[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incoming rant: ECNL KC will be another reason why ECNL needs to be broken up. Let's make a prediction: Shorten games, change of times, canceled games - AGAIN. Parents, like me, paying for all of the mess while staying awful hotels that are mandated to me by ECNL, too.  Oh, but give me an option to buy my way out of Event Connect's mandatory stay to play, I mean some one has to get paid. Players missing school, parents missing work for a dog and pony show in the freezing cold while coaches will most likely not show for those two  8 am 18degree games against teams they played last month. 
  
Midwest showcases in Dec don't work....TEN, STL. I mean, come on already. GO SOUTH!

And why is ECNL RL having a showcase the same weekend there? And why are there ECNLRL teams playing in the ECNL showcase when they have their own Showcase the same weekend.

ECNL needs to be broken up. [/quote]

Who would break the league up? What the actual **** are you talking about? Take your daughter to another team in another league.[/quote]

I get the point of ECNL being broken up as not happening - but OP can have the frustration that it's BS for shorten games, stay and play, poor playing conditions, etc. and just because they have those frustrations doesn't mean they should have to leave the the team and league. [/quote]

ECNL has parents, clubs and coaches bent over. They are too big and too greedy. I'm out after this year, DD is playing in college next year but ECNL showcases were a joke with the exception of Texas and FL and playoffs in SD. Because the first and second day games were in the sweet spot time of day. Getting the first game in cold or tornado weather, no one shows up to see kids and the last game of each day see less and less coaches and the third day late games there is maybe a coach that has a bad flight time. The rest of  the showcases were waste of money and time. I've been doing this ECNL thing for 8 years with two kids. And reading the PP above, why are there RL teams playing in the showcase when they have their own showcase the same days in the same city? ECNL is poisoning the youth soccer. [/quote]

Yeah, I get what you are saying.  My DDs team normally didn't go this December ECNL showcase.  They went to FL, TX and then the May showcase in NC in May for a playoff tune-up.  Playoffs whether in SD or Seattle are ok.  Not going to Dallas is more of a personal thing since we have family there and it was an nice way to catch up with them since we aren't there for many other reasons.  In many cases on the 3rd day, lots of coaches are on their way home.

Don't know anything about the RL teams and really don't care.  My DDs taam isn't playing any RL teams and has decent games times against good opponents.  [/quote]
