[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is interested in ECNL anymore. [/quote]

All the good players on my DD’s ECNL team left for GA.[/quote]

I get that this is a troll post, but for other parents who might stumble onto this thread:

For now, ECNL is the top of the girls soccer pyramid for college recruiting. This is in large part to limited college coaching travel and recruiting budgets coupled with ECNL executives doing a very good job of making showcases easy to navigate for college coaches who attend.

None of this speaks to the quality of ECNL clubs or coaches. Many GA clubs and coaches have great programs and may be a good fit for your kid. Your GA team may in fact be significantly better than many ECNL teams. None of that matters. College coaches recruit players, not teams.

The side effect of ECNL having a better showcase program for college coaches is that ECNL has greater depth and, ON AVERAGE, better players; or at least players who can handle the expected physicality and speed of play that is normal in college.

If your kid wants to play in college and has offers from both a GA team and ECNL teams- congrats, your kid is pretty good at soccer. If your kid is already in HS, the coach only sorta matters, take ECNL. If your kid is only 12 or 13, then you have to figure out which coach will be better, commute times, cost, etc.

My first DD went GA to ECNL. It made a difference in recruiting. Second kid is finishing in an ECNL club, so I can’t speak to GA this year, but she did decide to stick with a coach she was sick of just for recruiting reasons.

That’s great. ECNL is falling apart, especially in this area.[/quote]

Why would you say that?  GA has made no inroads anywhere.  Only falling apart in the minds of people who believe there is some sort of MLSNext deal with GA that will make teams move.  IMO there is no such deal and even if they were most ECNL teams would stay.  [/quote]
First they ignore GA
Then they laugh at GA
Then they fight GA
Then GA wins

What stage are you in?[/quote]

I am in the GA is not really relevant to college soccer at the moment but that all could change but not really likely to.[/quote]

Tell me you are insecure about GA without telling me you always post on ECNL threads about GA.  Why can’t you just wait until Copa or the preseason tournaments where they play each other to see the results?  Oh, is it because those tournaments always show mid-Atlantic GA is not close to ECNL?  Wait to see the results, or keep showing you think GA needs your anonymous uninformed opinion.   I prefer to wait for actual results.  You would too if you were confident.  My guess is you are not and will continue.[/quote]
