[quote=Anonymous]Main difference is most of the boys who play MLS largely want to go pro so you get really talented players who believe that is their path.

In my POV- ECNL is better for college recruiting as they established a better and programming for college coaches that MLS doesn’t care a lick about.

Other main difference is high school sports

My son really wanted to play for his school and was able to do so and play ECNL

He wanted to play for his school not because the soccer is great (it’s ok at best) but due to the social aspect.

Nothing quite like 100 kids coming out to cheer you on and winning state titles for a teenage boy. Some say serious players don’t care about Hs- but they don’t remember what it’s like to be a teenager

My player doesn’t have any aspirations of going pro- just wants to play in college and loves the sport so ECNL was his route and was the right option. I am glad it exists for those who don’t want to get after the pro path

He is a top player on his team and has been in front of many D1-3 college coaches via ECNL showcases. These coaches are now reaching out to recruit him.

So for him this was the right path as he has zero interest in pro…[/quote]
