[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is GFR moving to ECNL-R next season? If not, where will their top teams play?[/quote]

Most top teams play in both VPSL/ECNL-R and EDP.[/quote]

Is it only a matter of time before the older groups also move to ECNL? [/quote]

No, unaffiliated ECNL-R clubs will never make it into ECNL. ECNL is a closed league to club membership. There is no way for a club to play their way into ECNL. ECNL-R clubs/teams can earn the opportunity to play in one of the lower ECNL showcase brackets if they win their respective division but other than that they will not get into ECNL without a merger of sorts.[/quote]

ECNL management has publicly discussed the possibility of relegating under performing ECNL clubs and promoting top performing ECNL-R clubs. Will it ever actually happen? Who knows.

Now that ECNL-R will include second teams from at least some local ECNL clubs it will be a good measure of how clubs stack up. I suspect the other VA ECNL teams will also place their second teams in ECNL-R in a year.

Personally would love to see FCV get ECNL and put Loudoun top teams in ECNL-R but don't think ECNL management will ever let FCV in.

Loudoun parents lets wait till winter time before you brag about how good your 07 Girls are (were?).

Key phrase is "clubs" not "teams". Pro/Rel will never happen in ECNL. [/quote]

why did ECNL say that they plan to begin promoting and relegating clubs if it will never happen?[/quote]

To make some ECNL-R clubs happy[/quote]

If they dont promote them they might lose them. They might join some other more competitive league.[/quote]
