[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The town hall didn’t address any of the issues being discussed here directly. It was an hour of pomp and self-importance. There were statements about meaningful games and high club standards in abstract, and the Regional league being the base of the pyramid, that is all.

One observation: Lavers said that “clubs” develop players. This is wrong. Coaches develop (or recruit/pick) good players. Clubs develop (or hire) good coaches. This is a key distinction in that the ECNL league should spend most of its time and effort assessing and training and raising the quality of its coaches, not the players. This is the only way to “raise the quality” of play. The coaches are the tool by which players are developed. In theory, Clubs that don’t demonstrate a commitment to high quality coaching (coach training, observation, grade, adjust, repeat) should be subject to relegation, and simple W and L’s don’t tell the story. Games and more importantly practices have to be observed. That takes time and money and effort and is where reality won’t meet theory. They’ll likely simply look at avg. license level, and training course completion cents I suppose no wins and losses. That’d be easier, but not effective. Anyhow my kids getting older so by the time any change is effective, she’ll be off to college. [/quote]
