[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classic case of old/rigid/outdated model (ECNL) w/ an uh oh realization as both the former DA clubs and strongest EDP clubs join.  Fast forward 3-5 years Davy swallows Goliath possible. [/quote]

What’s outdated about ecnl?[/quote]

Here is the thing most people will not admit, DA was very appealing and was doing well in the younger ages. If it had stayed together and changed a few thing it would have become like boys DA in 5 years. The older age groups really do not change much. So it was never about them. It’s all about getting players at u12-u13.

Parents at u12/u13 were staying at the DA club because of familiarity, cost and travel time. Other clubs kids were coming in for the same reason include ecnl kids. You are crazy if you think this does not matter. Look at the travel times and cost for ecnl clubs.

Look at the clubs around here. The ECNL clubs 08’s and 07’s are just not what they should be. It’s because those clubs did not get the steady stream of payers from the DA and other clubs. All the ecnl clubs in the area are recruiting hard at those ages. Who knows what will happen but cheaper, less travel, girl only league does have an appeal. College coaches have a formal and informal scouting system. The coaches will find the players regardless of the league and showcases. [/quote]
