[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EDP &gt; CCL

for those of us who both like and understand this beautiful game there is absolutely no comparison.

Whoever tells you otherwise is lying through their teeth. We’ve see a lot of that lately due to covid and masks off (no pun intended) in regards to keeping people’s money.

CCL is basically appealing to coaches and their schedules but as a league it’s a joke.

Imagine... you pay 2000 or more in a year and play like 5 games in fall and luckily almost 8 in spring. It’s pathetic.

EDP on the other hand has a genuine system of promotion/relegation which naturally makes talent flow up and less-skilled go down but it is organized well and smoothly. On top of that EDP’s exposure is better than CCL. I’ve met college coaches in EDP high profile matches.

How do I know you ask?

I have coached both. [/quote]

you might have coached both but  you are only telling part of the story.  for the $2000 or more for pathetic 13 games you mention how do you calculate my daughters team that plays both CCL and EDP for no additional cost to me as a parent?
Maybe consider the club, what they offer, how well its fit for you kid, the value you get for your money and so on versus take a "coach" perspective on one league being pathetic because a club charges $2000 for 13 games.  how that has anything to do with the actual league itself is beyond me.[/quote]

PP poster from comment above here... this is precisely why we are leaving.  On top of the 13 CCL league games, imagine not getting blown out in them (we're honestly not even competitive).  As you said, we're looking at the entirety of the club.[/quote]

Alexandria has at least two boys teams who play EDP.    If you're looking for a team who plays EDP, look at SYC.  Their top teams, at least the ages my kids play, play in the EDP.  CCL is a club format, not based on the ability of the team, which is why EDP works better; however, EDP does have the same club to club format, which is again just like CCL, a mixed bag of teams.  Look for a team that plays on your DC level and find a coach you like. [/quote]

Alexandria's top teams play in CCL, their B and C teams play EDP.[/quote]

This is not accurate. Some of their top teams play in both CCL and EDP. Second teams tend to play NCSL. [/quote]
