNL for their girl's team. Let's see.

Which club in Socal? There’s 2 top Socal GA clubs (across all age groups) and one of those has 2x GA teams per age group.

This just doesn’t seem very likely. Socal ECNL is one of the top regional leagues. If the didn’t bring over the top GA clubs they’d just get shelled week after week.

I think the point being made isn't about lack of hard work by anyone. It'll be more about who wants it more and plays better, continues to develop, not what birth month they are, especially now they've been playing for years at a high level.

I don’t think you have any idea what separates the very best, from the next tier. The vast vast vast majority of ECNL players are nowhere near the top. The vast vast vast majority are not in fact working hard. They may think they are. Their parents might think they are too. But they aren’t.

From whom? 🤣

ECNL is not going to just add garbage to add garbage.
