[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL will also offer nothing or very little to your son once the high school season begins because they allow their players to play high school soccer.  ECNL teams barely have enough kids to hold a practice, often needing to combine age groups, once high school soccer starts.  [/quote]

Interesting. Is this a common experience for ECNL parents U-15 and older? We are MLSNext and are considering switching clubs. The other club is ECNL (it just happens to be this way, we don't care whether it's MLSNext or ECNL).[/quote]

Nope- love that my kid can play both club and HS. Once your kid is in high school it sucks to be prevented from playing for HS (not for the soccer, for the experience). Also once you get to HS, and assuming your kid wants to play college, you want some open time in spring for ID camps, showcases SATs etc. If you have games every weekend you have no time for that--plus MLS doesn't allow you to do more than 1 ID camp a year which is silly. For boys you pretty much have to do ID camps unless your kid is the top .001%.

Appreciate ECNL has flexibility and our coaches have all been quite strong (i.e. the MLS coaches aren't fundamentally different than ECNL coaches). [/quote]
