[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the top GA teams probably being a better choice, but time will tell what those end up being with all the new clubs being added, those dissolved, and the constant changes.  All the changes that make parents constantly shop around is the issue so it’s impossible to really know anything other than what’s true right now.  And what’s true right now could be totally different a year from now. 
I disagree with RL always being the second team though, there are many clubs with RL as their top team, and some are good and some not.[/quote]
If a club only has ECRL and they consistently do well. They'll get promoted to ECNL and ECRL. The best players will make the top team and everyone else will play om the ECRL team and it will be terrible.

You can cherry pick here and there about ECRL teams. But if you're going to do that cherry pick GA as well and watch the GA teams destroy ECRL teams.

The bottom line is that ECRL is a league primarily for 2nd teams. GA is a league for 1st teams. They don't compare. [/quote]

This simply isn’t true and ignores the fact that many (most?) ECNL clubs are now combos of other clubs, drawing a few players from each.

VSA, GFR, VYS, PWSI, BRYC, etc all have their top teams in ECRL. As does Strikers, Kickers, etc.

The only club in the area that does not is Arlington, and they have shown their second teams are often better than most clubs’ first teams.

MYS moving their green team from ECRL to GA is a perfect example of this. The players that can make Union will still go to ECNL, and we’re seeing that with the u13s. The remainder will stay on Green as their first team. Literally no different than Vienna and BRYC.[/quote]

MYS moving RL to GA. Typical MYS. Watch them tank next year in lower ranking table and lose week in week out. They may beat some low teams like TSJ or Alexandria but that will be it. Basically it is not about the league. It is about the team. Every league has bottom teams and top teams and it is only worth it if you are in a top teams. And the moment that changes and if your kid is good, move on and look for better teams in the area. No loyalty in soccer. [/quote]
