[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still going to be a basement team. All you can do is laugh.  Nova needs to collapse more ECNL teams.  And make RL better.. [/quote]

Why? The purpose of ECNL is not to win games, it is to help (girls) get showcased to play college soccer. Sure, it’s nice to win at Nationals, but by the end of 9th grade every kid on that team is thinking about the college angle, working on their clips and figuring out which ID sessions to go to.

ECNL teams are about developing players who can step onto a college pitch and not get blown out on day one. ECNL (and GA) re successful because college coaches go to the showcases. Those coaches go to the showcases because they know that every player on the field can all handle a certain level of pressure and physicality. So with those bases covered, now they can focus on what players they want, which players are likley willing to play for their school, and which players will help them keep their jobs.[/quote]

It use to be that way.  But not anymore.. its become too diluted.  colleges are only showing up to watch maybe top 2 brackets.  They are not showing up to league games of the worse teams nor ECNL teams in 4th bracket of a showcase.   Ive seen ECNL teams in bottom tier brackets getting owned by RL teams. League is not going to matter if your kid is good and wants to play college.  You go to the various IDs if you are serious about college. [/quote]
