[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL will be watered down with 2nd team while the top boys will be in MLS. So much for being a top league and you better hope this GA doesn't pick up momentum otherwise ECNL will be a thing of the past[/quote]

There is only 3 clubs, 2 in MD and one in DC , in the whole region here doing MLS. Not every top player is looking to go into MLS. Seen lot good talent individual outside current MLS teams.  [/quote]

Agree. There will be talented teams in MLS, ECNL, other leagues as well. Here’s more than 1 “proven pathway” to college. But there  were, and will be, plenty  of parents that will get sucked into a team b/c it plays the “highest” level. Tell us how that works when there’s a roster of 30 kids. B/c bloated rosters happen all too frequently and your DS may never get more than 50% PT in a game, or worse, doesn’t dress for multiple games.[/quote]

BaltArmour 16/17s had a roster of over 30 kids?!?! If a kid isn’t  playing how are they  getting into a college program? And more importantly how is a kid developing of they’re  not playing? Sounds really fun...

That's two teams.  The U17 team + maybe one or two of the best U16 players play (or played) in the DA league.  The rest of the U16s would have played in the DA-only league under the auspices of the EDP.  Not yet clear how the MLS league will handle U16/U17 age group.[/quote]

It's one team, a combined U16/U17 team. That is was the age group for DA, a combined 16&17 age group. 30+ kids on the roster is 30 kids+, several kids didn't play much at all, still paid their $3k++. The U16 SAC Prem Blue team was going to play in South Atlantic EDP Conferences this spring - was mostly U16s ('04s) that didn't make DA U16/U17 team; who pushed some SAC Prem Blue down to lower teams or to another club. There was no "DA only" league other than the U12 EDP "Developmental League."

MLS will have U13, U14, U15, U16, U17 and U18/19.
