[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of all things holy, take the GA offers, people. If your kid isn’t on ECNL NL by now as a 2011, they won’t be. And if they for some ungodly reason make it there, good luck with getting any decent playing time. [/quote]

This is a crazy response... My daughter just finished her first year of ECNL as a 2010. She didn't play RL, NPL, E64, etc. before that. She did play on a regional team with a solid coach and great teamates; they played the right way. If your kid is good enough, they can still make a high-level team past the age of 13/14 (smh). Also, if your kid isn't good enough, there is still time for them to commit to individual training and get there. [/quote]

Yeaaa but for which 2010 ECNL team. [/quote]

The poster didn't say "If your kid isn't on a [b]top[/b] ECNL team by now as a 2011, they won't be." So I think my comment can stand on it's own.

Having said that, my daughter's team with be heading to the ECNL playoffs this summer. I just think it's silly to say that if you aren't on a top team by age 13/14, they won't be. Some girls that are on those teams will burn out and quit. There are other girls (not on ECNL/GA, etc.) out there that will catch fire, train with a purpose, and make waves.

One more example... my older daughter YG07 has a friend that just moved to ECNL as a Junior... she committed to a D1 program before making that move. There are multiple pathways to success! And success looks different for each player, don't get so caught up in all the hype. [/quote]
