[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It impossible to break into ecnl if you don't get in the first year?[/quote]

My daughter finishing up 2nd year of ECNL.  Tryouts for next year is done.  Some movement of players every year.  So with our experience, there's movement possibility those 3 years.  We're a mid table team.  I see more movement on teams with worse league records.  A few changes on teams who go to playoffs but not as many.

What I've seen are coaches willing to take a chance with a more athletic player and drop a more technical, less athletic player, hoping that helps the team.  As someone said earlier, speed of play and physicality is becoming more important as my daughter gets older.  Slower, more technical players stood out more when they were younger, on a smaller field.[/quote]

This is exactly why you lose against California and Texas teams.

Size is nice but speed, skills, and team play can easily win against size and speed alone.

Focusing on size and speed 9 times out of 10 implies direct play. [/quote]
California and Texas teams have speed, size, skills, and team play. Here we talk as if it has to be one or the other but in reality the best players have all of it [/quote]
