[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL added 15 clubs this spring.

Good clubs to be sure but that is also 270 more players per age group. That is nearly 2000 kids per age group.

Again the entire league was just 900 kids. The league essentially, in one spring added nearly a third of what was once it’s entire player pool.

It is now just a showcasing platform that for most kids is no longer particularly difficult to make a team anymore. [/quote]

You lack experience and want a system that would cost $12,000 per family and trips on plans to play league games. Not only is it stupid, its wrong and not sustainable. On top of that, a closed elite system with limited resources to the vast population would only shrink the pool.  You are under the impression that only 700 girls in the nation are worth developing and that development should be paid for by the parents at the same cost as a private school. You don't understand RAE, puberty, ups and downs, etc. Almost 100 percent of elite teams don't look anything like they did when they were U9-13. You have a lot to learn. How old is your kid. Tell us about your skin in the game. Tell us about your experience with navigating US soccer. [/quote]

You are living in the past, I’m living in the now and what will be.

There are now over 2000 kids per age group in ECNL. There are nearly 30 more clubs in ECNL over the past two years. NPL’s are being converted to ECNL RL’s with the ability to earn showcase opportunities.

You cannot deny the aggressive ECNL expansion and the watering down affect it will have.

With 4000 to 6000 recruiting age kids per national showcase how much real bang for the buck is there? If you’re not at a Champions League field good luck getting looked at by tons of schools on the sideline.

The “elite ness” is what parents are paying for. And it gets worse if college programs take a hit and can’t send assistant coaches. How do you filter through 6,000 players across multiple locations?

Simple, you ignore the lower tier showcase games.
