[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-ECNL is not a league.  Some clubs have Pre-ECNL for their top U12 team stating this team will eventually become the ECNL team for U13.

BRYC is re- labeling their 07B academy team as pre-ECNL. Kinda weird that they would have a U15 ECNL and U15 PRE- ECNL. Can anyone explain the thinking behind this?[/quote]

This is interesting.  Maybe BRYC is using the PRE-ECNL label for the team that will play in the ECNL-R league.  If so they should just name it the BRYC ECNL-R Team so it would like BRYC 07B ECNL, BRYC 07B ECNL-R, BRYC 07B Blue (3rd team) or would this make too much sense?[/quote]

OMG with all the ECNL-R crap on the site lately. Somebody is new to this.

"Pre ECNL" has traditionally been used two ways. 
1. To label a U11 or U12 A team in a ECNL club. 
[b]2. It has also been further extended to U13 and older ECNL club B teams.

The ECNL-R designation should replace "Pre-ECNL" as a B team designator.

The first designation for younger age groups is really the only proper and sensible use for it. [/quote]

But BRYC already has an ECNL U15 team, and their other u15 team is labeled pre doesn't make sense to be a pre at u15[/quote]

Um, look at the bolded.

Does it make sense? No, but this is how clubs use the letters E C N L to make something seem like more than it is. Parents believe it. Just look at the uptick in ECNL-R discussion lately, as if it is a thing. US Club soccer literally just changed the name from NPL to ECNL-R and BOOOM! parents suddenly believe their kids are really in ECNL or worse. It was literally not much more than a branding exercise and now people are acting like they are in a national level league. It won't surprise me to see clubs extend the brand down to "pre -ECNL-R" soon. [/quote]
