ECNL or GA it really does not matter.  There are way too may kids who are in ECNL or GA who can't even run let alone play. It is more of a bragging right for kids more than anything soccer.  Or the parents/coaches playing a dirty game taking kids who don't deserve to be there.  And the poor kid does not even know her helicopter parents sneaked in behind other kids who deserve to be there instead. The result? Teams that can't perform and then you go to nationals and you lose 10-0 to a California team LOL. Parents need to focus on development for the long run until college not get their kid to ECNL or GA for Instagram bragging in middle school.

So your position is there should be fewer kids in ECNL or GA. By what mechanism do you wish this to happen? Do you envision a world where some authority gets to dictate how many teams are allowed in a certain league? Who and why would anyone get this power?

ECNL/GA and soccer clubs are businesses. They wouldn't exist if there weren't demand and people willing to pay for them. It's strange that you would want to limit them. Do you also want to limit how many restaurants or cars exist because there are too many bad ones? I guarantee if people didn't want more soccer teams and leagues they would stop existing. They exist because that's what we want.[/quote]

It's a want vs need argument.  Parents want as many ECNL teams in the area so their kid has a better shot of making "the top team".  but just like you said, they exist because that is what you want and are willing to pay for as parents. It's not what the players need, and the more teams in ECNL or GA dilutes each team and makes it more difficult to compete at a national level.

LOL National level? As a parent why should that be my concern? What parent wants to limit their own kid’s opportunities for the sake of the greater good of the national team?[/quote]

who said anything about greater good of the national team?  I guess you're good with paying all this money to travel across the country and then lose 0-10 in the opening match of playoffs - cause that is what happens when we dilute the talent pool in the area with too many ECNL/GA teams.[/quote]
