[quote=Anonymous][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]

The posters intent was if your not on this XX ECNL team its because you didn't join early enough, prior to that all ECNL was good.  So that is what the other poster meant by the ECNL life comment.  Most posters on this board swear if you are not ECNL then you are not good.  ECNL people like to strike fear as if you do join now then your screwed.  Those same parents get cut and the ones that patiently waited and got developed take that kids spot.  [/quote]
