[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is gong on? We have two games this weekend and the leagues has not given out start times. [/quote]

LOL. Is this your first season in CCL? Have fun.

I'm not arguing about the merits or elite status of one league versus another, but based on my experience with two kids in several clubs, EDP scheduling is superior to CCL. With CCL, everything was always TBD, plus there were many, many last minute cancellations allegedly due to "coaching conflicts?"  Coaching conflicts . . . that apparently popped up the day before a game.

Troll alert.  I have had 3 kids go through CCL and their scheduling is fine, when there are TBDs, it's usually the host club trying to lock down fields/times.  Yes, the same clubs that schedule DA, ECNL, NCSL, EDP, etc.  So don't bother trying to slam the league for the club's issues.  [/quote]

Not a troll. I was just stating my experience over three seasons of CCL with two different kids. You are saying failure to lock in times is a club issue and not a league issue, which is probably true.  I said that in a later post.  Glad CCL works for you.

We did not have not have similar scheduling problems with other leagues as we had with CCL. In other leagues,the games were set, including times, well in advance of the season.  Look, a TBD time might work fine for you and your family. But if you have one kid in CCL and the other in CCL2 and a TBD for Fredericksburg and a TBD for Frederick on the same day and you live in Maryland, it it annoying not to know what time each game is until the week before.  Some of us have other kids who have interests other than soccer.

As I said, the CCL format might work great for some families, but it didn't work well for mine.  Also, my experience was at the younger age groups (because we moved to a non-CCL club).  Perhaps it is better with older age groups. Or maybe our club just sucked with scheduling, which is also possible, but it was the away games that at unknown times that bothered me most.  I don't want to have to hold entire days open until the week before the game.  Again, that's my personal preference.[/quote]
