[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Multiple and many leagues are fine and it promotes competition and alternatives. However, it would be fun for the kids to have state/regional/national cups and tournaments that cross all leagues, are open to all, and aren’t shunned by certain leagues or organizational bodies. Not everything is about college recruiting. It’s a sport and sometimes having the best play against the best is what it’s all about. [/quote]

I agree with this. We are an ECNL family and think more teams the better. The dirty secret is you have families whose kid got in ECNL U13 and hated the DA because it meant more kids were developing at a higher level and also competing nationally. Without that you have a fairly small subset of kids who are really being developed and the ones who didn’t make ECNL at U13 sort of fall away and some even quit by U15. In old times many who got U13 opportunity had an in with their team with parents in board etc. That is not good because kids really can develop various ages. Not everyone also has parents who politically savvy in these leagues. Our daughter really came into her speed and confidence later. Having that extra league enabled her in a team u13. I hope the GA works because there are more kids who fit that description and should not be sent packing developmentwise in middle school.[/quote]
